Examples of subcommittees used by the CEBOK3TC include: • Literature review groups (discussed above) • Outreach to other constituencies • Studying and evaluating outcomes-based approaches • Survey development for all three surveys • Survey results processing for all three surveys • Developing the Bloom’s Affective Domain structure • Editing task groups (discussed in more detail later in this paper)These subcommittees did extensive research, writing, and/or data processing, and presented findings tothe entire CEBOK3TC. Furthermore, numerous committee members stepped up to lead thesesubcommittees and take on writing responsibilities, especially with the outcomes, including

The spring survey asks questionsthat reword the outcomes. The question corresponding to outcome 3(i), lifelong learning,for example, asks directly about plans to pursue formal study. “An appreciation for, andability to engage in, lifelong learning” may involve less formal and equally validchannels.2.1 Self-reported Achievement and Importance DataThere are several ways to analyze

While some schools at the time adopted a professional program,they were few and far between.In 1958, ASCE conducted a survey in which 66 percent of its membership favored extending thecivil engineering curricula to five years1. In 1960, the ASCE Conference on Civil EngineeringEducation addressed this subject extensively2. A group of 30 eminent civil engineeringeducators adopted the following resolution: Resolved that “the growth in universities and colleges of a pre- engineering, undergraduate, degree-eligible program for all engineers - with at least 75% -interchangeably among various engineering curricula - be followed by a professional or graduate

curve is the DC/DC converter efficiency and the x-axis is the load resistance. Students must include at least 6 data points, and the load current should be between 10 mA and 150 mA for the test. For a design to be considered successful, there should exist an optimal efficiency greater than 70%. In improving the efficiency of the designs, students should consider the parasitic elements in the inductors, transistors, etc. previously researched and select appropriate devices for their system and for power efficiency. Typical optimal efficiency is between 80% to 90% for student projects. b) After studying the efficiency of their system, students are asked to modify their boost converter circuit and

learning program sponsored by the A. James ClarkeSchool of Engineering and supported by College Park Scholars (CPS) and the Office ofUndergraduate Studies (STS, 2018). The primary goal of STS is to “give studentsanalytical skills that help connect science and technology to broader social needs” (UMDSTS, 2018) and typically serves engineering and computer science majors. The roboticsservice-learning course is an elective within the STS curriculum. The service-learning program started as a way to match STS student interests inSTEM and robotics with demand from community organizations seeking STEM relatedprogramming and outreach. Seeing an appropriate match, STS piloted a 1-credit roboticsbased service-learning practicum with a nearby public
