This involved careful consideration of each line in our scripts in order tobe clear and concise. Once the scripts were drafted and reviewed, we practiced and timed them tomake sure they fit in our time limits and made additional cuts when necessary. Once the scriptswere finalized, we moved on to recording.

Littlefield (1999)2 suggested that a syllabusserves several purposes, it sets the tone for a course, motivates students to achieve course goals,and serves as a planning tool for faculty, to name a few.In addition to being a cognitive map, syllabi can serve many purposes. A review of the currentliterature revealed that a syllabus can serve as a: (i) communication mechanism, (ii) a planningtool for instructor (iii) a course plan for students, (iv) a pedagogical resource tool for studentlearning, (v) an artifact for teaching evaluations of an instructor, and (vi) a contract of policiesand procedures between instructor and student.

Ultimately, this low-cost pedagogy could significantly aid in promoting cultural,technical, and global competence in engineering students in the next post-pandemic years.A.

accreditation; they offer helpful details on implementation of an assessment plan, from filemanagement to faculty consensus building. Notably, they include their rubrics. Rubrics areguides for scoring student work and ABET recommends their use in assessment [2]. Rubricsdecompose student outcomes into performance indicators (PIs), increase inter-rater reliability, anddefine performance levels. Assessment of outcomes 3–7 in capstone has been described [3], ashas a multidisciplinary capstone project in which all seven SOs are assessed [4]; however, thosepapers do not include the related rubrics. This paper builds on previous efforts by describing andpromoting a pragmatic approach to assessment, stating the rationale for how each outcome isassessed, and

professorholistically assigns a grade of ‘D’ for an oral presentation, how can one properly evaluate studentperformance such that appropriate action can be taken as part of a continuous improvementprocess? It could be that the low grade was for glaring grammatical errors, or for a flaweddesign based on a poor understanding of certain engineering concepts. If it was determined thatthe curriculum was to blame, an action plan for correcting poor grammar would be radicallydifferent that an action plan for reinforcing the pertinent engineering concepts. Furthermore, assenior design projects usually involve multiple faculty members, there is a question of fairness,as grading standards will often differ between faculty members.

Five times during the semester,students were given an essay prompt to identify one or more skills to work on in the followingtwo-week period (first essay) or one-month period (subsequent essays except the last). Studentswere asked to assess their current proficiency level in that skill according to the self-evaluationrubric, describe their goals related to the skill and their plan for improvement, and share progressin the skill(s) if any had been made since the previous essay.

The software selectedfor completing the drawings were AutoCAD and Revit.AutoCAD/ Revit ArchitectureAutoCAD was used to produce 2-D representations of the floor plans, also known as top views,as well as elevations or front and end views and construction details. These construction details,or working drawings, were included because they typically show how the parts of the buildingscan be built. The plans and elevations were imported into Revit Architecture and then used tocreate an outline to generate the general layout of the building as it would have been placed insitu. These plans specifically provided the thickness of walls, location and width of doors as wellas windows. Alternately, the

Therefore, the instructor can relate the studentengagement data to the lecture content after class. To refine the student behavior categoriessuggested by the BERI protocol, we did some pilot observations based on the suggestedbehavior set. We decided to add some course-specific behaviors such as “collaborative work,”“device use,” and “presenting.” We then used the expanded behavior pool in the formalobservations
