higher education are identifying the vitiating effects of neoliberalism in education as abusiness mindset dominates and minimizes the loftier goals of higher education. If we want toforestall that continued progression, the engineering education community will need to be moreconscientious about the impacts that these shifts are having on students, faculty, departments,and colleges.Of course, as alluded to with the mention of societal trends, this is more than just themaneuvering of university administrators or private corporations. This is a perennial struggleover institutional ideals and existential purpose. It is a societal shift that has continued sinceneoliberalism gained traction in the 1970s following the stagflation in the Western world

Results show that the correlation between student KS scores and their grades on each ofthe three unit exams in the course improves with each successive cycle of performance andfeedback. We also examined the self-assessment ability of the student cohort by upper and lowerhalves of cumulative GPA, measured as of the semester prior to taking Fundamental Hydraulics.These data show that students in the upper half by GPA maintained consistent self-assessmentaccuracy through the three exams while students in the lower half by GPA improved their self-assessment accuracy by the third exam.

In fact, retesting is a key component of bothKeller’s [2] and Bloom’s [3] methods of instruction, and through many research studies retestinghas been shown to be an effective learning tool.Bostow and O’Connor [4] divided their educational psychology class into two groups of students(N1=20, N2=21); the remedial group was allowed to retake the weekly quizzes, and the non-remedial group was not. The pre-test scores of the two groups were comparable, and nosignificant difference was found between the mean scores of the groups on the initial quizattempts. For those

The skill sets acquired by a cohort of sixty students during freshmen Designand Engineering did not manifest well in the project exercises undertaken independently by themin the senior year Group Project, though they had excelled in the training provided for thetransferability aspect through the course Design and Engineering.

Instructors should alert students about cross-disciplinary courseactivities before the semester begins to ensure they can devote the necessary time andcommitment to the team project [10].The collaborating instructors must model effective team collaboration for their students. It isvital for the instructors to put in extra time teaching each other about their disciplines,developing and refining course structure, and monitoring the student experience throughout thecourse [7, 8, 11, 12]. Clear communication of their individual course objectives during theplanning and implementation phases ensures both instructors achieve their learning goals [10].This paper describes the experience of

theattention that SET garners. Peer review has been proposed as a possibility for both formative andsummative assessment,12,13 in part because fellow faculty members are often able to evaluate aninstructor in ways that students are not able (for example, the instructor’s familiarity with thecourse material and whether the course is meeting its curricular goals). However, such evaluationprograms require a fair amount of planning and discussion amongst the faculty. One of thegreatest challenges is that all faculty do not hold identical views about what effective teaching is,leading to potential conflicts in assessment.Another alternative to SET is classroom observations by a so-called “expert,” frequently anadministrator or member of a Center for

Other instructors have incorporatedMyers-Briggs or similar personality assessment exercises into their capstone design courses tohelp improve team communication and performance.3,4 We decided to use a similar (but simpler)approach whereby the students assess their own "communication styles," which are basedprimarily on the degree to which the individual is assertive and outgoing.5,6 Under this approach,a student assesses his or her communication style by completing a short self-assessment survey,which takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

Such quizzes have beenshown to improve students’ scores on future assessments of the same material when the quizzeswere administered a few days after reading the material [32]-[34]. This continual retrieval ofcourse material helps with long term retention [35], and these types of quizzes can also helpreview previous material while providing guidance for a student if they have not mastered a topicand need additional help [36]. Another common use of in-class pre- and post-quizzes throughouta semester is to strategically measure gains in knowledge in the class.
