Session 3649 Improving Retention in a Thermodynamics Curriculum Maurice Bluestein and Pete Hylton Indiana University – Purdue University IndianapolisAbstract Much attention is now being paid to assessment of learning in engineering technology.Current techniques usually focus on the individual course to see if desired outcomes have beenmet. These methods typically ignore the question of whether the student has retained theinformation and can recall it at a later date. The establishment of a prerequisite for a given courseassumes retention based on the student’s grade in the

the second module to test, δ2 we apply these posterior probabilities in (2) to obtain p A′ (1 − α A ) p B′ (1 − α B ) pC′ (1 − α C ) pD′ (1 − α D ) = .082, = .014, = .123, = .055 tA tB tC tDand thus select δ2 = C . After testing C, if it is not found to be defective then the posteriorprobabilities computed at this stage become the prior probabilities, i.e. set pi = pi′ , fori=A,B,C,D, and new posterior probabilities are updated using (1), from which it follows thatδ = B, C, A, D, D,... and the process is continued until the defective module is found.Related IE Curriculum Topics
