It is also important to have faculty/staff on hand that are resources for keytechnologies or construction platforms providing support and answering questions.Finally, the third thread is people.

In the second and final round, these responses were arranged by majoroutcome areas and sent to participants for their feedback. They were asked to rate how likelythey were to use the indicators, and their importance in the curriculum. The focus of this paper isnot the results of this study, but the methodological processes involved in designing andadministering a Delphi survey to develop tools for learning outcomes assessment. This includesexpert selection, survey design, and analysis of expert responses. Special attention is paid to thechallenges of

Also owing to the compressed timeline, students oftenbecome myopic in pursuit of functional code and miss out on engagement with the “big picture”being presented.Feedback from students and faculty after implementation of the course indicate that theexperience was positive.

IntroductionCurrent accreditation standards require engineering programs to demonstrate not only that theirgraduates have the appropriate mathematical, scientific, and technical knowledge and skills butalso that they can function in teams1. Results of employer surveys and interviews indicate,however, that the ability to work on a team is an important skill that is lacking in many of today'sengineering graduates2,3.

The student assessment protocol is introduced in this paper.3.

Funding agencies such as the National Science Foundation and The United StatesDepartment of Education require collaboration among faculty in the STEM disciplines, collegesof Education and school districts to provide teacher professional development to increase studentachievement. These individuals work in different communities. For example, a mathematician’sdaily work differs from that of a mathematics teacher educator. These differences may makecommunication difficult because different perspectives and knowledge exist. Therefore,designing professional development that actually makes a difference on how teachers teach canbecome a challenge. Teaching is a complex activity.
