amount of line compensation.The exact amount of time the resistor is inserted before the main contacts close depends of theline length. Therefore, it is important to capture the operation, specifically, the timing of thisresistor switch.Setting up and Running the TestThe class as a whole sets up and runs the test working in teams. Only two hours is allotted forthis test, so the testing cannot be done individually. (In other courses, such as ET 280 ProtectiveRelaying, additional time is allocated so each student can do the testing individually.) The stepsare as follows: 1. Check Circuit Breaker Status a. Check SF6 pressure in the interrupters b. Check air pressure in the pneumatic system. If low, connect compressor to 120 V
to alumni and industryadvisory council (IAC). The assessment of SOs was conducted on a six-year cycle, in which bothdirect and indirect measures were used by the CET program. Direct measures included PIs thatare drawn from both the senior project and the coursework. Indirect measures include senior exitsurveys, alumni surveys, and IAC surveys. These tools will be discussed in further details inSections A and B, covering the assessment tools used for the PEOs, and then moving into detailingthe assessment measures for the SOs.

Weidman’s undergraduate socialization model, Ashforth,Sluss, and Saks’ definition of institutional tactics, Ashford and Black’s definition of proactivebehaviors, and outcomes such as major satisfaction, engineering identity, intent to persist, andsocial capital. The instrument includes three sections: (a) background characteristics, (b)collegiate experiences, and (c) socialization outcomes.Pre-College Characteristics, Resources, and Experiences: While some pre-college andbackground characteristic variables (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, SAT/ACT scores, SESindicators) come from institutional databases, data regarding students’ pre-college resources andexperiences are included in the study instrument. For instance, we ask students if they had
identified - non-competitive markets, public goods, externalities, information asymmetries, and principal-agentproblems. In this section we review each of these five sources in turn, proceeding with a standarddefinition, examples, and implications for research and policy in engineering education. Some ofthe examples provided are more concrete than others. For each type of failure, we invite thereader to reflect on their own involvement in engineering education and consider examples fromtheir own experiences in engineering education in order to (a) to personalize the analysis and (b)help demonstrate the potential applicability of this approach.Public goods We first take up the notion of public goods, because prior to marketization, education

We also conducted a binary logistic regression of thesuccessful completion variable on both the normalized exam grade and on the counterfactualthought dummy variable to control for initial exam performance. Students who generated acounterfactual had approximately 50% higher odds of passing the course (Odds ratio = 1.55,B(std. error) = 0.44 (0.69)), though this effect was not statistically significant (Wald Chi-square(1) = 0.40, p = .53).DiscussionThis study provided an initial, correlational investigation of the impact of counterfactuals oncourse performance in a pre-engineering course with a high rate of students not successfullycompleting

Ohm’s law, Kirchoff’s laws, component relations and impedance formulae for sinusoidal signals. This analysis generally uses three steps, a) gather the given data from the word statements and list the expectations, b) use basic laws to set up the equations and steps for the analysis and c) do the calculations and plots if necessary by using formulae, mathematical tools and help at the disposal of the learner. In the last step most students and instructors and textbooks prefer to use calculators, but it is usually a long drawn procedure and often fraught with errors. In long calculations, the students often loose attention while their immediate concerns become not to commit mathematical mis- takes. As a consequence, they do not pay enough

Utilizing course or project/exam grades may contain bias not only because there issometimes no baseline metric upon which to determine prior/exogenous knowledge, but alsobecause such grades are normally a) not anonymous to the instructor(s) and b) can be affected bythe instructor’s own grading biases.Changes in attitude toward a given topic or engineering in general is valuable knowledge, giventhe effects of student perception on graduation rate [16] and eventual employment [17] as well asless easily measured variables like satisfaction in engineering and creativity in the discipline.There are multiple

The SAS program was charged with providing effectivetutoring that created a strong foundation for courses that followed in the engineeringcurriculum. The goals of the program were to help engineering students successfullycomplete first and second year engineering coursework. The SAS program employedstudents who earned a 3.0 cumulative GPA and successfully completed tutored courses,receiving a grade of either an A or B in the course they were hired to tutor. The criterionfor selection of SAS tutors was determined with input from students, faculty and staff.We wanted tutors who were highly successful in the course but were concerned that if weonly included the highest achievers

The sample size was quite small in this study, so there may be benefit in repeatingthis study with a larger number of students, but based on the lack of obvious improvements onthe common exam problems, we do not recommend implementing the reordered syllabus withoutadditional study.References:[1] Hibbeler, R.C., Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics, 14th Edition, Prentice-Hall, Inc., 2015.[2] Boresi, A.P., R.J.
