Results from four “in-semester” and a cumulative self-assessment done at thefinal exam are included.IntroductionAssessment is typically used for at least one of three purposes: to improve, to inform, and toprove. Tools are available for classroom assessment as described by Angelo and Cross (1993)1and for program assessment as described by Porus and Johnson (1994)5. Interest in assessmentby engineering educators has increased significantly since adoption of ABET’s EngineeringCriteria 2000. Meeting ABET 2000 requirements is aided by course learning objectives beingclearly articulated and an outcomes-based assessment process used to ensure the learningobjectives are being met.While not as well known as other

There are many contexts forlearning communities in both formal and informal educational settings, but the common theme isthat the students are actively and collaboratively vested in their own learning, which results ingreater student engagement3. Learning communities are well-suited to contribute to the trainingand development of engineers in areas such as teamwork and communication skills, but also incollaborative design, problem solving, ethics, and an understanding of the larger context for theirwork.Undergraduate summer research programs have historically been founded on traditionalpedagogy: instructor-led seminars and faculty-directed research and problem solving, with thelatter often including an experienced graduate student or

This survey provides educators with insight to thepressures, values and any trends present among the students we encounter. The 1999 FreshmanNorms are based on the responses of over 261,000 students at 462 American two and four yearcolleges and universities and represent trends for this particular class. The report cites that thenumber of students feeling overwhelmed/stressed is at an all time high of 30.2%. One majorcontributing factor to this is the number of students who have to work part-time or full-time. Arecord high
