pedagogy, we found them surprising.As a result of this survey, it became clear to us that many of our university’s instructors neededto be engaged in more conversation and training around pedagogical research, rather than beingleft to come to their own conclusions about what they feel the most important elements of theirpedagogy are. We may not have anticipated this particular need when we began designing theITM, but it is precisely the kind of opportunity it was designed for nonetheless.Beginning in the fall of 2020, the commission began to integrate the ITM into many of thepedagogical development activities it offers: actively during the annual workshop andconference, during new faculty training, and voluntary peer observation, as well as

-LEPpeers on real world projects. Finally, a performance activity will be used to directly observe ifand how LEP students approach systems integration problems differently from their peers.IntroductionEngineering majors at East Central State University are similar to those at other schoolsthroughout the nation – students choose to major in one area and they follow a curriculum that islargely specified but has a few electives of various types sprinkled throughout. The primarycommonalities to all majors are a set of math, physics, chemistry, writing, and technology andsociety courses. With this structure, it is not surprising to learn that students in different majorsdevelop different sets of rigorous technical skills and that these skills do not

A furtherproblem in assessing learning with multiple-choice questions is the response validity. Answersto similar open-ended and multiple-choice questions have been shown to differ greatly forcertain students and questions8.Perhaps the most serious shortcoming of limiting real-time feedback to responses in multiplechoice question format is that it shortchanges the students of an opportunity to improve theircritical thinking skills through writing.

Additionally, students are required to write a short reflective paper aftereach project summarizing what went well with the project, what might be improved in the future,and lessons learned. A similar approach is used for the semester long team project, but a longerpaper is required as part of the team project. This paper is the basis for a presentation at the endof the semester.
