Student Engagement and Faculty Best Practices towards Student learning Outcomes in Engineering Education

Abstract

The Engineering National Survey of Student Engagement (E-NSSE) and its faculty version, the Engineering Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (E-FSSE) are two new instruments designed to identify "best instructional practices" in engineering education and achieve certain learning outcomes desired of engineering graduates. This paper provides preliminary analysis in the validation process of the E-FSSE survey that began in October, 2006. Thus far, three of the nine universities in the validation project have completed the survey, via the web. This paper provides some preliminary analysis in the validation process and next steps. Several more validation steps are necessary before analysis is complete.
