c Society for Engineering Education, 2019 A Multi-Instructor Study of Assessment Techniques in Engineering Mechanics Courses1. IntroductionThe authors have conducted a three-year study to explore the effects of a new assessment modelon student outcomes in a sophomore level Mechanics of Materials course. Preliminary resultsfrom the first two years were discussed previously [1]. The most recent set of results andconclusions are presented here, along with further discussion and lessons learned regarding itsimplementation. A key component of the latest phase of the study is the transition of the controlinstructor to the new method. For this instructor this paper includes a control

A studentin Fluid Mechanics commented, “I think maybe in a fluids-specific, aspect, it [the intervention]may not have been extremely relevant.” Although fluid mechanics are fundamental to hydraulicfracturing operations, students struggled to understand how the intervention connected to thecourse material. The student went on to suggest, “I think it would be a good idea to maybe havea quick discussion at the start of class how it connects to what we're going over in class.”Similarly, a student in Sustainable Energy suggested the intervention would benefit from “aprimer of some sort beforehand…[so] you have a better idea of how it

This IUSEproject, Scaling a Cyber-Enabled, Just-in-Time-Teaching with Two-Way Formative Feedback(JTF) Project from the Individual Faculty Level to the Disciplinary Department Program Level(JTFD), provides professional development for faculty members across multiple engineeringdisciplines: aerospace, biomedical, chemical, civil, construction, materials, and mechanical. Theproject promotes student-centered pedagogical practices in undergraduate engineering courses.As part of the JTFD project evaluation, a series of pre- and post-assessments and measures weretaken to better understand faculty shifts due to the professional development program.

misconceptions. These factors include (1) the unfamiliarityof the relevant education literature to many engineering educators, (2) the lack of concept inventories withgood estimates of internal consistency and validity that address core engineering areas and (3) the lack oftested educational materials in engineering similar to those that have been developed and tested inphysics. However, significant progress is happening related to each of these issues. There is awidespread and rapidly growing awareness of the benefits of active-engagement methods in engineeringeducation (Prince, 2004) and significant progress has been made in developing concept inventories forcore engineering topics (Evans, 2003; Reed-Rhoads and Imbrie, 2007; Streveler et al., 2008
