, Satisfactory, and Outstanding.The BME program is an integral part of the Mechanical Engineering (ME) Department whichhas been accredited since 1965. Hence, many courses are offered as part of the mechanicalengineering curriculum. Thus, it was necessary to separate the assessment of the BME studentlearning outcomes from the assessment of the class. By using the program-specific rubrics, onlythe students enrolled in the BME program were evaluated within each class, even though theclass contained a larger number of students. It is important to note that the ME program hasemployed several different methods of assessment throughout the years. During the last visit,rubrics were employed.2.

PBL is a constructivist philosophy ofteaching that creates an interactive learning environment encouraging students to work together,commonly in teams, to find solutions to problems. PBL is based on the principle that whenstudents identify their own learning needs they are able to research, discuss, and analyze whathas been discovered. Thus, through sharing concepts

To avoid increasing the coursedeliverables to seven reports, the original six reports were re-structured into five reports. Thiswas done by re-distributing and in many cases combining the deliverables more evenly across allreports. Only one deliverable content was eliminated, although this content was still included inthe lectures. In addition to changes to the Oral Reports, instructors addressed the addition of SEtopics in the course using a couple of methods.

This “simplification” of some aspects of the design could give the students anopportunity to actually build and hand off the system, in addition to designing it, within the timeconstraints of an academic schedule. For example, they could design the system and constructportions throughout a semester-length independent study project, then spend a week or two on-site during the summer with a contractor installing the system and handing it off

With the success of case-basedinstruction seen in medical and law curriculums, an increasing number of science, technology,engineering and math (STEM) instructors have begun to integrate cases into their courses. A newchampion for the use of cases in the sciences emerged in 1994 with the work of Herried andfunding from the National Science Foundation to form the National Center for Case StudyTeaching in the Sciences (NCCSTS).
