ASSESSING PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING IN AN ENGINEERING CAPSTONE COURSE Charles McIntyre North Dakota State UniversityAbstractNorth Dakota State University (NDSU) was the recent recipient of a Bush Grant for providing supportand training for NDSU faculty. As part of that grant, the “Faculty Institute for Excellence in Learning”(FIEL) was created. The author was selected as a FIEL “Fellow” and subsequently submitted aproposal and received funding to apply a problem-based learning approach to the departmentalcapstone course. During the summer of 2001, the capstone course was revised and restructured tomeet the primary objective of the course. The basic

Using Exam Cover Sheets to Tally Course Assessment Data Julia L. Morse Kansas State University, K-State at SalinaAbstractOne of the challenges of assessment is the extra compilation work required to collect and tallyresults of an entire class only on certain aspects of student work, specific to key learningoutcomes. Entire exam grades generally represent a combination of outcomes and so do notprovide good assessment information on specific outcomes. However, sorting out statistics onstudent performance data on only specific exam questions or aspects can be tedious and time-consuming. By applying itemized grading sheets as an integral part of

The criteria’s main purpose is toensure students are learning more than the technical skills typically taught in engineeringtechnology. Many of these learning outcomes required are then applied in a culminatingexperience, or capstone course, during a student’s final semester(s) in a bachelor’s degreeprogram.

Assessing the Impact of New Teaching Methods by Predicting Student PerformanceAbstractMany teachers try new things in the classroom with the intent of making learning more effective.In most cases, assessment of the impact is anecdotal; the teacher surveys the students about thenew technique and draws conclusions based on their feedback. In order to more definitivelyprove the impact, better assessment tools are needed. In a recent study, the authors attempted topredict performance in a course and then measure the improvement due to a major change in theavailable resources for study outside the classroom in our fundamentals of engineering course.To measure the effectiveness, we used the GPA of the students at the start of the semester
