process. Currently, the best metric for communicating studentlearning is their performance on major individual assessments within the courses. At theengineering department under consideration, a standard set of course assessments consists ofthree tests and a final examination. While test content changes each semester and the gradingvaries based on course instructor, final examinations are closely guarded and held constant inorder to obtain consistent data across academic years and observe trends.Table 1 presents the assessment scores for students in the four courses considered in this paper.Courses “A” and “B” occurred during the fall semester of the 2019 academic year, while courses“C” and “D” occurred during the spring semester.

from the university’s Institutional Board Review (IRB) was obtained for the procedures to be followed in the experiment. An online and classroom section of each subject was created. Students were enrolled in these sections based on their preference and course schedule for the semester ensuring approximately the same number of students in each of the two learning environments for each of the two courses. A brief survey was conducted in the two Thermodynamics sections to gain some insight into why students enrolled in the online or onsite section. Onsite students enrolled in the classroom section due to two main reasons: (a) many believed they would learn better in a traditional classroom environment (b) many were

Theparticipants were asked to study how the object in the top line of the question was rotated andthen determine how the object shown in the middle line will appear when rotated in exactly thesame way. Finally, they had to select the representation that looks like the object rotated in thecorrect position from five alternative drawings (A, B, C, D or E) given. In this sample problem,A, B, D and E are wrong; only C looks like the object rotated according to the given rotation

The success of these changes has beenevidenced by higher pass rates for similar entering cohorts of students, and also by increasedunderstanding through the duration of the course.AcknowledgementsThe authors acknowledge the assistance received from Student Administration at theUniversity of Auckland to access the data used for NCEA and CIE analysis.

One situation noticed byboth faculty and students was the tendency for students to cluster around the professor creating asituation similar to a wall-less office: “I believe that when the office hours were done in theideation space

2005 through 2015 isestimated at nearly 3,000 students.The data collection will start by studying the course enrollment and success rates for a subset ofgateway courses at UAHuntsville to measure the probabilities of successful completion (earningan A, B, or C), unsuccessful completion (earning a D or F), and withdrawal for students given atheir individual sets of characteristics and factors. The gateway class sizes at UAHuntsville aresizeable enough to provide an extensive set of records over the anticipated 10 year period. Forexample, during the 2011-2012 academic year student enrollment figures for the Calculus A – Csequence were 608, 486, and 483 students, respectively. Similarly, the total 2011-2012enrollment for the Physics 1 and 2

The six additional measures examined from our survey include (a) one’sown description of his or her position as engineering or non-engineering, (b) self-identificationas an engineer (irrespective of current position), (c) engineering degree-job relatedness, (d)importance ratings of engineering competencies to their current work, (e) engineering degreeattainment, and (f) future plans to pursue engineering work. We examine identity and theimportance that graduates assigned to engineering competencies based on findings showing thatnearly three in four engineering graduates not working in an engineering field still

regard, a two-stepapproach is developed. In the first step, an output oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) hasbeen utilized to evaluate and rank the accepted applicants depending on various criteria; forexample, GRE and TOEFL scores, GPA, number of below-B grades in the Bachelor of Sciencetranscripts, and other parameters. Following this, an additional ranking algorithm is implementedand run to determine the degree of success among the same set of accepted students, following theirprogress in the program till they graduate.The results of the two ranking algorithms are then compared to validate the appropriateness of theselection criteria. A case study is included to demonstrate the steps and applicability of the proposedDEA approach
