Engineering Education, 2018 Assessing Student Assessment in a Flipped Classroom Bryan J. Mealy California Polytechnic State University, San Luis ObispoAbstractOne of the many advantages of a flipped classroom is that it provides more time for instructors towork directly with students. Assessing students with in-class quizzes and/or exams effectivelymitigates this advantage by replacing time spent on direct student/instructor interaction with non-interactive assessment. While assessment using quizzes and exams do not provide a directlearning experience, many students place a high value on such assessment techniques distributedthroughout the course as opposed to having them

MOTIVATION AND BACKGROUND Additive manufacturing (AM, or 3D printing) technology is quickly becoming a common sightin cornerstone engineering design courses [1,2]. The reason is twofold: (i) AM is set to be adominant tool for end-use manufacturing (and thus it benefits engineering students to be exposedas soon in their careers as possible) and (ii) low-cost AM systems can enable rapid prototypingand iteration in the design process, while dovetailing well with computer-aided design (CAD)skills also learned in cornerstone design courses.

drawbacks, however.Common concerns are that team members will agree to give one another identically highratings, or give ratings based on gender or racial prejudice, or inflate their own ratings if self-ratings are collected. Some instructors also worry that many students will resent having theirgrades affected by their teammates’ ratings. The objective of this study was to examine thevalidity of these concerns.A peer rating system developed at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology was modifiedand used in two sophomore-level chemical engineering courses. The students completed theirhomework in instructor-formed teams in each course, and an average homework grade wascomputed for each team. At the end of each course the students confidentially

In Civil and Industrial engineering, theexpected rates of employment growth are as high as 24% and 14%, respectively. As the interestin engineering education in the U.S. remains steady at best over the last few decades, theimplications of projected growth can have serious undesired consequences for the U.S. economyand the society. Furthermore, the number of engineering degrees awarded to underrepresentedgroups is far below the desired levels. The recruitment and retention

The restof the students (that is, more than 77% of the students) solved the problem without addressingthe ethical issues. The reason could be that the problem does not reflect an ethical dilemma forthem. However, and although this is beyond the scope of this paper, this should be an indicatorof us (the engineering education community at large) doing not such a great job in conveying theimportance of ethics to engineering students.
