Assessing Critical Thinking in Mechanics in Engineering Education Chris Papadopoulos1, Adeeb Rahman2, and Josh Bostwick3 Typically, mechanics education in engineering schools focuses on communicating explicit content to students, but deemphasizes the critical thought that underlies the discipline of mechanics. We give examples of the failure of students to apply basic principles of mechanics in solving problems. We develop assessment tools to measure critical thinking in student work, and how well mechanics textbooks engage students in critical analysis. Both tools focus on the treatment of three criteria that we judge to be fundamental, but which are commonly overlooked or

The technical assessment aligns with ABET Student Outcome 6 bysplitting the outcome into six sub-outcomes and assessing each on a rubric for student projectreports. This method allows each sub-outcome to be measured, evaluated, and reported. Afterthree semesters, all student teams were performing at or above minimal level, but more study

While Student Outcome d focused more onindividual student performance on a team and could be suitably assessed with peer evaluation,Student Outcome 5 focuses on the performance of the team as a whole as well as individualperformance. As a result, an assessment tool that addresses each of the sub-outcomes has beencreated and implemented, allowing for greater distinction of strengths and weaknesses within ateam.

Thispaper describes a two-semester course sequence, jointly taught by faculty in engineering andentrepreneurial studies, that integrates engineering design and business development. Courseoutcomes are defined based on research that established four performance areas addressingstudent and solution development in capstone design courses: personal capacity, team processes,solution requirements, and solution assets. Performance criteria for each area establishdefinitions of desired student achievement in each area and form the basis for assessment ofoutcomes for the

Thecase studies were also included in multiple elective courses of various subdisciplines such ashydraulics, structural, geotechnical, and transportation offered in the second, third, and fourthyears. This was able to provide continuity in ethics education across the curriculum. The resultsfrom the assessment showed that ethics was incorporated successfully into the CE curriculum atthe University of Portland (UP) and the students were able to learn about ethics in at least onecourse every year.A study by Carpenter [4] has discussed a case study that considers the pollution of a river byindustrial discharge from a company manufacturing a
