Fitzgerald 6 providesan introduction to the use of cases in engineering, and Richards et. al. 7 review the use of casesand the case method in business and engineering education. Engineering cases typically addresstopics in design, ethics, and entrepreneurship.Students study the case materials, seek to understand the problem or situation, and identify theoptions available to various participants. This may be done individually or in teams. Often,individual study and preparation are followed by informal small group discussion.

By this means, with less effort than maintaining awritten grade book, it is possible to evaluate the degree of comprehension the class has regardingany area of the subject matter being tested. It is also a straightforward matter to determine whichquestions have “worked” on a test and which have failed to evaluate the level of knowledge ofthe students. The development of a grading curve can be shown with every graded assignment sothat the teacher always knows the degree of challenge to program into the next test orassignment. By apprising students of their standing at key points in the quarter,misunderstandings of grades and

loadrefers to the number of interconnected ideas which are required to learn a new schema. Poorinstructional design can impose extraneous cognitive load, in which the instructional techniqueunnecessarily increases the number of interconnected ideas, making a schema harder to acquire.When intrinsic load is low, the additional extraneous loading has little effect on learning. However,high intrinsic loading combined with extraneous loading hinders learning. Therefore, instructorsshould strive to reduce extraneous load produced by their presentation of the material to improvestudent learning.

Our work was embedded within auniversity wide initiative that engaged with gender and also with mechanisms to support womendirectly. However, Dialogues itself focused on gendered climate, and particularly on supportingthe types of climates that would appeal to underrepresented faculty, thus it did not explicitlyengage with information about gender or about women.
