The assessment methodology must be then implemented, data collected, analyzed, andinterpreted, eventually leading to improvements in the teaching/learning process. Both a top-down andbottom-up approach is necessary to realize good assessment outcomes. As a top-down approach,programs have their own assessment strategies that constantly evolve to meet the mission and goals of theuniversity, college, and department and the requirements of any formal or informal accrediting agencies.

Engineering collaboration within team settings must “movebeyond the divide and conquer” approach (commonly observed) and instead operate in a dynamicand integrative mode that resembles actual industry (Richter and Paretti 2009). In order to encourage positive team development and performance, many factors need to beevaluated from the students’ perspective when formulating and structuring team related items(Mohammed and Mathieu 2002). An industrial and organizational psychology approach to de-signing teams, team projects, and team evaluations within documented engineering educationliterature has been limitedly established (Borrego et al. 2013).

Since then, his research has evolved toward studying a different type of complex system: how students learn and become excited about engineering. In this endeavor, Dr. Coller is mostly a ”nuts & bolts” practitioner, an engineer, and an experimentalist
