Page 26.230.6give students feedback regarding the correct running of their program. In his study, 79 studentswere in courses using Athene, and 46 students were in non-Athene courses. In the Athene-courses, 71% of the students finished with a grade high enough to move on to the next course(grade of A, B, or C), whereas in the non-Athene course, only 46% of the students scored highenough to move on. One variable that was not held constant across the two different coursegroups was the number of assignments given. A major goal of Towell’s was making it possibleto increase the number of assignments by decreasing the need for manual grading. With the useof the AAT, students were given 75 assignments, while the non-AAT group were given only 15.In

fields may be involved in conflict-laden contexts – civil, hydraulic, electrical,transport, mining, petroleum, agricultural, etc. Those responsible for the technical core need todevelop a)skills of coordination, negotiation, and communication with stakeholders, b)the abilityto take account of environmental, social, and other impact studies, and c) the ability to work inmultidisciplinary teams that include expertise in political and social analysis.The scope for engineers to determine the final design and implementation of a project, therefore, Page 26.1216.3will be determined by the interplay of the preferences of the various players and by
enrolled in the WI section.Different instructors taught each section of the course.The textbook, written lecture material, most assignments, and most aspects of the final projectwere consistent across the two sections, though lectures differed in emphasis according to eachinstructor’s teaching philosophy and student questions. The difference between instructors is anacknowledged limitation of this investigation. In order to partially account for instructordifferences and the impact that this may have on the research results, the following methods wereused: (a) confirming data was acquired across data sources and (b) questions were explicitlyasked of students concerning classroom instructional techniques.At an institutional level, the efforts to

That was the goal of this study.Because research in the area of interpreting and applying engineering design standards in K-12settings is still in its infancy, literature from science standards and general academic standards isdrawn upon. Research focused on K-12 academic standards has largely fallen into one of twocategories: (a) studies that examine alignment between, and gaps among, content standards withvarious elements such as textbooks, assessments, and certification requirements,2,3,4 and (b)reports of how standards have impacted teachers’ attitudes and practices.5,6 Yet, in short supplyare studies examining the actual systemic

Student performance on quiz and exam questions was then analyzed to determineif one mode of problem assignment resulted in increased learning. A weekly survey was used
