changed successive offerings of the new course.Finally, students were selected for one-on-one interviews to describe their experiences withcourse evaluations or their perceptions of what a course evaluation is used for in the case offreshman that have never completed a course evaluation. These interviews specifically probedthe issue of what students think faculty do with their course evaluations, and to gather primarydata on what students think are the pros and cons of the existing online course evaluation system.SurveyMonkey.com ® was used was to electronically distribute the survey to students andfaculty. The response data was exported from SurveyMonkey and imported into Microsoft Excel®, where it was treated as ordinal data and analyzed

background outside of engineeringand teaches ethics to computer science and biomedical engineering students noted, the problem is that at least at my institution, this is an R1, most of these faculty have never been in industry so maybe the ethical issue they’ve faced is running a lab…. But by in large, most of them have no experience in industry to be able to talk about the kinds of things that most of our students are going to experience because they’re going into industry so that’s a problem from the get-go.Without experience of their own, engineering educators can have difficulty contextualizingethical and social concerns and not feel comfortable covering issues that students willencounter in practice. Furthermore, for many engineering

of the NJIT Enterprise Development Center(EDC), which is the largest and oldest business incubator in the United States. Each of theincubator’s tenants benefits from university-related services supportive of new business growth.In particular, the EDC is a prime example of the recent trend among many American universitiesto facilitate the technology transfer of ideas originating not so much from its own faculty as fromscientists, engineers and researchers who are unaffiliated with the host university. To maximizethe potential for success of all tenants and to overcome growth gaps typical of start-ups, the EDCmanagement team provides tenants with an array of support services. These include: (1) trainingin state, federal, commercial and private

implementationcosts and multiple advantages for both students and faculty. Along with the obvious benefit ofdeveloping team problem solving and discussion skills, students receive fast feedback on theirperformance, the instructor spends less time reviewing the exam (in class and with individuals),and the classroom environment benefits from the added value placed on collaboration andreciprocal learning. This paper describes a number of variations on the team testing idea anddiscusses how factors in the course affect the type of team test to develop.In a team test, the students complete an individual test paper as well as a group test paper. Theindividual component enforces individual accountability and allows the instructor to askquestions in formats that do

skill. One other very important practical difficulty occurs due tothis linear learning process. The time gap between when a concept is learned and when thelearner gets to use it is so long that the learner forgets a lot of the material and therefore is unableto connect the learned material with its application.Review of recent publications that have discussed the need for a new paradigm in education, andespecially STEM education, provides some guidelines of what needs to change. In 2015, theWorld Economic Forum published a report on the pressing issue of 21st-century skills gap andways to address it through technology (New Vision for Education: Unlocking the Potential ofTechnology). In this report, the authors defined a set of 16 crucial

the standalone technical communication courses in the Departments ofChemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Civil and Environmental Engineering at theUniversity of Texas at Austin [3]. Finally, rather than using a standalone course to teach writing,a number of engineering departments try to interweave the teaching of writing into a sequence ofengineering courses. Such a course sequence occurs with two upper-level laboratory courses inthe Mechanical Engineering Department of Virginia Tech [4]. However, with recent increases in engineering undergraduate enrollments [5], many suchcourses are stretched. Faculty are asked to teach greater loads, often without additional resources.One such example is Pennsylvania State University
