That issueworried me as I entered the teaching profession three decades ago. After a decade of writing multiple choicequestions for the Professional Engineering exam and two decades of national involvement with the ABETaccreditation process, it is time to pass some of the “tricks of the trade” along to the next generation of newfaculty members.As a starting point for this discussion, the assumption that
