included in these comparisons. The range of scores on each exam are also verysimilar between sections. Because ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc.) usesit as a demarcation, the percent of each class that scored at least 70% on each exam was also analyzed.This is the only statistic that, by the eyeball test, shows any real difference between the sections. For thefirst two exams, more students in Professor B’s sections scored at least 70%, but this is reversed for thethird exam. Table 1.

. Enabled by technology and socialnetworking, the rapid proliferation of these detrimental strategies is increasing, and their longterm impacts are just now being fully realized. Based on our observations, the net effect is thatthe current level of learning is well below what is needed for an engineering graduate and muchlower than most currently-used course assessment methods would indicate. This is a world-widetrend, and its potential consequences are perilous.When implemented holistically, the SMART Assessment model has produced consistentlypositive results, irrespective of instructor or student cohort. Compared to a standard assessmentmodel with graded homework and “correct approach”-based partial credit on exams, students incourses that used

The importance andubiquity of power electronics, however, are matched by their complexity. Students are typicallyintroduced to power electronics when they have developed a rigorous understanding of electricalcircuits, semiconductor physics, signal processing, elementary control theory, digital logic, andwave mathematics. The interplay between these concepts in practical circuits can be difficult forinexperienced students to grasp.Third-year undergraduate students at our university are
