He has been the recipient of several Faculty Learning Community awards. He is also very active in assessment activities and has presented more than thirty five papers at various assessment institutes. His posters in the areas of assessment, Bloom’s Taxonomy, and Socratic Inquisition have received widespread acclaim from several scholars in the area of cogni- tive science and educational methodologies. He has received the Assessment of Critical Thinking Award twice and is currently working towards incorporating writing assignments that enhance students’ critical thinking

This is why it is essential tocomprehend their opinion of the GRE as a graduate school application component for MS/Ph.D.programs.BackgroundNearly all studies on the GRE as an admissions component have focused on its predictivevalidity for graduate students’ success in terms of grades, time to degree completion, advisorrating, and peer-review publication ratings, among other graduate student success metrics.Kileger et al.

Similarly,visiting a potential employer site which employs many or all of the disciplines in the coursemakes it easier for students to envision how the skills they are developing will interface withthose of their peers in another discipline and how all the disciplines work together to developengineered solutions.One way that was simple to communicate which content “belongs” to a discipline was to usecolor codes on the schedule to show what activities/lessons apply to all disciplines(communications, ethics, engineering design process, etc.) and which are more specificallyfocused on a given discipline

They just jointhe group to be with their peers and see what will happen. While a well established group mightbe self-sustaining, most of these groups do need an advisor to help guide them.[4] Generically,the advisors job is to guide them to meet the goals of the group (e.g., to learn about theprofession of chemical engineering, to honor strong academic performance and perform serviceback to the community, or to provide a place for different cultural or affinity students to be withtheir peers).
