Inventory of Evaluation Tools for Engineering Education Projects

工程--其他(59)该项目解决了一个重要的国家需求：评估工程教育、创新和研究的有效性。目标是建立一份带注释的评估工具清单，以确定旨在改善工程教育和沿工程管道留住学生的项目的有效性。一个由工程教育、评估和评估专业人员组成的经验丰富的团队将对现有的评估工具进行广泛的搜索，并将其对工程教育研究和开发社区的有用性进行记录。公认的工程教育和评价方面的国家专家将审查和促进对工具和由此产生的清单的评价。这项工作的产品包括：(1)评估工具目录，其特点是所处理的结果、工具的开发阶段和工具的可用性；(2)为支持工程课程、课程和实验室改进而需要解决的评估工具差距的优先列表；(3)介绍评估工具清单的方法和结果的期刊出版物；(4)完善和传播结果并促进所需评估工具开发的国家讲习班；以及(5)广泛传播结果和评估工具的战略

Engineering - Other (59)The project addresses an important national need: evaluating effectiveness of engineering education innovations and research. The goal is to build an annotated inventory of evaluation tools for determining the effectiveness of projects targeted at improving engineering education and student retention along the engineering pipeline. An experienced team of engineering education, assessment and evaluation professionals will conduct an extensive search for existing evaluation tools and document their usefulness for the engineering education research and development community. Recognized national experts in engineering education and evaluation will review and contribute to the evaluation of tools and the resulting inventory. Products of this work include: (1) a catalog of evaluation tools characterized by outcomes addressed, instrument stage of development, and instrument usability, (2) a prioritized list of evaluation tool gaps needing to be addressed to support engineering course, curriculum, and laboratory improvement, (3) a journal publication presenting the methodology and results of the evaluation tools inventory, (4) a national workshop to refine and disseminate results and to promote needed evaluation tools development, and (5) a strategy for broad dissemination of findings and evaluation tools
