Italso meant, students retaking the test could not exceed the scores of those not eligible to take theretake. It was thought that the 80% limit would discourage students from using the first test as apractice test. The retake tests were similar to the original tests, to assess the application of thesame concepts using different questions, but at the same level of difficulty, and the same pointvalue. The retake tests were also paper-based tests and students had 50-minutes to completethem. A single test time for each retake was scheduled outside of the regular class schedule, oneweek after the original test.DataThe ESC 201 gradebook from

The study in this paper provides results of measuring studentperceptions for these events with respect to leadership development.Multiple studies have assessed the effectiveness of engineering leadership programs indeveloping leadership skills and the consensus is that students and alumni report learning theseskills through the lectures, in class activities, assignments and other experiences provided bythese programs [1], [4], [8], [9], [13], [14].

as a trial-and-error cycle between them and the grader.The other key finding is that allowing regrades may not necessarily drastically increase studentgrades, particularly when using outcomes-based assessment. Faculty may be concerned thatstudents could use regrades to boost their overall grade to a level that does not reflect theirknowledge of the course material. This should not be a significant concern.1 One student only resubmitted 2 Activities and received a lower score on one of those two activities, resulting in asmall net decrease in final course grade due to regrades.References[1] L.

At the same time, the rise of crowd-sourcedhomework solution services makes finding and copying homework solutions (commonly referredto as “cheating”) exceptionally tempting for even the best students [2]. Clearly, the unquestionedrole of homework in engineering coursework should be re-evaluated, clearly defined, and refinedto accomplish its intended end.Fortunately, ASEE’s active educator community has not been silent on this topic. For thepurpose of this discussion, homework pursues a “three-fold goal… practice, instructor feedback,and self-assessment” while simultaneously considering

The ESEMAoperationalizes EM measurement through a 34-item survey.

Anotherstudy reported positive student responses to muddiest point and group-based activities in classbut did not indicate whether gains on summative assessments occurred (Ankeny & Krause,2014).

It is therefore important for the engineeringeducation community to design curricular materials that help students with these goals.One such curricular intervention is a professional portfolio. A portfolio is a purposefulcollection of student work that tells the story of the student’s efforts, progress, orachievement in a given area. Portfolio construction aligns well with the properties of aneffective learning environment (i.e., it is concurrently learner-centered, knowledge-centered, assessment-centered, community-centered, and context-centered), and thusrepresents a

Unprofessional language, poor grammar and spelling,badly-formatted tables, figures, and graphs, and data reported without any sense of context:these and many other problems were endemic in the UT-Tyler engineering program.

Seniors are required to take two, two-hour longcomprehensive examinations, one in the fall quarter and the other in the winterquarter. The questions are purchased from an external source. The fall andwinter quarter examinations simulate the morning and the afternoon portion of theFE examination, respectively. The examinations count 20% towards their finalgrade in the capstone design course. This paper summarizes the results compiledfor the past four years for mechanics based courses.
