Assessment serves two purposes: (1) it provides a measureof achievement, and (2) it facilitates learning. The types of assessment used by an instructor alsotelegraph to students what is valued in a course. However, in many instances, the lack ofalignment between instructional methods and assessment detracts from the added value ofengaged student learning environments.Our NSF funded project, “Enhancing Learning by Improving Process Skills in STEM” focuseson the development of instructor resources that support process (or professional) skilldevelopment. These resources are designed to help instructors provide

Moreover, cooperative learning has repeatedly proven to have positiveimpacts on students’ educational experience [3,5]. Cooperative learning, which can beincorporated in classes of any size, enables students to improve their social and team-workingskills. In addition, cooperative learning provides an opportunity for students to discuss theirquestions and overcome challenges within their groups without forming long lines outside theinstructor’s office during office hours.Nevertheless, for certain technical courses in engineering curriculum

Foundation'sTransforming Undergraduate Education in STEM program (grant no. 1323259), addresses apersistent problem in engineering education: the discrepancy between the writing skills ofprogram graduates and the demands of writing in the workplace. In the project, new teachingmaterials are based on research about effective writing by civil engineering practitioners. Thematerials are integrated into existing courses and assignments, rather than through majorcurriculum changes, so that new instruction can be implemented more easily and quickly. Thisposter paper provides a brief summary of the project, emphasizing the teaching materials andassessment results from the past three years.

How Do Students Respond to Active Learning? A Coding Guide for a Systematic Review of the LiteratureAbstractThis work in progress paper presents an example of conducting a systematic literature review(SLR) to understand students’ affective response to active learning practices, and it focuses onthe development and testing of a coding form for analyzing the literature. Specifically, the fullpaper seeks to answer: (1) what affective responses do instructors measure, (2) what evidence isused to study those responses, and (3) how are course features connected with student response.We conducted database searches with carefully-defined search queries which resulted in 2,365abstracts from 1990 to 2015.

?IntroductionIn the Rowan University Department of Biomedical Engineering, we offer a yearlong, team-based longitudinal Biomedical Engineering design course involving junior and senior students.Through this course, student teams interact with clinicians and industry experts outside of theuniversity in a professional setting, and work to fulfill an unmet need in the medical field viaengineering design within realistic economic, social, ethical, and manufacturability constraints.Previous work has shown that active engagement in the design process for actual, real-worldproblems like these reinforces concepts and improves learning [1, 2]. In our course, each team isactively engaged in the design process throughout the yearlong course, which culminates in
