ASEE Paper: FED Comparative Study Contact Name: Deran Hanesian Organization: New Jersey Institute of Technology NJIT's Office of Institutional Planning and Research undertook a study of the performance of students who took this new course sequence.� The study compared the impact of the two courses in order to find out the affect of the FED course, as compared to its predecessor Engineering Graphics course, on engineering student graduation rates, and academic performance.� The study analyzed outcomes for students who took the Engineering Graphics course in 1992-93 or the FED course in 1993-94.

Comparison of Engineering Graphics and Engineering Design: An Outcome Study Contact Name: Martha Zola Organization: New Jersey Institute of Technology This paper presents the results of a comparision between a traditional engineering graphics course and a more current engineering design course. This outcome assessment study demonstrates that the FED course improved students' graduation rates, engineering courses GPA. math courses GPA, and cumulative GPA as compared to those students that took the EG course.

Distance Learning Instruction paper Contact Name: John Carpinelli Organization: New Jersey Institute of Technology This paper presents the results of an analysis of the performance of two groups of computer engineering students who enrolled in a course in computer architecture. The first group took the course in a traditional classroom in face-to-face mode while the other group took the course in distance learning mode using an asynchronous learning network. Students were placed in the groups according to their wish, thus making the mode of learning self-selective. Both versions of the course cover the same material and were taught by the same instructor. The analysis tracks the performance of students, both in this course, and in a computer engineering design laboratory course for which this course is a prerequisite.

Technology-Mediated Assessment Workshop Contact Name: Eli Fromm The reform movement in engineering education is providing several lessons in culture change within the academic setting. From the development of interdisciplinary curricula to the new focus on outcomes-based assessment, faculty, administration, students, alumni, and parents are experiencing the push and pull of these changes. This paper focuses on the need to clearly define the intended institutional outcomes. The process of developing culture change metrics is described and the results from seven engineering schools are explored. The paper includes several samples of aggregate results demonstrating both the benefits and challenges of collecting such information. Click Here To Download [Back to Index/Top] 6.
