Page 12.421.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2007 Creativity and Innovation: Core Capabilities for 6 – 12 Engineering TeachersPostsecondary engineering programs seek students that are prepared, capable,diverse, and informed about the creative field known as engineering. In order toachieve these goals, it is critical that the education of 6 – 12 engineering teachersbe “reengineered” to reflect the
engineering education research. Further, there are calls for engineering educationto become both more inter-disciplinary2 and rigorous3.Item Response Theory4,5,6,7 (IRT) is commonly used by psychologists in survey design andanalysis; effectively “learning the language” opens a conduit for collaboration and dissemination.IRT is therefore useful to place in the engineering education researcher’s toolbelt. Themathematical advantages of IRT enhance rigor with procedures to track characteristics of boththe test and examinees across such variables as time, gender, major, etc.This article first describes item response theory from a theoretical perspective, describing thecommon models for dichotomous (those scored ‘correct’ or ‘incorrect’) items and

This process allows the student tofirst wrestle with the concept at their own pace in a homework assignment where theycan collaborate with others before being asked to test their skills within a timed eventsuch as an exam. Learning by doing is the primary basis behind the growth of project-based learning (PBL) opportunities.5 Some programs have been completely sold on theconcept to the point of desiring PBL for all learning activities within the program.6,7These collaborative, team design experiences allow even deeper understanding throughgroup work focused on a project.
