Engineering Education, 2011 Just-in-time Daily Quizzes as a Learning Tool for Self Assessment and Content MasteryAbstractIn order to facilitate student learning, daily quizzes with a novel grading scheme have beendeveloped to aid students in doing self-assessment on their learning progress and comprehension.The quizzes and the related grading structure and usage were constructed to provide quick andspecific feedback on comprehension and mastery of technical material under the supposition thatstudents will be better able to learn if they are provided with quick and specific feedback of whatthey do and do not know after they have immediately struggled to solve problems. The unusualgrading approach has been adapted in

American Society for Engineering Education, 2011   The Effect of Skewed Gender Composition on Student Participation in Undergraduate Engineering Project Teams  AbstractIn the United States only about one quarter of all undergraduate students in engineering arefemale. Because there are significantly fewer female than male engineering students, thecomposition of small groups of engineering students assigned to complete group projects islikely to be skewed towards male-dominant membership. The underrepresentation of womenboth in the field of engineering generally, and in engineering group project teams specifically,can leave women vulnerable to stereotype threat, experiencing concern
