The survey found that LGBTQ+ graduate students felt the engineering school was lessaccepting (p < 0.05), that they were rewarded less for their work (p < 0.05), and were less trustingof the engineering school administration (p < 0.005) than their straight counterpart.

However, without an easy way to give students points for following an incrementaldevelopment process, students often write large blocks of code and then "hope it works". Theymay also rush through the development process. Today, many environments capture everystudent program run, which opens

Underlying thesechallenges is the realization that student development in these areas is likely to encompass allthree commonly accepted domains of development; the cognitive, affective, and psychomotordomains. Furthermore, such technologies are advancing at a rate faster than the faculty candevelop the skills required to teach to the students. As such, by the time faculty developsufficient knowledge, appreciation and physical skills to use the technologies, the technologieshave advanced to the next level. This paper will discuss how the Civil Engineering program atthe United States Military Academy has met these challenges, assessed them, and appliedsolutions.IntroductionThe

Many papers discuss cases of how their institutesimplemented CI for their own curricula and the type of tools and artifacts used [6], [23]–[25],and there is a line of research focused on the type and evaluation of metrics required forcurricular CI [26].Most curriculum CI models are an extension or variation of Deming’s PDCA with an adapted setof acronyms such as Data Collection-Analysis-Review-Action [21], 5-Step-Assessment [27],Gather-Read

Developing effective assessments is not easy in general (e.g.,Garfield & Gal, 2007), and doing so outside of one’s disciplinary specialty (e.g., mechanicalengineering faculty designing a systems engineering assessment) is even more challenging.Thus, a high-level goal of the current effort is to create, test, and refine a standardizedassessment for ST/SE that can be disseminated for faculty to use as part of their

In engineering programs, self-drive and motivation israrely mentioned as a desired outcome nor assessed and therefore is not developed consistentlyin all students.Students benefit from both formative and summative assessment. Formative assessment,providing feedback to guide improvement, enables students to adjust their learning based onunderstanding of their strengths and weaknesses. Summative assessment, measuringachievement, enables students to know how they have advanced in learning and how theirachievements compare to expectations [5]. High quality assessment must have clear purpose,clear targets, methods that match the targets and purpose, sound sampling, and absence of bias[6

While none of these strategiesare de facto problematic, regional university academic programs with a heterogeneous studentprofile are much more sensitive to the trade-offs of leveraging. Acknowledging these institutionaldifferences is essential for developing strategies to ensure degree program accountability.Academic Profile of Engineering StudentsThe primary discernable difference is the academic profile of students.
