“unsatisfying” class together. To alleviate this issue relating to beingbinary of “good” or “bad” courses, only one course was evaluated in each survey given tostudents. The course assigned to each student was randomly given for one of three courses thatthe students would have taken or have been currently enrolled in, named Class A, Class B, ClassC. Each survey type had approximately 35 students in the sample set. Therefore, the 107participating students were split into thirds to compare three courses. The questions and formatamong the class versions remained the same. Different courses within the curriculum werechosen to avoid a student ranking courses very high or very low in satisfaction, leading to a nullmodel that shows little significance. All
’ interactions with “the public.” To explore these questions, weare examining a) official engineering documents that frame the profession’s discourse aroundengineers’ relationship with society, b) perspectives of engineers, and c) perspectives ofmembers of what Hess calls “mobilized” publics.27 As groups that stand in opposition to specificengineering decisions, technologies, or practices and that strive to be heard, mobilized publicsmight offer insight into how engineering imaginaries are expressed in practice and affect criticalpoints of contact between engineers and society. Community perspectives may also highlightimportant aspects of what it is like to be “the public” that engineering imaginaries might distortor overlook. We anticipate that our

The difference was about one-third of a grade point, for instance,B vs. B–.PLTL became well-established because PLTL could be modified to suit the needs of the studentsand educators. For instance, PLTL might also be conducted during a regular lecture session.Brown and Poor5 investigated the effectiveness of in-class peer tutoring (ICPT). In ICPT, a peerteam leader acts as a teaching assistant for a small group of students during the in-class exercise.The authors reported that more than 80% of students liked the ICPT experience. Furthermore,PLTL allowed students to experience social benefits. Students who participated in PLTLregularly made new friends during the sessions, and these peers

Education: Looking for change as seen by ASEE members, 2012 to 2015BACKGROUNDDuring the Fall of 2012 and Spring of 2015, SageFox Consulting Group, external evaluators forthe National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation (Epicenter),1 undertook a study inorder (a) to establish a baseline that could be used by Epicenter to assess change over time inI&E initiatives within this community, and (b) to provide information to the Epicenter team thatwould assist in setting priorities and allocating resources. Within the context of the larger effortof evaluating Epicenter, it became clear that the study would provide a unique opportunity toaddress three key research questions that are the focus of this paper

Inspections takes place indifferent steps which involves: a) Selecting skilled individuals/inspectors, b) Individual review tofind faults, c) Team meeting to consolidate faults, d) Follow-up and repair.There are many variations on Fagan’s original concepts 14, 15 that emphasize different parts of theprocess (e.g. placing more emphasis on the individual preparation phase and less emphasison the team meeting phase). Regardless of whether there is a team meeting, the effectiveness ofthe individuals significantly impacts the overall effectiveness of the inspection 16. During the useof inspection technique, inspectors are given a set of checklists and printed form which guidesthem on how to
Minima, and U for Unsatisfactory. However, in either cycle ofprocesses, there were no refined performance indicators (PI) defined for each SO. In order toprepare for the next cycle of accreditation and to better refine our assessment of the programeffectiveness, it is necessary to include performance indicators (PIs) for each SO. This would letus with the identification of areas for improvement. However, we rapidly realize that if, forexample, a set of three PIs are defined for each SO, the evaluation effort will be at least threetimes more time consuming. In addition, there are some significant challenges such as (a) how toassess and augment the PIs into the existing process (b) making the PIs acceptable to both, thefaculty within the
