the author developedand implemented a plan to improve the ME senior seminar based on the course evaluation results.About ME Senior SeminarThe ME senior seminar is a highly focused and topical course. Its purpose is to acquaint studentswith a sufficiently broad spectrum of policies, practices, procedures, and ethics in mechanicalengineering. It is a one credit course so a 50-min session per week is devoted to lectures, but twoto three hours of outside classwork per week are required. The author joined SDSU in July 2021and started to teach this class in the fall semester. It is worth mentioning that the author had nevertaught such a class before.Based on the ultimate goal of senior seminars and industry expectations for mechanicalengineering

, [6] found that during atransition from quarters to semesters, students faced increased anxiety levels about graduating ontime, new degree requirements, and credit conversions. As another example, there is fear ofadditional faculty workload under the new system [7].Initial curriculum development We approached the curriculum design using a backward design approach [8], [9]. Thisapproach has three stages: 1. Identify design results, 2. Determine acceptable evidence, and 3.Plan learning experiences and instruction. It includes establishing curricular priorities ofknowledge and skills of enduring understanding, important to know and do, and worth beingfamiliar with. The design results that we identified were the goals of the curriculum

This plan includes curriculum additions such as reviewof DFM case studies, a hands-on casting lab, and machining observation, although the majorityof the course would be self-paced and taught through computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)software tutorials and computer projects.

Rubrics areguides for scoring student work and ABET recommends their use in assessment [2]. Rubricsdecompose student outcomes into performance indicators (PIs), increase inter-rater reliability, anddefine performance levels. Assessment of outcomes 3–7 in capstone has been described [3], ashas a multidisciplinary capstone project in which all seven SOs are assessed [4]; however, thosepapers do not include the related rubrics.
