We anticipate that SBG will allow forfrequent, formative feedback throughout a single course as well as inform the instruction offaculty teaching subsequent courses building on these standards, including courses beyond thissequence such as Capstone. Our long-term goal will be to identify, align, and assess LO withinand across these courses in the curriculum using SBG. We will also review and assessimplementation of SBG in this context.This preliminary work focuses on implementation of SBG in the culminating course.

identification of students likely to complete a graduate degree, we sought tochange our process and the way we evaluate students for admission. For this, we changed theapplication and review process to include an assessment of applicants’ non-cognitive variablesbased on Sedlacek’s work and the Fisk-Vanderbilt MS-PhD Bridge Program admissions model[1-3]. In 2016, our Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Department piloted theincorporation of these changes. Consequently, MSE increased the enrollment of women andunderrepresented minority students by 19% and 57%, respectively and we will be evaluating theimpact of the changes on performance metrics and completion rates over time.

Explain the decision you arrived at for the provided scenario. How would you convince a friend of your position? 2. Can you think of an argument that could be made against your decision? How would someone support that argument? 3. If someone confronted you with that argument, how would you respond? How would you defend your position? 4.

The emergence andperpetuation of engineering’s uninviting culture can have a negative influence on the actions ofindividual members of engineering teams, and be a strong indicator of overall team performance[2]. Research has shown that the areas in which cultural pressures of engineering can influenceteaming include but are not limited to the development of team roles, project task distribution, andthe clarity of which goals and objectives are defined and met
