Integrated Technology Assessment (ITA) ProcessEvery student enrolled in the BS-Electronics Engineering Technology program atExcelsior College is required to participate in the ITA development process by taking asenior-level course labeled ELEC 495.Every student who enrolls in ELEC 495 is assigned a faculty mentor. The entire courseprocess consists of a 15-week timeline. The first four weeks consist of a WebCT self-paced asynchronous portfolio development process resulting in a professional resume andan ITA plan/outline. Weekly assignments for students during the first four weeks are asfollows: • Week 1 – Review course policies and procedures – Develop professional resume • Week 2 – Develop ITA plan/outline • Week 3 – Develop draft

success skills. The course culminates in a heterogeneous team based project.The students are introduced to a generic project planning strategy that focuses on goals,methodology, timelines and work distribution among personnel. Team building exercisesare used to establish team norms and to demonstrate the synergistic advantages of acollaborative project. An inexpensive project, which involves engineeringmeasurements and estimation, is selected to challenge the student’s creative skills. Theproject culminates in a final written report. The course utilizes a combination ofinstructor (50%) and peer based(50%) evaluations that provide feedback and stimulateindividual performance. Peers are asked to identify results achieved by all teammembers. In

These data are typical results andthe pattern remains the same.Rounding out the Learning Experience—Suggestions to Complete the LoopAs the data show, engineering students show a penchant for learning by the converger method ofabstract conceptualization and active experimentation. Convergers love to design things, makedecisions, and evaluate plans. They tend to be action oriented, but may come to a conclusion toofast or solve the wrong problem if they are excessive. Page

MUSCLE fellows tofocus their efforts and help students gain mastery through hands-on activities.Teachers are starting to view the MUSCLE fellows as support for their instructional program.Initially, teachers expressed some reservations, fearing that working with the fellows wouldmean additional work for them. However, they have found that the fellows provide valuableinformation and fresh insight when planning lessons for math and science. Teachers have alsobeen more willing to integrate science lessons with math and reading.One of the major challenges of MUSCLE program has been to find a good match between thefellows and teachers. Initially, each fellow was assigned to work with several teachers, and thegroup of fellows worked with every teacher
