They do not feature the instructor and they do not contain extraneous material, both of which can hinder learning.  allow instructors to use class time for active learning (e.g., ConcepTests, clicker questions, peer instruction, group exercises), since information delivery is outside of the classroom.  minimize cognitive overload by presenting diagrams and verbal explanations simultaneously, which enhances learning [11

The main point of these standards is that the evaluation of students’ performance will based on samples of work in three categories of students: those in the upper 75 percentile, those in the 50 – 75 percentile and those below the 50 percentile populations. Thus the assessment results compiled are based on course performances and grades, exams, projects, presentations of students, and writings as required in some courses. Furthermore, each course specifically addresses the learning outcomes and relation between the course and the Program outcomes, the methods used for the evaluation of students’ performance and the relevance of the course materials to the Program outcomes following the

This way, students may engage proactively with individuals who may or may notbe in their current professional networks. This may then reinforce the knowledge and skillsstudents learn from their mentors and allow students to serve as peer mentors to otherengineering students.The mentoring system is a personal development relationship between students and their chosenmentors and mentees, which involves routine activities and interactions.
