questions.While we are just launching our validation effort, it is worth commenting on some criticalmethodological issues related to the two main approaches we are now pursuing. The firstapproach is among the most widely used for scoring SJT items. It involves utilizing a smallgroup of SMEs (i.e., job incumbents with extensive global experience) who identify best andworst options, or rate each response option on a continuum using a Likert-type scale (e.g., from1=least desirable behavior/action to 5=most desirable behavior/action). A test-taker’s answerswill then be compared to the SME ratings; the more similarities between SME ratings and thetest-taker’s answers, the higher scores s/he would receive. This presumes that responses collectedfrom SMEs

methods include the use of content experts, reviews of existinginstruments, and lists of behaviors and descriptors commonly associated with the construct(s) wewish to assess. Unfortunately, however, item creation sometimes becomes overly dependentupon a researcher’s personal attitudes about the construct(s) being tested, or on “borrowing”items from other instruments that may or may not be sound measures of the construct(s) ofinterest. These risks are particularly likely for new researchers in engineering education, whomay have little experience with best practices in social science research.One way to support best practices in the development of new surveys and assessments is to usean instrument blueprint to guide the creation of items, as well

SolidWorks Flow Simulation was performed using thefollowing estimated parameters:  Velocity 1m/s  Fan swirl 2rad/s  Turbulence intensity 5%  Turbulence length 0.0254m.These parameters and the physical model require refinement based on both measured data andboundary conditions. In SolidWorks, one boundary condition that is pre-programmed for the useris a fan. However, initial experience with this boundary condition indicates that there may not bea convenient way to simulate the rather large center hub area of the real condenser unit fan thathas no blade surface and does have a vacuum. This might be simulated by working on theaccuracy of the fan swirl estimate and by either putting a blocking plate in the center of the fanopening in

Furthermore, this gives them the experience of how prototypes and client feedbacktranslate into the finished product. This was also observed by Mohan and Chenoweth 9: it isimportant that students “carry their requirements projects forward into design and development,sufficiently that they can see the importance of the time spent learning to do requirements” 9.Nevertheless, it is important to note that student teams spend the larger part of the semester(about 70%) interacting with the client, building mockup/prototype(s) and obtaining clientfeedback, which they then use to create their SRS
