This study presents the opinions of students on the evaluation of their satisfaction with the instructional facilitation of a postgraduate diploma in technology management programme in Nigeria. Data was collected with a modified version of the standardised Evaluation of Educational Quality Questionnaire (SEEQ) and analysed, using item mean rating. The survey which was undertaken in October, 2014 evaluated six out of the fifteen facilitators engaged for second semester of the 2013/2014. The objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of facilitation of the programme based on students’ viewpoints. Overall ratings from the grand mean score of 4.67 indicated “very good” performance. Students also rated facilitators higher than teachers/ lecturers they had encountered in their previous studies which is an indication of their level of satisfaction with instructional facilitation at the Study Centre.

In the last decade, there has been quantum increase in applications of Six sigma in service organizations. However, academic organizations have legged other organizations in applying Six sigma. Education is emerging as major commercial activity in the service sector, and institutions are realizing the significance of quality improvement in education. Quality in education is no more a desirable strategy; it has become essential for the survival of an institution. The paper illustrates how Six sigma may be used to improve performance parameters of a technical institution. The authors have identified critical to quality characteristics and proposed a team structure for successful implementation of a Six sigma project. The authors have further recommended findings along with an implementation control plan based on a Six sigma case study of technical institution located in National Capital Region (NCR) in India.

In fact, the lack of professional skills in project teams has been identified among the most important factors contributing to the high failure rate of complex engineering projects. As a response, academic programs have incorporated professional skills in their curricula. However, there are challenges in the assessment of learning outcomes related to professional skills. This paper presents a novel assessment framework based on the Model of Domain Learning, to assess students’ development in professional skills across different disciplines. The proposed assessment model can be tailored to various learning objectives and student levels to facilitate integration of the assessment of professional skills into an overall program assessment plan. An empirical study, which assesses the teamwork communication skills, is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed framework and its advantages as compared to other traditional assessment rubrics in engineering and technology education.

The main vehicle for this approach is simple Lego based robots programmed in Java, followed by the programming of a graphical representation/simulation to develop programming skills. Problem solving is not trivial (Beaumont & Fox, 2003) and is an important skill, central to computing and engineering. The paper extends the authors earlier research on problems first and problem solving (Hill & Turner, 2011) to further emphasise the importance of problem-solving, problem based learning and the benefits of both physical and visual solutions. An approach will be considered, illustrated with a series of problem-solving tasks that increase in complexity at each stage and give the students practice in attempting problem-solving approaches, as well as assisting them to learn from their mistakes. Some of the problems include ambiguities or are purposely ill-defined, to enable the student to resolve these as part of the process. The benefits to students will be discussed including students' statements that this approach, using robots, provides a method to visually and physically see the outcome of a problem. In addition, students report that the method improves their satisfaction with the course. The importance of linking the problem-solving robot activity and the programming assignment, whilst maintaining the visual nature of the problem, will be discussed, together with the comparison of this work with similar work reported by other authors relating to teaching programming using robots (Williams, 2003). In addition, limitations will be discussed relating to the access to the physical robots and the alternative attempts to simulate the robots using three options of, Microsoft Robotics Studio (MSRS), Lego Mindstorms and Greenfoot simulators.","PeriodicalId":13684,"journal":{"name":"Int.
