B. The multidisciplinarity of EPICS can create challenges but we have developedassessment tools that can be used for all majors. The assessment are based on the ABETlanguage but with “engineering” replaced by “your discipline” and “technical” with“disciplinary”. This allows each student to read into his or her expertise and be evaluated againstthe criteria. Using terms like “professional preparation” allows the tools to be used acrossmajors effectively. In addition, Peer Evaluation and Feedback are also done for each student ineach team. They include self-evaluation and anonymous evaluations from peers that are used tosupplement the individual documentation.Project EvaluationsProject Evaluations are done for each team.

couldn’t whip out my laptop during an exam. I painstakingly turned it on andstarted using it. In the Jimmy Carter days, I used reverse polish notation, and there wereno graphing calculators available for use in examinations.Now – my past experiences made me aware that there is definitely a way to store anumber in a calculator. Yet how to do this was not obvious to me in peering with myreaders down at the tiny notation on the calculator side-buttons. During an in-classexercise, hand-calculating a series of secant slopes, I realized how it would be useful tostore the outcome of X times “e” raised to the X, where X was 1.003476. As anexperienced “networker,” I have realized that simply “asking one who knows” is a fasterway of figuring out how to do

The traditional approach has been especially difficult to sustain in engineeringeducation, as students frequently struggle with complex concepts that require deepcomprehension [5]. Furthermore, conventional lectures may not sufficiently prepare students toeffectively utilize their knowledge and skills in practical situations [5]. The constraints of thisapproach have sparked a significant increase in enthusiasm for collaborative learning strategiesin engineering education, in part aiming to tackle these difficulties and shortcomings [6][7].Collaborative learning represents a pedagogical shift that encourages students to actively engagewith their peers, working

Second, a research assistant attendedweekly instructor meetings and in-person classes at NYCU to observe the classroomdynamics between the instructors and the students. We are thus able to track how this courseevolved during the semester.

The “involvement” model (Astin) and the “student departure” model (Tinto) provide theoretical and conceptual reasons why student learning communities should impact college students positively, and much research supports both models. The models suggest that learning
