The Foundation Coalition, a program sponsored by the National Science
Foundation, has implemented bold initiatives to change the way engineers
are educated. The Foundation Coalition (FC) incorporates several
strategies to: (a) reform engineering curricula, (b)
increase student performance, and (c) evaluate reform with
appropriate, authentic assessment. Continuous improvement through
assessment and evaluation of engineering programs is a core value
of the FC. As a result, a number of useful assessment instruments
have been developed by FC participants. This document showcases
a few of these assessment tools: the UMD Team Process Check (TPC),
Team Knowledge Test (TKT), Web-based Student Survey System, Freshman
Engineering Attitude Survey (FEAS), Freshman Engineering Perception
Test (FEPT), and Sophomore Engineering Perception Test (SEPT). Contact
information for the developers of these tools is provided. If you
would like try these tools in your program, contact the developers.
