Engineering - Other (59)This is a project to complete a promising research agenda focused on the assessment of engineering education and funded initially by the Engineering Education and Centers Action Agenda initiative (EEC 9872498). Specifically, the critical problem of how to best assure that engineering students receive a quality education is being addressed through outcomes assessment. With the introduction of the ABET EC2000 accreditation criteria, engineering faculty must develop and implement systems for continuous improvement. The project is involving a multidisciplinary team from five universities: Colorado School of Mines, Columbia University, University of Pittsburgh, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and the University of Washington. The objectives are to identify and evaluate a variety of methodologies for assessing engineering education and to provide engineering educators with a comprehensive set of attributes to describe student learning outcomes, identify existing instruments for each method to assess student achievement outcomes, and develop instruments where none can be found. The particular focus of this phase of the project is to use triangulation experiments using multiple assessment methodologies to measure specific undergraduate outcomes on student cohorts at all five institutions. The research is intended to determine which methods are most effective for particular outcomes as well as to better understand how engineering students progress toward achieving stated learning outcome objectives over the course of their undergraduate education. All findings and materials from this work will continue to be available at http://www.engrng.pitt.edu/~ec2000/

工程-其他（59）这是一个项目，以完成一个有前途的研究议程，重点是工程教育的评估和工程教育和中心行动议程倡议（EEC 9872498）最初资助。具体而言，如何最好地确保工程专业学生接受优质教育的关键问题正在通过成果评估来解决。随着ABET EC 2000认证标准的引入，工程教师必须开发和实施持续改进的系统。该项目涉及来自五所大学的多学科小组：科罗拉多矿业学院、哥伦比亚大学、匹兹堡大学、罗斯-休曼理工学院和华盛顿大学。目标是确定和评估各种评估工程教育的方法，并为工程教育工作者提供一套全面的属性来描述学生的学习成果，确定每种方法的现有工具来评估学生的成绩成果，并在没有仪器的地方开发仪器。该项目这一阶段的重点是使用多重评估的三角测量实验在所有五所院校的学生群体中衡量具体本科生成果的方法。该研究旨在确定哪些方法对特定结果最有效，以及更好地了解工程专业学生如何在本科教育过程中实现既定的学习成果目标。这项工作的所有发现和材料将继续在http://www.engrng.pitt.edu/~ec2000/上提供
