Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs)This session was led by Wayne Jacobson of the Center for Instructional Development andResearch at the University of Washington. Discussion focused on the connection betweenassessment tools and learning tools. Because the class had been writing two-minute papers atthe end of every class, they were familiar with one type of classroom assessment. The readingsand discussions generated other ideas.

, in fact, the way most people learn outside a school setting. A simple example of this wouldbe learning how to use a word processing program. Few people really "learn" how to use a wordprocessor by sitting with the manual and memorizing each useful function first and then trying toapply the use of those functions to accomplishing a task later. Instead, what actually occurs isthat the task or "problem" arises first. The task may be simply to write a letter. As one beginsthe task it is apparent that there are certain functions that must be learned. Those functions (i.e.setting margins, numbering pages, setting justification, formatting a page, etc.) are learnedONLY in the context of the task of writing a letter. In fact, the letter task

The goal of these courses is todemonstrate the ability to manage a major project involving the design and implementation ofproducts with a mixture of electrical and mechanical elements as a member of a productdevelopment team. In these project-based courses, the students are expected to effectivelymanage their time and team efforts to produce a finished product in three ten-week quarters. Notextbook is required. Weekly progress reports, design notebooks, formal reports, and oralpresentations constitute integral components of this course sequence

This approach has thebenefit of encouraging students to be more diligent in their presentation, because of the audienceof peers, faculty from across campus, and industry sponsors who may be hiring graduates.A different design competition model is to promote internal-competitions among students withina single course. At the University of Colorado Boulder (CU), the Civil Engineering capstonecourse has always used only one or two projects and therefore multiple teams all work on thesame project. This engenders a degree of competition among teams, but competition was notdirectly encouraged until 2009. In that year the course was re-designed with a local

Terms Chances of Failure(CoF) and Impact of Failure (IoF) were used to measure the probability and impact of potentialfailure. Additionally, since the goal was to recognize which factors out of the 10 acted as barriersfor NE, the term Barrier Index (BI) was used to signify multiplication result from CoF and IoFvalues.First section of the questionnaire included questions around the 10 factors to gauge CoF based onthe situations and perceptions of teachers.

It has also been shown that retention of URM and women is increasedthrough project-based learning or experiential learning pedagogies and techniques[3]-[10].Moreover, URM students often have a limited perspective of their contributions to improvingtechnology due to social issues such as a lack of exposure to engineering and science professionsand having personal role models in their local community who are scientists or engineers.Furthermore, when URM students enter STEM fields, many fail to see the connection betweentheir studies and real-world problems because gateway courses in current curricula fail to makethat connection explicit [10], [11
