The participants were working professionals enrolled in a professional master’s degreein software engineering that requires industrial experience for admission so it is likely hadexperience working in teams. They would also have had experience participating on teamprojects in other courses in the program as software systems design is not the first course in theprogram.

As the tools and computational resourcesadvance, a perennial question is what should be taught in introductory structural analysiscourses. Coupled with that question is what is an engineer, as opposed to an engineeringtechnician, and what do we expect engineers to do in the future. The real question for structuralengineering education is “What must a structural engineer know to be prepared for professionalpractice upon graduation and to successfully adapt to change that is inevitable over the 45

When looking at the research in regards topredicting which institutions did the best job, it was noted that for both minority and non-minority engineering schools, selectivity was the most important predicator of degree attainment.Additionally, the more expensive institutions with higher selectivity had the higher graduationrates for all students18. These graduation rates have remained unchanged since the 1980’s. Based on the information here one would think that engineering schools would havesome idea as to why their numbers continue to decline. But this does not seem to be the case. Page 7.4.5

Once developed, rubrics must betested, and deviations between raters of the same instrument should not exceed one level. It israre that a rubric will prove satisfactory without modifications after testing, and periodic re-evaluation and modification are also necessary. Once performance criteria and/or attributes aredefined, the best way to proceed is to define what superior performance is and what notacceptable performance is, i.e., the extremes should be defined first.
