The study suggests that a preparatory course for the exam would beideal [4]. Throughout the curriculum, exam familiarization materials could be used, along withfeedback on performance relating to areas of the exam for each student.To this point, papers have looked at how to directly assess SLOs, but very few have looked atwhat to do with the data collected. Most programs simplify their data collection by mapping allof the SLOs to a smaller and much less specific list of Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) andthen analyze the data more qualitatively, for example, with an 80/80 (80 percent of students

The studywill be divided in two different aspects, first: the authors will analyze the students’ perspectiveson the use of active learning techniques, through a survey-based study. Second, we will investigatethe students’ scores before and after using active learning techniques in different course modules.The study took place over Summer 2020 and 2021 and covered three different courses, with morethan 80 students participating in it.

Engineering is now “up-front” and “hands-on”,and the approach has had a noticeable, positive effect on student retention2. A major element inthis effort has been the development of a first-year engineering program with a track for honorsstudents, the Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors (FEH) sequence, a tightly coupled three-course sequence with each course lasting the full 10 weeks of an academic quarter.The first FEH course is named Engineering H191 (or ENG H191) and offers each student a solidfoundation in the fundamentals of engineering graphics and CAD.

A set of nineteenstudent analysis reports selected from a capstone design course were used as the source of thedata. The reports were assessed both before and after a tutoring session using a version of theAAC&U VALUE rubric and a voice-development-style-diction method developed by theauthors. By both methods, the improvements in student writing from before the tutoring sessionto afterwards were marginal at best, with some measures even showing a decrease inperformance.
