. In each class, halfof the students completed Part 1 on paper and Part 2 on the computer, while the other half ofstudents did the reverse. Part 3 of each examination can be considered as the remaining 50-60%of each test and was completed in the same mode for both versions (A and B). Most of Part 3was completed on paper; however, some questions required the use of a computer. The resultsfrom Part 3 were not considered in this test mode study. The test breakdown is representedschematically in Figure 1, and represents the same structure of all three examinations used in thisstudy.Question phrasing and order on the same part (1 or 2) were identical, regardless of testing mode.The paper portions were created to be as aesthetically similar as
team project experiences. These student-based assessments can be used in defining student performance grades for the project if desired.The Peer Evaluation Template can be easily adapted for use in an industrial or business setting tohelp project managers motivate team members to enhance project outcomes through increasedinvolvement in team activities, while simultaneously improving team dynamics andcommunication with team members and other stakeholders.References1.

Cumulative results for the five years (column labeled “Total”) indicate that thelargest increase in the number of students' intended major is in Civil Engineering (+2), followedby Electrical Engineering (+6), and Mechanical Engineering (+4). The largest decrease is inEngineering (-19), followed by Undecided (-6). The large decrease in the number of studentswho initially declared a “general” Engineering major shows that after participating in SEI, thesestudents have been able to identify a specific engineering field of interest to them. These resultsalso indicate that after participating in the program and gaining an understanding of the

The team members will be selected from academia, industry, business, and community. Theexternal and internal evaluation and assessment team will be also a part of this advisory team. The short-term assessment and evaluation report will include: (a) students’ grades and progress towards their degrees; (b) students’ progress in their learning of computer technology; and (c) students’ attendance and participation in the project’s academic enhancement activities.Students will evaluate all program activities regarding the relevance and presentation of information,pointing out the program’s strengths

An anonymous end-of-lab survey wasdeveloped and administrated. The survey results were favorable and the students appeared to beready to embrace the new powerful EV3s. The improved features in both hardware and softwarewith EV3 make upgrading the related lab a more promising idea. More advanced labs will bepossible thanks to the improved hardware features, but the required third-party support is stillunder development.Bibliography 1. Pomalaza-Raez, C., and Groff, B.

study consisted of undergraduate students using the lectureLess application intwo different engineering courses taught by two different teachers. The first course (Course A)was a simulation elective consisting of 17 × seniors (~20 yrs of age; 1 female, 16 male) enrolledin either engineering or operations research. The second course (Course B) was a projectmanagement course consisting of 16 × seniors (~20 yrs age; 2 female; 14 male) enrolled in oneof our institution’s engineering programs. Two students were enrolled in both courses. The pilotstudy was blocked into 5 sessions–two administered in Course A, and three administered inCourse B. These sessions were scheduled in the middle to latter half of the semester. Thesessions were selected to
