theindividual scores for each year’s presentations.Presentations were selected for analysis based on two criteria. First, we selected to ensure likewas compared to like. To do this, we created two grading silos: (a) Average performing students,and (b) Low performing students. This was done to eliminate the bias that might result fromcomparing high performing teams from one year to low performing teams in another. We basedour silos’ grade range on the University’s transcript guide and the course’s historical average. Apresentation was deemed to belong to the average performing silo if it received a B (between73% and 76%). Likewise, a low performing presentation scored a C (between 63% and 66%).Second, we selected for distinct evaluators for the

(The CPC added an additional category “Y” forcross-referencing purposes.) These sections are divided into a hierarchical classification systemwhich has further lower levels. When classifying an invention four specific areas of inventionare considered: 1) the invention’s intrinsic nature or function; 2) the invention’s particular use orpurpose; 3) the invention’s application; 4) the incorporation of an invention into

It was also important that the engineering teamtook this information seriously and used it to formulate the final results.At the conclusion of the semester, the engineering student team gave a presentation for anyinterested staff in the library. The PowerPoint they used included drawings of the currentconfiguration of Technical Services as well as two potential new layouts (see Appendix B). Italso included pictures of new desk and chair options as well as suggestions as to how thefurniture could be configured. The presentation was well-attended and well-received.

A surveywas distributed to the so-identified library representative of each institution, using the Qualtricssurvey program (see Appendix B).
