Overview of the tool/method
The central focus for the Gateway Coalition is the development of students
as emerging professionals. This broad statement emphasizes ideas that have
been subordinate to the delivery of technical content and the corresponding
increase of student technical knowledge and technical problem solving capability.
In addition to these more traditional goals the Gateway Coalition affirms
the importance of: leadership; teaming; organization; historical, social
and political contexts; as well as business, science and technical pedagogy.
In accordance with the above over-arching goals, the Gateway Coalition
innovations emphasize the following "core" skills: analytical skills, communication
skills, creative problem-solving, life-long learning, research skills,
project management, systems thinking, teamwork skills, and technical competency.
The Faculty Team Review team evaluation tool available from the links above
is an example of how many of the Gateway institutions provide feedback
to their student teams as to how well a team has succeeded in learning
and practicing certain ABET 2000 - related competencies. The survey provided
here is what Drexel uses for their Freshman Design Course team projects.
