Closing the Loop : Evaluation of SLO Assessments Salomón Dávila Engineering and Technology Division
Objectives • Demonstrate the evaluation of two different assessments methods. • Mid Term Exam • Final Project Presentation • Discuss how the evaluation affected course changes (closed the loop) towards SLO achievement and classroom activity.
Mid-term Exam Evaluation • DRFTG 8A Students evaluated their exam before they received their grade based on: • Activities in class • Relevancy of questions • Feasibility of the exam. • Time dedicated to material. • Survey was taken anonymously with free online tool: http://www.surveymonkey.com • Graphs below are scaled to represent percentages of responses.
How relevant were the questions in the exam to the material covered?
Final Project Presentation • Rubrics were used to evaluate each class SLOs during a final individual or group presentation • Each SLO was broken down into subcategories (SPO’s) • Rubrics were handed out at the commencement of the final project
DRFTG 8A Engineering Graphics Principles • SLO #1: Analyze engineering and technical graphics by evaluating view representations, dimensions, and geometric relationships. • SLO #2: Construct engineering and technical graphicsthrough selection of sketching, instrument drawing and computer-aided design (CAD) techniques. • SLO #3: Implement effective team problem-solving in developing engineering and technical graphics for designs. • SLO #4 Present engineering and technical information by developing graphical, oral, and written forms of communications.
DRFTG 8B Engineering Modeling and Working Drawings • SLO #1: Construct updateable CAD parametric solid modelsfor the production of engineering working drawings through constraining of sketches, features, planes, and assemblies. • SLO #2: Analyze engineering and technical graphics to develop CAD parametric modeling procedures and strategies. • SLO #3: Design a team project from standard mechanical components applying systematic engineering design methods. • SLO #4: Develop team framework and managementstrategies for design and presentation of a team project.
DRFTG 8C Engineering Product Development • SLO #1: Develop complex CAD parametric solid modelsfor the automotive, aerospace, machinery, and consumer product industry applying higher order modeling methods. • SLO #2: Analyze CAD solid modelsand assemblies applying strength and motion tests. • SLO #3: Designand Develop a prototype for a product applying systematic engineering design methods. • SLO #4: Select materials and manufacturing processes by analyzing design and cost requirements for products. • SLO #5: Present thedevelopment of a product justifying design methods through information research and prototyping.
Closing the Loop • Changed textbook for DRFTG 8A for better readings. • Added dimensional analysis component in assignments. • Reworded questions but left the time limit the same. (average was an 85%) • Added more isometric sketching problems and approached visualization exercises with hands-on activities. • Teamwork and presentations skills will need to be developed through out semester using WAC activites • Develop stronger assignments for 8C SLOs through industry and library collaboration.
Last Thoughts on Evaluation • Students were made aware of expectations and appreciated that their opinion mattered. • Students completed rubrics for peers but were not considered for final grade • Evaluations methods and peer review of SLOs were well received. • SLO Success Rates • 8A - 84.6% • 8B – 81.9% • 8C – 75.3%
