Rezension

Once again, Dr. John Heywood assembles and synthesizes a vast amount of data and literature into a readable and thoughtful discussion of an important issue, assessment. Given current debates on what should be assessed and what should be included in accreditation of engineering programs, this is a timely book that will be an invaluable resource for engineering educators and all who care about preparing effective engineers. Dr. Heywood's holistic approach challenges readers to reexamine their assumptions about learning, teaching, and assessment.
