David was the recipient of the Remsburg Creativity Award for 2013 and the DeBow Freed Award for outstanding
. Some Lowman descriptor words fit into more than one category. For example,engaging is a main category. However, one must be knowledgeable about a topic in order to beengaging. So engaging appears as an example of characteristics in the knowledgeable category.Additionally, being engaging is a key component in good communication and demonstrates acommitment to teaching, so engaging is listed in those categories as well.The authors also consulted other resources providing general teaching advice to a highereducation audience, avoiding texts with specific focuses (i.e., active learning, on-line education,etc.). Svinicki and McKeachie4 separate their book into seven parts that generally correspondwith the Lowman rubric categories. Similarly, Wankat
courses; and Active Duty, Reserve and National Guard courses.To further simplify analysis, Active Duty courses were specifically chosen because theircontent generally appeared to the authors to be more uniformly developed and delivered interms of duration and content. Several paper and mail correspondence courses in the early1990s, before computerization and email, were also excluded from the final dataset. Further,commissioned officer courses were eliminated since most officers already have undergraduatedegrees, and some officer training courses are more likely to receive graduate levelrecommendations, which are beyond the scope of this study. A separate study should beconducted in the future which specifically addresses commissioned officer

A mix of seven undergraduate and graduate engineering students self-selected to be a partof the study and participated in a total of twelve focus group sessions. All students whoexpressed interest were included in the focus group and they were compensated $10 per hour fortheir time. For the focus group sessions discussed in this paper, all the participants identified asmale. Participants met for the

” – those foundational concepts you want the students to retain even 2-3 years after they complete the course. What knowledge and skills (including critical thinking) should the students master? What is worthwhile for the students to know? What are the “big ideas” underlying the topic? Stage 2: Determine Acceptable Evidence The educator determines what constitutes acceptable evidence for indicating those results have been achieved. In this approach the assessment is planned before the classroom instruction is planned. Stage 3: Plan Learning Experiences and Instruction The educator now plans the learning experiences and instruction to meet the goals.It is sometimes referred to as “backward design” because it

how the Purdue Northwest team fares, six of its graduating team membersalready have become winners by accepting job offers—two with Chrysler, one with GeneralMotors and three in non-automotive engineering capacities—in part due to their participation inthe Formula SAE venture. A 22-year-old junior who has secured a summer internship with theFord stamping plant in Chicago Heights, said. “Every time we go to a job fair and say we’re partof our school’s Formula SAE team, the employer tells us, ‘We know all about SAE.’Additionally, 15 PNW team members are applying what they have learned from their race car-building experience to complete their senior design projects. These projects focus on suchautomotive topics as aerodynamics, telemetry
