Dr. Wahjudi and Dr. Pu invited as part of Standard Setting Study

Dr. Paulus Wahjudi and Dr. Cong Pu invited as part of the Educational Testing Services Standard Setting Study

Dr. Wahjudi and Dr. Pu will join representatives from other states in the Standard Setting Study for the Computer Science Praxis. Standard setting is the methodology used to define levels of achievement or proficiency and the cut scores corresponding to those levels. It is a critical component of the test development process and representatives are chosen based of their appropriate experience and expertise to make the necessary judgments required to recommend passing scores for beginning school teachers.

We look forward to seeing you at this year’s conference.  Please feel free to forward this email to any engineer that may be interested in attending this year’s conference.  If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact either myself or our student chapter president, Logan Stacks (stacksl@marshall.edu).

Dr. Paulus Wahjudi to serve on the Educational Testing Service National Advisory Committee

The Educational Testing Service National Advisory Committee plays an importantdw_s role in providing expert input into the development process for the Praxis tests. ETS selects a group of approximately 12 – 15 educators from the nominees provided by the states to form a committee that is diverse with respect to gender, race and ethnicity, geography, instructional setting, and experience. The NAC will work closely with ETS assessment specialists to develop test specifications and test designs. NAC members may also be invited to write and/or review questions at a later date.

Tesla Industrial Hygiene Internship

Austin Davies, a B.S. in Safety Technology major, just finished a summer internship working with Tesla Motors Inc. in their new Fremont, California plant. Austin explain that he chose safety technology as a major because it is a fast growing and rewarding field with endless opportunities and positive ways to make a difference.

Austin went on to state that “working with Tesla gave him the experience of working in extremely fast paced environment with no room for error. This summer I have learned and gained priceless hands-on experience in the field of Industrial Hygiene. ”

Austin’s projects at Tesla included working with engineers to provide technical expertise on the hazards of chemicals by reviewing safety data sheets for incoming products; creating and executing air sampling projects; gaining experience on new sampling methods from NIOSH and OSHA; conducting occupational noise exposure monitoring; supporting the respirator program components and compliance; training new hires on Tesla’s hearing conservation program and updating the heat illness policy for the Fremont facility
