, faculty can encounter difficulty ensuring individualgrades reflect the quantity and value of individual work and not just the collective grade of thegroup. This paper outlines the various steps the mechanical engineering faculty took to provide amore standardized, objective, fair grading process in the capstone course. These steps includeuse of a non-numeric rubric for grading briefings, graded peer reviews, a more objective rubricfor grading written documents, and the use of course directors to standardize the grading process.Introduction The mechanical engineering curriculum at the United States Military Academy (USMA)includes a capstone design project as a culminating experience that draws on fundamentalengineering concepts students have

Experience in a First-Year Engineering CourseAbstractThis research paper describes the integration of design experience in a first-yearengineering course at University of Michigan-Flint. To develop knowledge and skillswithin first-year engineering students, the integration of design curriculum inintroductory engineering courses is important. A study was conducted among the first-year students who worked in teams with senior students on engineering capstone projects.The primary objective was to provide a comprehensive experience in product design anddevelopment processes such as teamwork, design, analysis, manufacturing, etc. Anotherobjective was to develop a peer-mentor relationship between these students to

The project objectives andlearning outcomes for the summer immersion experience using the LLP methodology follow theprogram objectives and outcomes guidelines set by ABET [5]. Our program objectives andoutcomes are designed to support the overall goal of engaging students through innovativeengineering design and experiential learning.The specific objectives for the workshop are that students will be able to: 1. Conceptualize, analyze, design, implement, and evaluate engineering solutions; 2. Work effectively as a team member; 3. Communicate effectively through speaking, writing, and the use of presentation tools; 4. Adapt to technological changes and innovations to gain efficiencies in cost

In thepracticum course discussed in this paper, discussions about active learning approacheswere supplemented by relevant literature reading assignments. In addition, the GTAsreflected on their teaching practices and experiences to improve student learning. Thisallowed the GTAs to collaboratively analyze their implemented teaching methodologieswith their peers.

The goals were to 1) generate a scenario wherestudents can better learn course material by requiring them to teach their peers, and 2) create arepository of videos that can be used in subsequent iterations of the course.Surveys were given out to the student participants at the conclusion of the project, and consistedof five questions evaluated using a five level Likert rating scale, as well as three free responseprompts. The major conclusions derived from the data are: 1) this assignment was enjoyable toexecute, and useful for participating student to learn major concepts in the course, 2) the videosgenerated were useful in teaching their classmates, and 3) this assignment can be extended toother courses.

Realizing thebenefits of combining peer-to-peer mentoring with the use of concept mapping as a learning tool,the CoT-CET program launched a pilot program in fall 2008 to its freshman course in order toimplement and assess the impact of incorporating the two models. The study compares skillsreported by the students at the beginning of the semester with those collected at the end of thesemester.

andreading, the reflective writing of peers can be an effective method for producing conceptualchange in college students (Zhang, 1999). There are several elements common to these approaches to conceptual change. Initially,students make a prediction about a given situation. Then, either through direct experience,simulation, reading, or discussion, they engage with the outcome from that situation. Then,through reflective writing, peer or faculty discussion, or adaptive computer interface, they revisittheir original prediction and reassess their thinking in light of the new experience. Key to theeffectiveness of these processes are that: a) students must experience conflict, in which they seetheir previous conception fail, b) they must deeply

Reflection is a form of mental processing, according to Moon [1], which can bedirected at a specific outcome, such as building knowledge of a different culture in order torespond with intercultural competency [2]. Participants also develop meaning by comparingtheir new experiences to prior ones, and recognize that other ways of life are no less worthwhilethan their own. This last realization arises from reflection, according to Kember, McKay,Sinclair and Wong, who considered reflection as a re-examination of beliefs [3].Moon proposed a framework for reflection consisting of four stages, from descriptive to highlyreflective writing, where the final stage

To address these needs, the team of instructors for ENES100developed and implemented a “Team Performance Rubric”.Although there are many tools and software that are available for assessing the performance of ateam and gathering peer evaluations [1], a novel aspect of the rubric is a reflective andresponsive approach for assessing design practices within the team.

In another kind of exercise, students can be assigned to comeup with new examples, or exercises, for the text, and then submit to an online peer-reviewsystem, where their work is reviewed by others, and the best work selected to be presented tofuture classes. Another strategy is to have students prepare resources to share with the class.They post these on a wiki, and the lectures become class meetings with an agenda posted on thewiki. The instructor moderates the meeting, and a student takes the minutes, and posts them onthe Web. Peer assessment is used for all contributions. The paper
