There is widespread concern that academic programs have become less demanding, resulting in graduates who lack the intellectual skills needed to thrive in their careers and as lifelong learners. The narrative about rigor has focused on workload demands, standards, and expectations. In contrast,a definition of rigor states that it is an “academic challenge that supports learning and growth in students” and includes “deep, inquiry- and equity-based learning that sufficiently challenges and encourages all students to achieve their full potential, including both academic and broader development.”

Concept maps (cmaps) are a direct assessment method that can provide a snapshot or visual representation of students’ conceptual understanding through nodes (concepts) and links (connections between concepts).
This interactive workshop will introduce a research-based toolkit for designing cmap assignments and scoring cmaps in undergraduate engineering classes. An example of scoring the cmaps will be provided. The toolkit includes short videos, instructional guides, and templates that: (1) introduce cmaps as a teaching and learning tool, (2) illustrate four types of cmap activities, (3) demonstrat ...

1. Dr. Maria-Isabel Carnasciali

   Merrimack College

   Maria-Isabel Carnasciali’s NSF-funded research focused on the nontraditional engineering student – understanding their motivations, identity development, and impact of prior engineering-related experiences. Her current work dwells into learning in informal settings such as summer camps, military experiences, and extra-curricular activities. She is a strong proponent that much of the learning students do takes place outside the classroom – be it working on projects, participating in service-learning activities, or in the multitude of clubs and activities available on campus.
