Abstract

Team-based projects in a new Measurement Systems course are presented with assessment for ABET Student Outcome 7. The first project is an exploration of strain gages and the second project is an exploration of data acquisition, encoders, and accelerometers. ABET Student Outcome 7 is split into two sub-outcomes. Both projects address the first sub-outcome and project one (strain gages) also addresses the second sub-outcome. A rubric is used to capture multiple dimensions of each sub-outcome with indicators of Unsatisfactory, Minimal, Adequate, or Exemplary (UMAE) and report the percentage of student teams achieving Adequate or Exemplary. Specific to the data presented, additional efforts are needed to improve student assessment of the quality of information and citing sources.
