teamwork was helpful to promote group work in class and to learn by doing problems ourselves instead of just watching.

DevelopmentTest design is a process of developing questions or tasks to measure students’ knowledge and skill[1]. A test plan delineates the steps and considerations along with specifications for testadministration and scoring procedures for this process. In this section, we will demonstrate howto develop a test plan by taking validity and reliability into account. To develop a test plan, onemust first consider the intended use of the test scores and the expected interpretations that willarise from them. Subsequently, the test’s content and format are carefully determined to ensurethat the resulting evidence supports the intended interpretations for their respective purposes. Testitems are then created based on the test specifications and are evaluated

].In this work, the definition of ethics used is that of [2]and refers to professional ethics related toengineering practice and the responsible conduct of research. Several instruments have been usedto evaluate domains of students’ ability to ethically reason [9, 10]. Like other competencies,moral reasoning ability (ethical competency) is different from one’s self-efficacy related to moralreasoning (ethics self-efficacy). Self-efficacy is defined as “an individual’s beliefs in theircapabilities to plan and take the actions required to achieve a particular outcome” [11]. Self-efficacy is related to effort, resilience, and greater accomplishments [12, 13]. High levels of self-efficacy have been shown to be correlated with improved academic

The level of math required for those engineeringcourses is also typically at the calculus stage or higher. However, although English skillsare necessary, it is not as essential in the majority of engineering courses offered atIowa State University.On the contrary, there are not many elementary education courses which requirestudents to have as vast a math foundation as engineers. Whereas Calculus I and II arerequired by the basic engineering program, no calculus is required by the elementaryeducation program.

The faculty had to arrive at a reasonably similar vision andphilosophy about the nature of the course (i.e., they had to buy into it) before any of the detailscould be worked out. Although the first year required a nine-month planning period when theentire teaching team met weekly, this course was designed to be essentially "self-actuating".That is, the facultymembers assigned to teach this course are able to do so with minimalcommunication and coordination among themselves.Figure 1. 10-step Engineering Design ProcessTable 1.

Those who did not feel motivated by the MEAs typically citedthat the scope of the projects were too large or that more time would be needed to better theirmodels.Future testing at Cal Poly will include expanding MEAs to statics and thermal systems designcourses. Additionally, there are plans to add more incident reports to the AccidentReconstruction MEA to limit the likelihood of students dividing the four cases between them,forcing the students to operate more as a team.
