IntroductionThis paper describes randexam: a new computerized system for the generation, grading, andanalysis of randomized multiple-choice paper exams using Scantrons for student responses. In thepast three years since this technology was developed at the University of Illinois atUrbana-Champaign, it spread from the original course to a total of 12 courses. This spread isdocumented and analyzed from two different perspectives: diffusion of innovations 14 (changetheory perspective) and communities of practice 8;16;17 (education

Teamactivities can, however, present challenges to both students and instructors. In particular,students may perceive grading schemes that assign a single grade to the entire group as unfairbecause the grade does not account for the variable levels of effort and different contributions ofindividual team members1,3.For instructors, a key problem is that groups usually meet and perform the bulk of their work

Additionally, it was discovered that IRT was able todetect peripheral vascularity of cancerous tissues on other extremities. This developmentfacilitated further research into the efficacy of thermal imaging, and today it is widely recognizedas a diagnostic tool for breast and various other cancers where peripheral vascularity is observedand can be detected below the surface of the skin.Today, the use of thermal imaging has diverse applications and is highly used in medicine andhealth.

In the industrial settings in which our graduates are likelyto find themselves it is important to be able to plan and execute a quality test while workingwithin constraints which may be in place. Limitations on such factors as availableinstrumentation, constraints on operating conditions, and availability of test time all need to beconsidered when planning and executing a test. Failure to do so may squander resources andwaste the sometimes limited opportunity to make tests on machinery being used operationally inan industrial environment.Student Outcomes for Engineering Technology programs (ABET, 2017) include educatingengineering technologists with respect to experimental methods.
