Abstract

One way to work on improving engineering education is to collect and use student feedback about lecturers’ teaching quality. However, as a lecturer in engineering education, it is not always easy to obtain such feedback. Therefore, the Impact! tool was developed. Students fill in a short questionnaire anonymously right at the end of the lecture just delivered. The questions reflect scientifically investigated characteristics of effective lessons. Summaries of students’ ratings are provided to lecturers. This way, student perceptions could be an important basis for lecturers’ reflections on their teaching and, how their lectures can be improved. Workshop participants will experience using the Impact! tool and we will discus how student feedback can be used effectively for improving engineering education. Moreover, results of research into the use of the impact tool will be presented and discussed.
