MechanicalEngineering faculty at the University of Clemson recently reviewed their laboratory curriculumand concluded that identifying the strengths and weaknesses of peer’s reports helped students tobetter understand what to do and what not to do12.Peer reviews were implemented in a variety of ways in engineering curricula. In some cases,peer review was used for a single report or group project in which the reviewers were notintimately familiar with the topic5, 6, 9. The intent of this approach was to assure that students canidentify missing content, whereas if they already understand the topic well, they may fill in theomitted context on their own. Peer

separate thermodynamics and fluidmechanics texts removed the requirement for a supplemental text, the drawbacks to this approachwere significant.We traded two books for two books, required students to navigate non-sequentially through thesebooks for two semesters, and reinforced student perception that fluid mechanics andthermodynamics are vastly different fields of study. This last result struck at one of the coreprinciples which initially drove the integration of the two courses into one two-course sequence.These frustrations fueled the decision to develop a text tailored to the integrated two-coursesequence as taught at West Point. It was during this writing project that many of the integrationand consistency issues which had been easy to

After marking, scripts would be returned to theirowners, who were asked to check them quickly, before they were collected by the TA. It wasthen the job of the TA to take the scripts away and ensure that each student had participatedcorrectly by providing an adequate script and marking correctly someone else‟s.

They perceivefewer differences than seem to actually exist. Perhaps this is due to their lack of experience.Why do these perceived differences exist? The data obtained from this project cannot answerthis question, but it is important to understand these preconceptions may exist among groups andindividuals so that problems in the design process may be avoided.These data may also be analyzed in another way that could be useful.
