account for 65% grade. In such cases, students would treatthe portfolio seriously as a class assignment and spend more effort to create it.Comparing the Benefits and Drawbacks of Portfolio AssignmentsWhen students were required to include most of their work into the portfolio, an obvious benefitof creating the portfolios is for students to archive and review their work. This benefit wasmentioned in several studies. For example, students in Upchurch et al.’s study8 thought one ofthe main benefits of creating a portfolio was to archive assignments and to be able to review theirwork. Knott14 reported that students saw being able to keep a record of achievements and jobexperience as one major advantage of creating a portfolio. Heinricher11 reported

This “closes the loop”and fosters “teaching-for-learning.”The syllabus outlined formative assessment measures to answer a variety of questions.For example, what strategy would be most effective for helping students learn a specificconcept in your discipline? How will you know? Have others had success with specificmethods? If so, under what conditions? With what kinds of students? What researchexists to demonstrate these results? What assessment technique/s would help you knowthat your students understand the concepts? What worked? What didn't? What revisionsare appropriate? How successful was the re-design? What questions

thecommissions are “enabled and appointed by the Board.” ASCE was unconvinced by thisargument, because the issue at hand was about establishing policies and procedures, notconducting accreditation activities.At the meeting, ASCE’s Board members went forward with their two planned motions regardingapproval authority for the APPM, and both were approved. From ASCE’s perspective, thisdecision affirmed the Board’s sole responsibility for approving ABET policies and procedures.Program NamingWithout question, the most complex and controversial accreditation policy issue faced by theASCE task committee has been program naming. At the heart of this issue is paragraphII.E.4.c.(2) of the APPM: “If a program name implies specialization(s) for which ProgramCriteria

For the pilot course, students were required to scope an Engineering GrandChallenge(s), to reduce it to a manageable project, then to develop design requirements.Several of the module instructors created teams using the Comprehensive Assessment for Team-Member Effectiveness (CATME) TeamMaker tool.7 As stated, teams were guided in a four-week exercise to scope a project that applies the engineering discipline to a specific GrandChallenge, including some basic calculations for feasibility, cost estimates, and preliminarydesign requirements.
