Assessing Team Effectiveness P.K. Imbr ie, Susan J . Maller , and J ason C. Immekus Pur due Univer sity, West Lafayette, IndianaAbstr act The continuation of the technology explosion of the second half of the 20th centuryrequires the availability of a diverse and highly capable technical workforce. Current teachingpedagogies rely heavily on students collaborating, either informally or formally, in a team-likeenvironment. Unfortunately, even with the increased emphasis on the use of student teams inacademia there has been little-to-no effort to develop quantitative instruments to measure howsuccessful the teaming experience is for participating students

Session 2613 Closing the Assessment Loop Joseph A. Shaeiwitz West Virginia University One of the purposes for having an outcomes assessment plan is continuous programimprovement. An outcomes assessment plan has goals, measures, and feedback. Continuousprogram improvement can only be accomplished if the results obtained from the measures ofachievement of the goals affect the education program. This is analogous to feedback control inwhich a measurement is compared to the set point (goals) and an adjustment is made upstream(within the program) to
