While thenumber of participants is small, this study was conceived as a pilot study to inform larger scaleinvestigations of professional development in engineering design. The sample in this study isobviously too small to draw many largely generalizable conclusions, however it includes everyparticipant in the workshop so I am able to draw conclusions regarding this specific workshopand group of educators.The study was focused around the workshop with three sessions, allowing for a pre-assessment,intervention, and post-assessment design.

They must form their own teams reflecting that large teams provide more resources but smaller teams achieve greater individual shares from any win.An interesting outcome on this activity is that males will tend to form small groups of2/3, females will settle on 4 members and mixed groups are generally 5/6 individuals,and to date no small all-male group has won.This activity brings together all the elements of industry specific research, businessand technology issues and are brought together in the core skills of

For example, thequestion of evaluating students’ response to an intervention is an entire focus area in EER.Validated instruments and assessment were a new research concept to me, a student coming fromsolely an EE focused background. Another issue was considering the teaching activities for alarger classroom setting.

While some may believe that this differentiatesstudents and shows growth from the first to last year in the program, it is much more than that.Students in this engineering technology program are unique from others in its composition,specifically due to the presence of a rather large, significantly ranked engineering college on thesame campus.Freshman engineering technology students can be categorized into two different groups: first,those students seeking a hands on program, rather than

, students, at best, can integrate a small fraction of the curriculum in a given projectcontext. Huber and Hutchings [9] have argued that when students pursue learning in a moreintentionally connected way then the intellectual and emotional appeal can catalyze a richerlearning climate. Further, it can be argued that traditionally the burden of integration has fallenon the students to use their wit and grit to “connect the dots” as they progress through thecurriculum [9]. Therefore, our conceptual assessment plan will revolve around the following [9]. •   Collaboration among faculty to identify key integration points in the curriculum •   Opportunities for integrated learning within and among courses and contexts •   Faculty’s approach to

for several reasons. Thedatabase of final exams is readily available. At this institution final exams from previous yearsare posted on a publicly-accessible website so that students can use them as study aids. Also,students are not able to access assistance during an exam, which means that they must rely ontheir a priori vocabulary to make sense of the questions. And as a critical assessment in a course,the exam should be testing the student’s understanding of the course concepts rather than thestudent’s non-discipline-specific vocabulary. Presumably, the instructor has taken this intoaccount when developing the exam. Finally, every exam in this program is the same duration,2.5 hours, which allows for some common basis of comparison (e.g
