benefit is determined using a four-parameter “S-shaped” function of bridge strength.Grades are assigned using a weighted comparison of bridge profits (82%) and the group’saccuracy in predicting the strength of their bridge (18%) according to profit and accuracy gradestandards established at the beginning of the semester. Thus, although it is considered acompetition, students do not compete for grades, as there is a fixed and predetermined standardthat determines each project’s grade. The current group design project is intended to provide a range of learning experiencesfor the freshman engineers. First being a group project it is intended to introduce freshmanengineers to collaborative design and division of labor within a project. Second

Once again, the most gain was made with questions 2 and 5.Due to the differences in point distribution with the removal of quesiton 1 for the second year, itis not possible to perform direct statistical anaylsis between the two years. However it is stillpossible to make some observations. It is surprising to see all the 0’s on question 2 whenlooking at the points distribution for the 2010 post-test. The amount invalid samples (incompletetests) for 2009/2010 was also remarkable. Both years showed improvement on questions 2 and5. Question 2 addressed Quality Function Deployment while question 5 addressed the content ofprogress reports. These are both topics that are directly applied to design projects in this

It is possible that students’ self-assessments do reflect something of value and interest, such as confidence, that could be usefulin the improvement of instruction and course material, but they do not show a strong orconsistent correlation with performance on actual problems in Statics.Bibliography1.

If students are familiar with basic statistical techniques wecan differentiate between random and systematic errors and show that random errors can bereduced by averaging the results of repeated measurement. In this case, for random errors, therange can be replaced with  2s / n , where s is the experimental standard deviation and n is thenumber of samples averaged.
