After the final question has been answered, the student's grade will be displayed to thestudent if the author so chooses.The CAPE model which accomplishesthis is shown in Figure 1. The authorneed be concerned with providing datafor only three structured collections ofdata, or condition sets. Condition Set(CS) 'Input' contains input parameters,problem statements, and the name of thefirst question to be presented to thestudent. Calculations that lead to thecorrect answer(s) and diagnosedincorrect answers are placed in CS'Compute.' All of the informationassociated with each question and itsassociated diagnostics

projects for senior design, i.e. they have a feeling for theamount of work required for a project. Another benefit to the students is their ability to practicethe complete design process in a safe environment where a “less than exceptional” designsolution is not devastating to the student. Since all student teams are working on solutions to acommon problem, the demonstration of multiple feasible solutions to an open-ended problem isencouraging to many students. A benefit to the instructors in the senior design sequence is theability of the students to “hit the ground running” with their projects in the subsequent quarter.Bibliography1. Sheppard, S., and R.

The lowest scores were for adequacy of the physical facilitiesand the instructional resources.For Spring of 2005, the undergraduates rated all nine areas higher than 6.0. The undergraduatesgave the highest scores to the effectiveness in demonstrating significance of the subject matterand the instructor’s interest in whether or not the students understood the course content. Theundergraduates gave the lowest scores for clarity of instructor’s interpretation of abstract ideasand adequacy of physical facilities. The graduate students rated eight out of nine areas higherthan 6.0. The graduate students

If less than70% of the submissions pass the criteria for a Program Outcome, we are committed to discussingand determining a program-level response. In the past this type of response has includedincreased coverage in multiple courses, assessment in additional classes, major revision of theassignment(s) used to demonstrate the competency in question, and/or reconsideration of therubric used for assessment.Following our initial program-level review, we revisited our performance criteria and rubrics toaddress any inconsistencies or redundancies that had been noticed by the faculty raters. We thenbegan the next cycle of review. As
