graduate engineering classes at three universities—and to assess success in a way allowing comparison across classes
(and institutions). This paper describes the attempt to carry out that assessment. Standard methods of assessment
turned out to demand too much class time. Under pressure from instructors, the authors developed an alternative
method that is both specific in content to individual classes and allows comparison across classes. Results are
statistically significant for ethical sensitivity and knowledge. They show measurable improvement in a single
semester. Show less
