. Indeed, one finds that many attempts to assess theABET Criterion 3 outcomes have involved development and use of indirect measures, e.g.,survey instruments and questions that ask students to self-assess their own capabilities for eachtarget attribute.12 Many assumptions undergird this entire process, including that: a) groups ofpracticing professionals and educators can accurately identify, through reflection and discussion,the specific knowledge, skills, attitudes, abilities, etc. that a practicing professional shouldpossess, b) the process of bringing these attributes into courses and curricula is relativelystraightforward, and c) students can reliably and accurately gauge and report on their owncapabilities, such as by filling out Likert

[6], who showed students were more likelyto address feedback using their approach.3. MethodologyIn this study, mastery grading for homework was implemented by two instructors in sophomore-level engineering courses. One instructor had familiarity with the technique (Instructor A), whilethe other was a novice (Instructor B). Instructor A implemented mastery grading in a Dynamicscourse, and used traditional grading in Thermodynamics and Strength of Materials. Instructor Bimplemented mastery grading in Thermodynamics at a different campus. The same homeworkassignments were used in both thermodynamics

Although they did not meet these goals, the overall ENGR 204 GPAwas a C+/B-.Reverse engineering projectThe first major engineering project consisted of reverse engineering an item of the class’ choice.The first section chose a mini Nerf gun and the second class chose a RC car. Students worked inteams of two or three to evaluate how the item worked, disassemble the item to further exploreeach working part, and then try to reassemble the item. One team with the Nerf gun was able toreassemble a working gun that shot

millingtools have been considered ranging from inexpensive AC rotary tools to more expensive DCspindles. Off-the-shelf rotary tools are easily integrated in these desktop CNCs by simply fabri-cating an appropriate mount and instrumenting the spindle with an appropriate collet. Of thetools used thus far, the DC spindles offer accurate, quiet, controllable operation while AC toolstend to emit greater noise and can range in their degree of accuracy. However, in the context ofprototyping in the undergraduate curriculum, both AC and DC rotary tools have proven to be ac-ceptable solutions.Figure 1: (a) A Shapeoko II with the University of Massachusetts Lowell modifications shown.

articulation also makes a difference. Interdentals (θ, ð) are made by putting thetongue between the front teeth; bilabial sounds (p, b, and m) are made by bringing both lipscloser together; and labiodental consonants (f, v) are made with the lower lip against the upperfront teeth. 8 To improve the quality of pronunciation, learners should notice the position changesof jaw, lip, teeth, and part of the tongue.Computer-Assisted Pronunciation TrainingFraser stated that a good way for educators to teach English pronunciation is by “having asuitable curriculum, being student-centered, helping learners become self-reliant, givingopportunities to practice, and knowing what’s best.” 9 Of these five principles, being student-centered and giving opportunities to

Note that ‘Law’ refers to the grade earned relative toother law students; ‘Eng’ refers to the grade given using the engineering curve. The range ofgrades earned by the law students is typically A to C-. The law school also requires that classeswith more than 10 students have a B median.

REMS is a program designed to use real-world industrial engineeringproblems to make 5th – 12th grade math and science fun and meaningful for students. The goalsof the REMS program are to: (a) create an effective math and science curriculum for grades 5–12with a hands-on industrial engineering focus; (b) increase the number of 5th – 12th grade mathand science teachers using age-appropriate teaching modules linking math and science to real-world industrial engineering
