evaluation. If not, the class gets a poor one.Id. Good evaluations can be reflections of something other than good teaching: they cansometimes be the result of teachers pandering to students’ prejudices, or never challengingstudents. Id.Evaluations also do not necessarily have a high correlation with how much students havelearned: while correlations may be positive when objective indices of student learning are usedas criteria, many are weak in magnitude or modest. [5] Some researchers have found thatevaluations are influenced by the halo effect by things irrelevant to student learning, such asgrading leniency. [6] However, it is the authors’ opinion that this “halo effect” in summativeassessments can be mitigated by careful structuring of the

to Go—The National Research Council (NRC) recently published a reportciting three “serious concerns” with engineering graduates. Many have “little knowledge of thedesign process,” “inadequate knowledge of the role of technology in their professions,” and“little knowledge of business, economics, and management.” These issues cut to the core of civilengineering. Graduates who do not understand “The Big Picture” will be challenged to providesafe, practical design in a complex future. 4. Fewer Credits—Civil engineers are expected to simultaneously possess greater breadthof capability and greater specialized technical competence than was required of previousgenerations—a nearly impossible challenge with fewer college credits.

convincingly justified” (Kurfiss 1988). Study after study has shown thatundergraduate students are seriously deficient in their ability to think critically (Belenky et al.1986; Bloom 1987; Keeley et al. 1982; King et al.1983). Although senior engineering studentsare better able to marshal evidence than entering students, many still believe that judgment is amatter of “individual idiosyncracies” rather than the critical evaluation of different points ofview (Welfel 1982).Students preparing for careers in science or engineering need to learn how “to draw soundinferences from observations, critically analyze and evaluate previous research, and generatenew questions or experiments” (Kurfiss 1988).

. Limiting the search to a list of sights made the lab doable and prevented much ofthe discouragement that undergraduates often have when first using the Web as a research tool.We also advise checking the listed web sites immediately before the lab period to ensure thateach one is "up" while the students work on the assignment. Having alternate sites listed is alsoa good idea.III. The Web’s Discovery RoleWeb information is often static. Dynamic information is available in the form of Java appletsand CGI scripts. One of the uses we have found for such applications is in "self-discovery" ordirected learning. We have placed these applets on-line as teaching aides. One such exampleis our "sorts illustrated" page, part of which is depicted in Figure 2

techniques; self-directed learning started to become an importantcomponent of undergraduate engineering education from freshman to senior level. In manycases, educators benefited from the open-ended nature of the capstone senior design course andimplemented self-directed learning modules to introduce students to the concept of lifelonglearning.6As the application areas of self-directed lifelong learning expanded, researchers started to lookinto the disposition, characteristics and behaviors of the self-directed learners. When examined,it was seen that the people who successfully employ lifelong learning are motivated andengaged.7 Continuous lifelong learning needs to be lifelong, life wide, voluntary and self-motivated.8 The difference between self
