Each mentee spent several hoursor a full day at the work place of his/her mentor. The students had an opportunity to participate inwork-related meetings and activities with their mentors. This experience had a very positive impactbecause it allowed students to experience a "sneak-preview" of an engineer at work, a situationquite different from what they see in the academic setting.PRISM’s second major activity occurred in March.

An alternative course structure is presented,which allows for the new principles and concepts, and consequently might make advances inengineering education. The proposal is focused on the Systematic Planning Approach and bringsan instrument - a Knowledge Based System which embodies the new principles and concepts - topragmatically assist course designers in the development of their tasks. Some preliminary resultsfrom ongoing experiences are discussed.

And then one of our staff members puts their spin on it”with their expertise. Charlotte used the snake jaw robot in one pop-up program between thetraining session and her interview. She said people saw the snake jaw robot and were curiousabout what it was, so that drew them over. Overall, she felt using the snake jaw robot in the pop-up went well.Several staff members mentioned using the snake jaw robot to complement presentations withtheir live snakes.

The importance of assessment tolearning is underscored by the recognition that it serves as a guiding force for both educators andstudents. The clear definition of learning objectives, as discussed in the literature [1-2], aidsinstructors in selecting appropriate course content, planning lectures, designing assignments, andwriting tests. The relevance of assessment to engineering education is further highlighted by therole of accreditation, particularly through the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET).
