Comparing learningexperiences of students solving YouTube versus Textbook problems is the focus of the currentstudy. Impacts of solving YouTube problems are examined based on perception of difficulty aswell as students’ problem-solving skills displayed by students. To enable testing, students wereassigned one textbook and three YouTube problems. Perception of problem difficulty acrossproblems was examined using the NASA Task Load Index. Additionally, problem solvingaptitudes while solving homework problems was assessed using a previously validated rubriccalled PROCESS: Problem

Some methods have includedweekly quizzes as opposed to larger exams, oral discussion exams instead of written tests, andreplacing exams with larger projects. The efforts being made to broaden potential approaches toevaluation may have short-term benefits to provide workable assessment tools for the currentenvironment, but will also provide insight into the effectiveness of each approach to beconsidered when regular in-person instruction begins again.At

“Conceptual Fluency Approach.” As far as we know, this style of assessment approach has onlybeen tried in the introductory mechanics courses at Michigan State University [1], thus theassessments were adapted to accommodate learning goals of an introductory thermodynamicscourse, which remained unchanged. This work also builds on other prior work in the area ofthermodynamics instruction that has illuminated areas of conceptual difficulty and retention ofconcepts [2]-[7].If successful, the Conceptual Fluency Approach achieves greater “fluency” in fundamentalthermodynamics concepts and long-term retention of these concepts for future courses, such asheat transfer or fluid mechanics. Part of achieving this fluency is assessing students in a way

Sketch creativity was assessed by three instructors using a creativityrubric adapted from literature. The sketch creativity scores, along with individual studentacademic and course performance data, were analyzed using standard least squares regressionand machine learning techniques to investigate the effect of sketching on creativity andunderstanding of course material. An anonymous and optional survey was also provided to atotal of 56 students, with 21 students responding (37.5%).

Thisinternal self-assessment indicated that the condition of the labs and their adequacy for instructionranged from poor to good. These findings led to a revamping of the College of EngineeringOutcomes & Objectives (O&O’s)2, and made the allocation of funds for facility improvement ahigher priority.From the Fall of 2001 to the present a number of events have aligned to enable our facilitiesdevelopment; including the

Of course, participation alone is not likely to indicate whetherengineering graduates are likely to be effective entrepreneurs either in starting their ownventures or being change agents (or intrapreneurs) in existing organizations. Thisrequires that we go deeper into the attributes that are acquired in professional preparation.Most of the work on more rigorously measuring outcomes seems to be on the courselevel, rather than overall programs or centers.
