A faculty member from Norwich University who ispart of the project team introduced other Norwich University faculty to the EPSA method. Thispaper describes how the EPSA scenarios and the EPSA rubric are being implemented in the“Ethics” section of a senior level “Professional Issues”.EPSA Customization at Norwich UniversityIn the Fall 2013 semester the EPSA Method was incorporated into two sections of NorwichUniversity’s EG450-Professional Issues.

During the course, students individually generate a black box and functional model for the course project as homework. Feedback is provided on their homework, and using the feedback, students then work as a team to arrive at revised black box and functional models for the course project. It is this revised team functional model that becomes the basis for morphological matrix based concept generation and function-based failure analysis. 20• Mechanics & Materials: In the mechanics and materials course, students taught from Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design, 21 are

instructor is asked to map a course outcome to a particular studentactivity/evaluative component. Examples include a particular problem on an exam, a homework,a project report etc. This approach is consistent with the notion of direct assessment andleverages the fact that the instructor is going to evaluate the chosen component irrespective ofthe assessment need, since it contributes to the course grade. The instructor is also asked to set acriteria that reflects the demonstration of the particular outcome. For example the instructor,having chosen a homework on uncertainty analysis as the activity to reflect ability to applyknowledge of mathematics and engineering, may set the criteria for attainment as a 75% score onthe HW.

From the authors’teaching experience, the coping detail in particular, is difficult for students to comprehend from2-D sketches.One way to remedy this problem is to take students to actual construction sites.
