Themeaning of “inquiry-based” has many slightly different definitions [8], all of which share the keycharacteristic that students pose and answer questions through physical experience and directobservation rather than by listening to lecture or following a highly prescribed laboratoryprocedure. In this work, we define inquiry-based learning to be that which incorporates thedefining features shown in Table 1 [6].

the 32 plots shown in Figures 1-4 have a negative skewness value. Acrossall of the plots in Figures 1-4, the average skewness value is -0.65. The skew of the distributionscan also be observed by comparing the mean and median values in Tables 2-5. In most cases, themedian values are larger than the mean values. Because of this, the data cannot be assumed tofollow a normal distribution, and thus standard parametric tests (e.g. t-tests) are not valid tests fordetecting statistically significant differences between the distributions. In the following section,the non-parametric statistical methods for comparing the distributions will be described. a. b

This enables ENGAGE teachers todesign their curricula in a way that provides appropriate scaffolding for students’ learning.Individual student performance is monitored, and, when necessary, students are referred to acounsellor or adviser for support.ResultsA survey was administered to all ENGAGE students at the end of their first year on theprogram.

Introduction: Outcomes-based education in engineering educationThe rapid societal and technological changes of the last decade have resulted in a sustainedtransformation of engineering work and the engineering profession. Engineering graduates todayare expected to be equipped with a whole set of new technical abilities as well as an awareness ofthe social and environmental implications of engineering work. In many countries thesepressures have led to reforms of the engineering education system in an attempt to better equipstudents for the changed and changing
