laboratories indicated graphical rating scales were used by avast majority [19].A report by Murphy indicated a criticism of graphical ratings is the tendency of managers toassign a uniform rating. Murphy’s report studied Merck & Co, Inc. from 1978 through 1989.Merck managers assigned a rating from 1, poor, to 5, best, based on overall performance. Forappraisals during 1984 and 1985, 97.76% of the employees received a 3 or 4 appraisal rating[20]. The Cornell University researchers found 77% of their respondents’ professionalemployees rated at the comparable 3 or 4 level [14].Another shortcoming of the graphical rating is its inherent relia nce on the rater’s subjectiveanalysis of the work performance behaviors observed and their translation to the

with progressively greater emphasison constructivism.Advantages Of Activity-Based Learning Versus Lecture-Based TeachingOne key concept in educational improvement is that there should be more emphasis on studentlearning as opposed to the process of teaching. Research such as that reported above indicatesthat students learn best in situations in which they are actively engaged in the learning process.Furthermore, particularly in engineering technology programs, students are expected to be ableto perform useful tasks immediately upon completion of the program. There is an emphasis onwhat students can do in addition to what they know. They are expected to critically analyzeproblems and generate appropriate solutions with minimal supervision

This is done through a flexible five-week program where participantsspend two weeks on campus taking classes and preparing for the trip abroad and three weeksworking abroad alongside an international community partner. Since 2007, the program hasworked with communities in over 20 countries worldwide with several hundreds of studentparticipants to date.The purpose of this study is to evaluate overall experiences of students participating in the MOMprogram at Mercer University. As a unique programmatic model for international service-learning in a short-term study abroad context, the MOM program can provide valuable insightsinto effective practices in international service-learning

engineering degree studies. Extensive surveys ofthe current practices related to senior projects, as well as of engineering teaching through seniorprojects are available in the literature [1, 2]. For their senior projects, students apply thebackground and skills accumulated through coursework in researching a problem, for whichthen a solution is investigated, designed and implemented. A significant part of the knowledgeand skills needed for the projects are straightforward learning from the actual courses taken inthe program, but often new skills are needed, specific to the project topic selected, and studentsneed to apply their learning skills in researching a new subject, or getting familiar with a newpiece of hardware or software platform
