Problem solving skill appears in many position papers and reports as an important skillneeded by new workforce. To address this challenge, educators are revising curricula to includeintegrated learning environments which encourage learners to use higher order thinking skills,and in particular, problem solving skills7. The CPET 190 Problem Solving with MATLAB, a twocredit hours course, was created in fall 2004 as a result of the continuing program improvementprocess8. It is intended to meet ABET Engineering Technology TC2K criterion 2f whichrequires that an engineering technology program must demonstrate that

The focus of this paper is the designand implementation of scoring rubric models for technical courses in two-year colleges. Themajor points of this paper include identifying common definitions of assessment, identifyingspecific observable attributes in evaluating student performance, defining and brainstormingcharacteristics that describe each attribute, and the designing and implementation of scoringrubrics for a technical course. The following steps are involved in developing scoring rubrics:defining and listing learning objectives for technical courses, identifying the specific attributesthat students should demonstrate in their performance

About 160 students enroll in the course each year, requiring the acquisitionof nearly forty design projects by the course coordinator. In an academic year about thirteenfaculty are assigned to supervise these projects. The course coordinator is responsible for thespecific assignment of a faculty advisor to a design project. Among the faculty, there has beenconsiderable discussion concerning how the faculty advisors should be assigned to project teamsand what role their technical area of expertise should play in this assignment. This role is thefocus of the paper. This paper continues with a discussion on the bearing

The first challenge is to provide students with consistent, quality feedback. Thesecond challenge is to overcome resource constraints to effectively implement communicationinstruction in the course. The third challenge is to provide students with exposure to multiplecommunication mediums and audiences. The fourth challenge is to develop techniques tomotivate students to improve their communication skills. This paper provides the techniquesused in

One section of the survey explored distance education in technical/engineeringgraphics education; as prior research suggested that changes had occurred in the instructionaltopics and practices of the field.
