For the ethics essay in particular, we wanted to evaluate if thecancer patient seminar improved the sophistication or depth of students’ response to the question,“Describe a situation in which unconscious bias may have influenced your assessment orconclusion and what measures were taken or should have been taken to avoid these biases.” Theseessays were analyzed blindly by three independent researchers on 1) the level of detail andspecificity in the description of the situation, 2) quality of analysis on the role of or the cause ofbias, 3) level of

Students who consented toparticipation in the study received a short survey which asked them to rate their ability tounderstand and complete Statics problems. The Likert Scale was used for the prompts shown inTable 3. Student responses were converted to a numerical value by assigning 1 forUnsatisfactory to 5 for Excellent. In addition, they were asked to rate their level of confidence inunderstanding what a question is asking on homework and exam problems on a scale of 0-100.The self-evaluation responses showed that on average, students were 73.4% confident in theirunderstanding, with a standard deviation

The evaluation of the pilot will achieve two fundamentalgoals. First, we will assess the extent to which the clinical immersion program may influencestudents’ development of design process and problem-solving skills, and identify features of theprogram that contributed to their learning. Second, we will gather formative and developmentalevaluation data on the program itself from the student participants, clinical mentors, and othermembers of the clinical immersion team.

Accountability- Each student’s role and performance is to be assessed, and the results are those of the group (and for the group). Keeping track of the contribution and knowledge gained by each member could be monitored, as well, by either testing each and every student in the group, or by randomly selecting a group member (or members) to be tested, and thus proxy for the group.

All four sections were taught by the sameinstructor. All course materials and assessment were kept the same for all sections except thateach section was given a different project theme. The goal is to see if the restrictions on scopeand/or materials would have any impact on student motivation. There were 140 students in totalwho consented to participate in the research study.To test different open-ended design projects with varying degree of autonomy, different projectthemes were created.

, Neisser (1967) proposed a theory where analysis ofthe visual world takes place in two stages: (1) the pre-attentive stage that segments the world into separateobjects; and (2) the focal attention stage that focuses on a particular object for more details.Discrimination-based theories consider the limit on the numbers of discriminators that can be used. As anillustrative example, Allport (1971; 1980) proposed a “system of analyzers” to decompose attributes ofstimuli. Based on this suggestion, humans are limited in dealing with several objects by the difficulty ofhandling multiple analyzers simultaneously. Finally, space-based theories suggest a limit on the spatialarea from which information can be accessed and assessed. As an illustrative example

The questions were intentionally made to be open-ended and relatively challengingfor most students.

Not every student will arrive at this level,and those that do may not rise to this level with every topic; but, when they do, it’s exciting.Students get there by facing the math head-on. They overcome the stigma that“it’s hard” and realize that it just takes preparation and a solid foundation to move ahead.Within both engineering and mathematics, critical thinking and self-assessment skills need to behoned rather than assumed that they are already developed.
