1. School Of Architecture And The Built Environment Civil Engineering Division 5 th International CDIO Conference Assessment of Student CDIO Skills by Ng Geok Ling 8 June 2009

2. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division Content The challenge Quick Overview of CDIO Implementation in CE division Process of integrating CDIO syllabus into module syllabus –Stage 1 : Define and Identify CDIO skills –Stage 2 : Integrate CDIO Skills into Curriculum –Stage 3 : Develop Assessment Rubrics –Stage 4 : Curriculum Evaluation Conclusion Q&A

3. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division The Challenge 2 years ago Implemented but not clearly documented To reflect the integration of CDIO skills into the existing module syllabus To develop an outcome assessment to assess CDIO skills

4. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division CDIO Implementation in CE Stage 1: Define and Identify CDIO skills Stage 2: Integrate CDIO Skills into Curriculum Stage 3: Develop Assessment Rubrics Stage 4: Curriculum Evaluation Improvement to teaching and learning and curriculum

5. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division Stage 1: Define and Identify CDIO skills Obtained expected PL from the industry Students are technologist not engineer Therefore, higher expectation in implementation and operation Expected skills needed in a module to be entered into ITU table

6. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division ITU table I – Introduce but not assess T – teach and assess U – Utilise, may or may not be assess Overall picture of CDIO skills for the course can be seen

7. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division CDIO Implementation in CE Stage 1: Define and Identify CDIO skills Stage 2: Integrate CDIO Skills into Curriculum Stage 3: Develop Assessment Rubrics Stage 4: Curriculum Evaluation Improvement to teaching and learning and curriculum

8. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division Stage 2: Integrate CDIO Skills into Curriculum Example : BE750Y CAD Studio 1 st year module in DCEM Supporting module to BE751Y BTM with capstone project and Intro to Civil Engineering

9. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division Step 1- Means of Assessment Refer to your means of assessment as written in the module syllabus

10. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division Step 2 – Assessment Component Breakdown Breakdown the individual assessment component (as in SAS format) appropriately according to your module needs

11. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division Step 3 – KSA Weightage Breakdown Formulate a table with the CDIO skills you have selected (refer to ITU table) and the assessment components CA and LAB assessment weightage spread across each CDIO skill (1 to 4) Minimum weightage for each skill to be 5% All Tests (TST1,2&3) which are formative assessment are only assigned to technical skills

12. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division Bloom CDIO skill 2 & 3 Revised Table of Specification Current

13. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division Step 4 – Table of Specification in Module syllabus Transfer the total weightage in each row from KSA weightage table KSA Weightage Table Table of Specification

14. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division CDIO Implementation in CE Stage 1: Define and Identify CDIO skills Stage 2: Integrate CDIO Skills into Curriculum Stage 3: Develop Assessment Rubrics Stage 4: Curriculum Evaluation Improvement to teaching and learning and curriculum

15. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division Stage 3 – Develop Assessment Rubric Assessment criteria for technical content –up to module team to define according to the module learning outcome 100/25% x 10% = 40 marks

16. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division Assessment Template – CA1 Student is graded as: 1-poor, 2-Fair, 3-Good, 4-Very Good and 5-Excellent in the column under skill Lecturers refer to criteria table for the detail attributes under each skill Marks auto-calculate = ( 25 / 5 ) x 1 = 5 Scale of 5

17. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division CDIO Implementation in CE Stage 1: Define and Identify CDIO skills Stage 2: Integrate CDIO Skills into Curriculum Stage 3: Develop Assessment Rubrics Stage 4: Curriculum Evaluation Improvement to teaching and learning and curriculum

18. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division Stage 4: Curriculum Evaluation Most important in the process Use assessment results for improvement Ratings of CDIO skill for the course cannot be obtained as not all module have implemented stage 3 Example: at module level, 2 groups of 47 students Not conclusive until more data are collected from all groups doing the same modules

19. School Of ABE Civil Engineering Division Conclusion Helps in develop and manage curriculum integration with CDIO skills Good reference to develop the process of outcome assessment using rubrics To achieve the expected proficiency level progressively over the 3 years of study Defining 3 levels of expected PL in progress
