portfolioadministration, such as portfolio design/format and portfolio set up, and then discussways in which portfolio objectives, including evaluation rubrics, may be developed.Special emphasis is placed on communicating portfolio objectives to students and theefficacy of reflective statements as a way to make the portfolio rating process moreefficient. The end result of portfolio assessment is a clearer picture of students’communication skills and valuable feedback for students and professors.I. IntroductionAt first glance, assessing student learning outcomes in communication effectivenesswould seem an easy task. For some engineering departments, good communication isdistilled in the instruction to students that they must write and speak “clearly” in

Removing an Unsupported Statement in Engineering Education Literature Keith E. Holbert and George G. Karady Arizona State University, Tempe, AZAbstractThe STATEMENT that “students retain 10% of what they read, 20% of what they hear, 30% ofwhat they see, …” enjoys widespread appearance in engineering education papers. The firstarchived occurrence of the STATEMENT emerges in a trade magazine article by Treichler (1967).A continuous improvement plan compels the re-evaluation of the status quo, and as such thispaper provides a critical review of this unsupported STATEMENT and its proliferation.

Distance Education: Not Just for Distance Students Douglas R. Carroll, Hong Sheng University of Missouri-RollaAbstract A Mechanics of Materials course was offered with two enrollment options.Students could enroll in the class as on-campus distance students or as regular students.The regular students attended the lectures live in the usual fashion. The on-campusdistance students did not come to class, other than to take the exams. The on-campusdistance students could watch the class live on the internet, or watch the recorded lecturesat a time more convenient to them.

They are expected to taketheir knowledge and comprehension and synthesize it with all the information they can compileto formulate a solution or practical next steps.Reality learning is current. It is exciting as students are encouraged to use the resources at theirfingertips (search the web) or in vibrating in their pockets (cell phones, Blackberries etc.) Theyare encouraged to think about how the engineering problem they are confronting might beaddressed around the world. If they know an expert, they can call. If they want information theyshould get it. The competitive genes take over and the classroom experience becomes rich withstudent led and appreciated

2123 Developing Instructional Modules on Engineering Ethics Hillary Hart, O. Christene Moore University of Texas at AustinIntroductionMany U.S. colleges and departments of engineering are looking at ways to integrate the teachingof engineering ethics and professional responsibility into existing courses. The value of suchintegration seems obvious: the case studies and examples spring organically from the subjectmatter of the course, so that thinking about ethics and professional responsibility becomesdemonstrably a part of the design or problem-solving process. And yet, what seems
characterization of academic performance and competency have been topics of interestat all educational levels. Efforts generally include tests within major subject categories such as math,reading, and science with the diversity of categories increasing at higher educational levels. Suchtests result in a score (for individuals or aggregated across individuals) for each category that isintended to reflect “performance”; i.e., a level of competency or mastery within the defined subjectmatter area (SMA). While individual SMA scores are used as part of individual and groupperformance reports, single number “overall performance” metrics are frequently also used. Suchcomposite measures have traditionally been based on simple or weighted averaging. GeneralSystems
