two different perspectives. On one hand, self-assessment is a process of enabling students to: become “more critical and perceptive” in theirlearning, make personal judgments on their learning outcomes and academic activities, andexperience “holistic development” [13], [14], [15], [16]. Goal-setting activities and self-reflection performance are part of an overall process where the ultimate goal is to “grow oneself”and fuel future learning needs by examining individual performance, monitoring and evaluatingthinking and behavior, and finding strategic ways to improve understanding [5], [17], [18], [19].Self-assessment can also be specifically viewed as the ability of a student to reliably evaluateone’s own work and to complete tasks such as

subservience noted from either side. Projects of an altruisticnature like this one have been shown to be heavily valued by females on design teams.18In the early years, the best assessment tool was a 1-page free-form reflection that each studentwrote at semester’s end. Each student also kept a daily log and the group prepared a final reportthat included a particular tables field product manual. Almost all wrote that 1) they learned a lotof new hands-on skills and how to read schematics; 2) they had a different view of those withdisability; 3) they liked working on a real problem and doing so as a team; and 4) a good numbersaid that it was the best class that they took at the university (the last comment makes me wonderwhere the joy resides in other

Asblood flows through the finger, the light reflected off the fingervaries, changing the resistance of the photoresistor. TheArduino then reads an analog voltage from the circuit anddisplays it to a graph (Figure 2). This allows students tovisualize blood moving through the finger, a mechanical way tomeasure cardiovascular activity. During their design process,the students were encouraged to “think like an engineer” andstrive to make a device that was accurate in differentenvironments, easy to use, and comfortable for the patient. Theyalso were able to think fundamentally about how pulse meters inthe medical industry work and what sorts of things

The thematic analysis of participants final in-depth interviews revealedthemes within the categories of their perceptions on the benefits, challenges, potential barriers toadoption, and recommendation for future implementation. Themes that emerged included: Benefits. When asked to reflect on the benefits of the new system for evaluating teaching effectiveness,participants identified four primary themes: reflection, unbiased, systematic, and non-threatening.

Based on this feedback a more formal assessment of how the course impacts thestudent’s interest is needed. The main goal of the course is to help students realize the potential areasthat their engineering degrees could be used. To work towards the impact of the course and obtainstatistical assessment, a survey will be developed following based on an intrinsic MotivationInventory (IMI). Questions will be created that ask the students to reflect on how each emphasis areahas impacted their interest on the topics discussed.

within a specific discipline. No matter which instrumentresearchers have adopted, measures of the multidimensional framework have been problematicin terms of validity and reliability. For example, some of the theoretical factors were notidentified in some studies [8], [9], and some researchers have found the factor structures are hardto duplicate in replicated studies [10]. Therefore, existing instruments may be inadequate to capture the representations ofengineering students’ domain-specific epistemic beliefs. The first explanation of theseassessment-issues is the predefined meanings within the questionnaires [11]. Although one mayargue that the theorized meanings reflect the overarching framework of key components ofepistemic beliefs

This includesan assessment of the current status of MI presence in the undergraduate engineering curriculumand the extent to which it should be.MethodologyA total of 210 senior engineering students have participated in the study, of which 85.3% were inthe 18 – 25 year age group and 66.2% were male. Seniors were selected since the study focuseson undergraduate education and seniors would presumably be in the best position to reflect ontheir educational experiences from initial entry into engineering up to the final undergraduateyear. A Qualtrics survey instrument was developed that probed: 1) self-perception of the extentto which the student had any characteristics of each MI; 2) the student’s perception

Students were asked why most of the references in popular media were ominous innature and all students correctly reflected that the reason is because ‘nano’ is too small. Thisperception was juxtaposed with scientific and economic aspects of nanotechnology which areoverwhelmingly positive and optimistic.10 The students participated in an activity where theywere presented with various statements and asked to choose whether these

Rubrics of this variety may beholistic, meaning that they include a single rating scale for the entirety of the work, or analytical,meaning that several scales are used to assess different dimensions of the work. Perlman offers avaluable discussion of the thought-process that goes into developing a successful rubric, as wellas the different varieties which may be applied.9In this work, a system of analytical rubrics were applied to
