Many engineering educators have employed combining students fromEngineering and other academics disciplines in senior capstone design courses [3-6].

The associated data collection plan for each outcome, as shown below in Table 3 below, is to have at least one course in the engineering common core to ensure that all students regardless of their area of concentration, electrical engineering or mechanical engineering, are in the sample. The courses being listed below are to (1) illustrate the selection process in order to achieve the desired distribution of curriculum to be assessed, and (2)demonstrate the inclusivity of desired student population in the measurements

decrease in score (lab #2 tolab #3) and then minimal increase for the final lab assignment (lab #3 to lab #4). Whentransitioning from lab #2 to lab #3, students were required to write all sections of the lab, whichmay detract effort from other sections of the lab leading to the decrease in score. The minimalincrease we see in score from lab #3 to lab #4 may indicate growth in all sections. In the future, we plan to continue evaluating writing samples in our database, approximately120 so far, while adding more writing samples to the database from other courses utilizing thesame template. Once all samples are graded, we will be able to assess graduate student writingskills and undergraduate writing skills. Additionally, within our graduate

Both courses must be from the systems engineering core component that is completed by all students. 2. The achievement of each SOs should include the assessment of all components of that particular SO. 3. The methodology of measurement should be straightforward, measuring directly the achievement of the SO by measuring the achievement of its component parts instead of by indirect means such as measuring the accomplishment of course learning objectives and then mapping the objectives to the SO. 4.

: Before the semester started, I had simply planned to teach the class based mostly on a very lecture-centered focus. That is, I planned to be talking during most of the lecture time. However, the training made me realize the importance of getting students to participate in the learning process. I was able to brainstorm ideas about how to get the students involved. This led to the creation of worksheets that I used during the latter half of the course.The results of ranking the seven practices indicate that participants shifted priorities among theoptions presented. For instance, one participant responded, “Although I was aware of most ofthese concepts to some extent, I thought reviewing the 7 best practices in teaching was
