Such formative assessment is very useful and suitable[3]. However, it may not be sufficient in determining individual student learning of requiredpractical skills as students work in teams and also seek help from laboratory instructor duringthese experiments.In this paper, authors will show through laboratory examination results that good scores forindividual laboratory experiments do not always reflect good results of an individual student’slaboratory practical skills. Laboratory examination helps identify the students struggling withpractical skills. This allows instructor and struggling students

The development ofa four-phase process from these frameworks has previously been reported on [citation blindedfor peer review]. The four phases of the modeling process that students used during theirmodeling activities were: (1) planning the model, (2) building the model, (3) evaluating themodel, and (4) reflecting on the model.

Students record and reflect on the struggle of balancing cost andreusability against performance goals. Should the car be light and fast, or focus on carrying alarger mass and reliably following a straight line?

That is, they emphasize to students (andfaculty) that words, grammar and organization have an impact on meaning. Effective writing isconnected to the accuracy and precision that are hallmarks of engineering, and writing choicesare connected to their impact on reader comprehension. The approach thus connects writing withthe practice of engineering, rather than describing writing in terms of stylistic choices andconventions that sound arbitrary to students.4) The materials use a direct, analytical approach for teaching writing

Approach to First-Year Ethics InstructionThrough both success and failure, many engineering projects have a profound impact on individuals and society.Thus, ensuring future engineers consider these impacts and reflect on the ethical implications of their future work isan extremely important topic. There are many pitfalls with the traditional ways in which ethics is taught toengineering students. Often it is taught by a non-engineer as an abstract philosophical topic, rather than an act ofpersonal decision making situated in complex real-world contexts. . It is usually included late in the undergraduatecurriculum, such as during a senior capstone project, and is a relatively short subtopic (module) within a larger
