Components of an online process-based assessment testbed areidentified.Embedded Assessment of Complex SkillsEngineering education has been a leader in the novel use of computer-based instruction. Theintended use of many of the applications is to increase students’ understanding of the content andto develop their problem solving skills in a particular content area. This is consistent with recentcalls for engineering schools to increase students’ problem solving skills 1-10. However, assessingcognitively complex skills such as problem solving requires use of modern assessment methods;typical course evaluations, anecdotal instructor evaluations, and surveys of student attitude areinadequate1-4.One method being explored is the use of

The first isa Readiness Assessment Test (RAT) which tests retention of material taught in previous courses.The second is a Comprehensive Application Test (CAT) which tests students’ design abilityacross several courses. In addition, faculty panels evaluate the oral and written presentations ofthe students’ capstone design projects to determine whether teams with a higher percentage ofSooner City participants perform better than those with lower percentages.The focus of the following discussion will be on the main formative question: Is this projectworking as anticipated?

desire to developsolutions to displaced communities is more important than ever. On the one hand, there are manyways to use engineering education to promote self-reliance. On the other hand, there is a lack ofpolicies and conditions to enable educators to design engineering education programs effectivelyin these settings. In light of these constraints, existing engineering solutions often come throughinternational programs or external aid. This paper intends to examine a pedagogical framework,called localized engineering in displacement (LED), designed to provide displaced students withan opportunity to attend and earn credit for an undergraduate introductory engineering coursewithin their community and foster local capacity building

For example, Hiscox’s Mechanical Movements 2, published in 1904, containsillustrations and descriptions of 1800 mechanisms.In the second half of the 20 th century, the focus in engineering education turned towardengineering science, and practical matters were de-emphasized. Since then, mechanicalengineering education has focused on analysis of mechanisms, rather than synthesis or application.Few students today have seen let alone tinkered with real mechanisms or machines, and have littleor no understanding of how they work or where they can be applied. Analysis does not providethis insight.Few modern books contain descriptions and practical applications of common mechanisms

The students may be using Computer-Aided Draftingsystems and even 3-D geometric models, but they still learn skills of a designer/detailer and end upproducing engineering drawings that are useful only in the traditional design process.

Making use of the internet, within the context of teaching-learning issues, is no substitute for face to face meetings during office hours, in the corridor, or during an informal gathering of the instructor and the students. It is merely a resource intended to augment and enliven the classroom experience. General complaints about technical capabilities of engineering faculty are rare.

Students normally take this course during their junior year.The course objective is to provide the fundamental principles and biological applications ofmomentum, heat and mass transfer. The course has followed a traditional approach,characterized by the presentation of lectures and instructor-centered problem-solving during theclass period. The lectures normally covered material in the same sequence as it appeared in thetextbook, and the textbook topics followed the traditional taxonomy of transport phenomena.Students were generally passive during classroom sessions and student problem solving wasperformed exclusively outside the classroom
