With the proposed criteria to be used for pilot visits conducted duringFall 2001, this is no longer the case. With the outcomes assessment approach, departments mustcontinuously work on verifying their performance toward attainment of their objectives. To aidin this ongoing effort, the Department of Engineering Technology at Texas Tech established the"Program Assessment Portfolio." While this is not yet fully implemented, it is expected that theportfolio will have information added to it on an ongoing basis.

necessity to teach students to look at fireprotection from human perspective, and understand the human factors that have shaped avariety of problem-solving in the field of fire protection engineering.1. Transform the idea—course designTo transform the idea into teaching practice, a new course, Human Behavior & FireProtection, was designed and attempted in the fall semester of 2016, 2017 and 2018. Thiscourse is offered to undergraduate Engineering Technology students in the Fire Scienceprogram (B.S.) in College of Engineering. This course introduces various human behaviorsduring fire emergency with a focus on interactions among fire, building, and occupants.

The RRCD framework is based on Bloom’s Taxonomy,which is an educational framework that has been used for decades by teachers from K-12 touniversity and beyond. Bloom’s Taxonomy includes six categories of thought: knowledge,comprehension, application, synthesis, evaluation, and creation [6]. In the next few paragraphs,we will use the vocabulary of Bloom’s taxonomy to outline how the RRCD framework isintended to encourage a pattern of thinking that develops ethical design skills. Additionally, wewill cover how an instructor should design RRCD questions

Cyber-Physical Systems AbstractThis paper outlines the Year 1 activities for a Research in Emerging Technologies for Teachingand Learning (RETTL) project about identifying threshold concepts in the field of cyber-physicalsystems (CPSs). Mastering threshold concepts, particularly in CPS design, leads to a transformedunderstanding of the subject and shifts students' identity within the context of the field. Given thecruciality of these concepts to a field, not just CPS, threshold concepts have been used to unpackstudent misconceptions and design the formative learning experiences necessary to master asubject's core ideas. In this project, we are developing a tabletop testbed for learning the

We first re-visit the world (the context) withinwhich disciplines arise. Particular emphasis is on the nature of experimentation. Then weconsider the modeling of the world that goes on within the disciplines. Finally we look at re-contextualization - the application of the modeled content of the disciplines within the world.This analysis leads to insights which have moment for deliberations about the

The answer was not verymuch – in fact, they found that 22% of first year engineering students had never used the library[7]. Engineering graduate students' needs tend to be quite different from their undergraduatecounterparts. Many graduate programs assume students enter the program with foundationalinformation literacy knowledge obtained during their undergraduate programs. However, this isat odds with our understanding of theory-heavy undergraduate programs. Previous research ongraduate student populations indicates that confidence in their information literacy skills is high,but this confidence may not translate into practical skills [8].

The technology beingnew, students are often misled by an incomplete understanding of the subject--understandingBIM as an acronym for 3D design, rather than appreciating BIM as a process of sharing andsimulating information. Teaching BIM as a process versus a single software package is acommon issue that may be effectively addressed through a stepped progression of smallerpackets of information spread in different courses throughout the curriculum, so called ‘verticalintegration.’ Vertical integration of curriculum supports a comprehensive understanding of asubject and the means and methods that form its core. Further, vertical integration of curriculumhelps students retain knowledge from year to year as repeated exposure to a subject
