terms ofthe cognitive and affective development of the student3. The main method used to assess astudent’s knowledge is through examination under a controlled environment. Assessment inengineering courses often boils down to seeing if the student can apply mathematical andphysical principles to solve a given problem. This method of grading students is retained in thispaper.Consistency in class coverage, rigor and assessment from semester-to-semester, regardless of theinstructor, is critical to consistent preparation of students for careers in engineering. As such thisis often demonstrated in the ABET accreditation process4. Abnormalities in grade distributionsare often an indicator that the preparation of students is being affected by the

More recently, pure discovery learning hasbeen called into question13-15. It appears that guided learning certainly works best, and in novice learners,observing worked examples actually works best15-16. It may not be clear whether our students are novicesor not, but providing students with PPR media, including worked examples and other content, along withtheir own problem-solving, should help students with a wide range of preparation.Concept InventoriesThe concept inventory was initially developed to assess gains made by beginning physics students inmechanics in the inventory called the Force Concept

Assessment of the trajectory isaccomplished through an evaluation of the textbooks associated with each course and accountsfor degree to which the subject relies on the pre-requisite knowledge and the level of re-instruction included within the text. This map of the content and skill trajectories permits theevaluation of a program of study/curriculum to identify critical points for the addition ofremedial efforts and for instructional emphasis. It also provides a framework for assessingstudent capability and growth in these core content and skill areas and, from a larger vantagepoint, provides tools for examining curricular coherence.Introduction

These challenges are more pronounced in somecourses than the others. In some courses, exams are not sufficient to gage student knowledgeand educational experience.

Theassessment is “ongoing”, in part, because the new curriculum has been evolving with time.Also, and more importantly, as this curriculum is one of the first of its kind, our somewhatunique assessment requirements necessitate development of new tools as we go. Specifically,it is critical that our curriculum be evaluated not only for its effectiveness in enhancing theability of students to engage in systems thinking (knowledge integration), but also to specifi-cally assess the impact of this type of curriculum on students’ performance in conceptualizing(chemical) engineering
