The results of each 4-student team’s work arepresented across two full lecture days (100 minutes, total). Students are expected to bring theclass up to speed on the basics of the technology, to discuss its history and current state of theart, and to project and predict future improvements and applications using all of the toolsdeveloped during the semester.Students carrying out their semester presentations prepare and hand out notes and referencematerials just as an instructor would do.

Furthermore, theprogram must demonstrate that there is a continuous improvement process in place. For newprograms or existing programs, transition to this new outcomes-based approach can be difficult.At many institutions the program outcomes are assessed using various rubrics. Course content ismapped directly to the program outcomes and student grades are used to show the level ofachievement of the program outcomes. Faculty course assessment reports are used to measureand document the program outcomes3,4,5. Capstone courses are where culminating projects aregiven to the students.

As important as it is forstudents to meet the stated criteria, it is difficult to evaluate students’ critical thinkingwhen only seeing the end result of the process. Critical thinking is a reflective process; toassess it, we must “get inside the student’s head”. Students must self report what theirthought processes were and that must be done in the narrative form - either orally or inwriting.

In a survey of instructors at eight engineering schools Felder6 found that24% always assigned a group project while another 52% assigned them in some courses. Whilethere are pragmatic reasons for such teams (reduced grading load) their use is grounded in thereality of the engineering profession: the vast majority of graduates will spend their professionallives working in teams.
