Methodology• Formative

• Qualitative measurement

• Summative• Retrospective Post-then-Pre

Questions adapted from Student Assessment of Learning Gains (SALG)

THEDURHAMSCHOOLof ARCHITECTUAL ENGINEERING and CONSTRUCTION

SELF REPORTED LEARNING GAINS

• Did you realize before doing the simulation that a temporary bridge would be in order?

• What elements of the simulation helped you learn best?

• Did you use the “Ask a Consultant?” What did you learn from this resource?

• Rate your ability to manage a single span bridge project…

After the simulation: 1 2 3 4 5 Before the simulation: 1 2 3 4 5

Initial Results• Sept 2011, Advisory Committee

provided useful feedback

• Pilot assessment early April

• Review results with Advisory Committee in early May
