Download Rubric for Peer Review of Lab Reports I mentioned this resource in one of the plenary sessions at the 2015 FOEE. These are the peer review instructions I provide to my sophomore students in an Introduction to Materials class. This process has dramatically improved the quality of lab reports that I see, and students seem to understand and appreciate it. Because these students have little or no experience reviewing, I scaffold the process as much as possible with detailed rubrics. The rubrics also allow my TA to grade the initial submissions and peer reviews for me. Resource Added: November 18, 2015 26KB, DOCX
Download American Association of Engineering Societies (AAES) Engineering Competency Model AAES is proud to be able to announce the release of the Engineering Competency Model. We believe it will provide valuable guidance for the development of the engineering workforce. We extend our thanks to our Lifelong Learning Working Group for leading this effort in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Labor and also thank the United Engineering Foundation for funding this endeavor. For more information, please visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Competency Model Clearinghouse (http://www.careeronestop.org/CompetencyModel/competency-models/engineering.aspx) and the AAES Engineering Competency Model webpage (http://www.aaes.org/model). If you have any questions, please contact Melissa Prelewicz, AAES’ Associate Executive Director, at mprelewicz@aaes.org. We look forward to working with stakeholders to use the model in ways that enhance the engineering community. Resource Added: November 10, 2015 416KB, PDF
