Strengthening Student Learning: From Outcome-based to Process-based Learning

This workshop introduces a shift towards process-level outcomes in engineering education, focusing on equipping educators with the means to foster critical thinking, reflection, and a growth mindset among students. Central to the workshop is a hands-on approach where participants actively engage in redefining knowledge-related learning objectives from existing courses into process-oriented outcomes. Educators will start crafting a rubric for self-assessment that embodies these new learning outcomes and development steps, setting the stage for the design of the educational experience. This practical exercise not only enhances the applicability of the concepts but also ensures educators leave with actionable tools to implement a more engaged, reflective learning environment. By focusing on process in addition tooutcomes and by incorporating active participation in rubric creation, the workshop aligns with the latest educational research, promising impact on engineering education by introducing educators to new transformative ways of teaching.
