Because of the limited mathand science included in these classes (they have no prerequisites), they are an ideal platform fromwhich to teach non-engineers some fundamental engineering concepts and to make engineering amore known and less feared subject. In particular, these courses have been very popular amongpre-service teachers. In typical teacher education programs across the nation, the science contentis pitifully small, often less than one-third of one class. There is no engineering content. Yetthese are the people who are going out to teach the next generation of students; the danger is thatthese teachers may have a hand in perpetrating these math

A vertically integrated learning environment provides laboratory experiencesthat allow students to build upon earlier laboratory work by studying different facets ofthe same experimental set-ups in multiple engineering laboratories.

Results from four “in-semester” and a cumulative self-assessment done at thefinal exam are included.IntroductionAssessment is typically used for at least one of three purposes: to improve, to inform, and toprove. Tools are available for classroom assessment as described by Angelo and Cross (1993)1and for program assessment as described by Porus and Johnson (1994)5. Interest in assessmentby engineering educators has increased significantly since adoption of ABET’s EngineeringCriteria 2000. Meeting ABET 2000 requirements is aided by course learning objectives beingclearly articulated and an outcomes-based assessment process used to ensure the learningobjectives are being met.While not as well known as other
