All core and elective courses were assessed forgaps, redundancies, and bottlenecks, and the curriculum was redesigned – except one non-lecture-based or lab-based course, namely the high-impact engineering course required byTAMU’s College of Engineering. The learning outcomes are stated as: “Upon successfulcompletion of this course, students will be able to (a) reflect on professional outcomes from theengineering body of knowledge and (b) assess learning experiences.” The intent of high-impactcourses is to ensure that students have the opportunity outside the formal classroom setting todevelop essential and professional skills such as communication, problem-solving, organization

In this study, we use Social Cognitive Career Theory(SCCT) framework and Identity Development framework to investigate whether theserelationships differ between (a) students who entered as first-year students with the prerequisitesto immediately begin taking engineering course work (on-track students) or (b) students whowere delayed in beginning their engineering coursework (off-track students).

However, each participant wasexpected to produce several distinct records: one response for each survey, an online submissioncovering both problems, and their scratch work. All of these documents needed to be associatedwith the participant that created them. To accomplish this, a double letter code system wascreated. The first letter of the code, either A or B, indicated whether the participant was in thecontrol (A) or experimental (B) group. This distinction was not explained to the participants.

engineers do. These questions were crafted as the authors had previously observed thatmiddle school students abandoned the idea of becoming an engineer either because of lack ofself-confidence in succeeding as an engineer or lack of understanding of what engineers do (e.g.,more than build bridges, make cars, and work at chemical plants). The survey began with a set ofLikert-type statements to determine students’ interest and self-efficacy in engineering with thechoices: yes, a lot; yes, a little bit; not sure; probably not; and no way (see Appendix B). Thenext question was open-ended and directed students to list as many types of engineering as theycould. The last question consisted of a list of 14 things and instructed students to answer

capstone designcourses starting in 2016. No other concern, weakness or deficiency was raised about thedepartment ABET assessment in the 2015 ABET review. When the 2021 ABET reviewoccurred, a weakness was assigned for our program in Criterion 4: continuous improvement.The weakness was attributable to (a) faculty not assessing all elements of certain studentoutcomes (SOs), (b) inconsistency in which aspect of SOs were assessed by different instructorsteaching two different sections of the same course, and (c) faculty averaging their assessmentscores in an ad-hoc manner. ABET determined that the department assessment results did notrepresent a systematic assessment process that was applied in a consistent manner throughout theprogram.The new
faculty expressed and interest to expand their educational efforts in this area, but do nothave a clear understanding of how to do so. This paper attempts to document some of those keyelements in the efforts to create, organize and carry out the work efforts required for thesuccessful implementation of this Li-ion cell assembly, testing and characterization effort.2) Background: Between 1976 and 1986, John B. Goodenough developed the theoretical basis and basicoperational characteristics of a Li-ion battery. Later in the 1980s, he comprehensively developedthe Li-ion battery [2]. Li-ion battery technology was quickly embraced and in 1991 Sony Co.employed the first Li-ion battery system in a commercial product [3]. Since the early 2000

For Report#1 and Report#2, only questions from the relevant sections inAppendix A are asked. In addition to the peer review questionnaire, students also give an initialgrade of the report according to the rubric in Appendix B. The ‘peer-review questionnaire’ servesas the primary guiding tool for the peer-review process. The questions are inspired mainly by thework done by Smith [10] but tailored to the course content and to the Engineering Physics students.The questions link the abstract and subjective standard, such as ‘the objective of the lab is clearlyidentified’ to executable objective evaluation action like ‘paraphrase the
