a high focusprogram-curriculum. However, the exception that is made in the capstone project coursewhere the students are assessed on several program outcomes must be looked into.Every program outcome is assessed by more than one course (high coverage and high validityProgram-curriculum). However, some of the program outcomes are assessed by only thecourses and no other tool, which is an issue that may require attention (high coveragemedium validity program). Again, excluding the capstone, the program assessment has Highfocus.Now looking at the capstone, not all the outcomes of the capstone are assessed. This could be Page 23.60.15an

equations. Assignmentproblems have included rigorous hand-work such as assembling stiffness matrices, as well ascomputer based solutions through non-specific computational software such as Excel orMATLAB®. The course traditionally has not included any exposure to, or instruction in, the useof commercial FEA software.Past feedback from advisory committees, capstone sponsors, senior exit surveys, and otheranecdotal evidence clearly indicated a problem with the curriculum’s approach to finiteelements. While program graduates may be well versed in the theory, there is strong evidencethat they are not skilled its proper application through the use of commercial FEA software.Common observations included poorly posed problems, unnecessary computational

, following the completion of each assignmentwill be able to read the summaries of the discussions created by the students in the various groupsand look for common misconceptions which can help tailor the future direction of the course or,possibly, the way the course is taught in future offerings.4. Prototype SystemWe are currently in the process of implementing a prototype version of the PICOLA system. Thisis the design/implementation project in the capstone design course in our Computer Science andEngineering (CSE) program. Thus the students who will work on the prototype are CSE majorswho are in the final semester of their programs. Most of these students have extensive experience inimplementing large scale software systems as part of their
