In Fall 2020 and Spring 2021,online instructions were offered every week via Microsoft Teams, intending to guide theparticipating middle school students to program virtual robots. All the Teams sessions arerecorded and shared with all the participants, such that the middle school students could visitthem anytime. In addition to online instructions, at least one hour was designated every week forthe mentors (who are female undergraduate students) to work with the participating middleschool students on the online assignments under the supervision of middle

Furthermore, although this characteristic is oftendecomposed into discrete educational outcomes such as teamwork or communication, definingand assessing outcomes necessarily emphasizes skill within a domain rather than synthesis acrossdomains. Thus outcomes-based assessment may be counter-productive to developing soughtafter characteristics of graduates.Introduction and BackgroundThis paper examines one of the foundations of modern engineering education, defining andmeasuring educational outcomes, through the lens of philosophy, or “truth estimation” [1].

He suspended a 28-kg iron coated lead ball from a height of 67-m fromthe dome of the Panthéon, Paris, France [1].
