However, the advantage of catchingthem at this position in the departmental study plan is that the students were also more aware ofthe potential benefit of the course on their career, and the concept of adding this course project totheir resume was very attractive. In spite of catching the students at the end of their collegeexperience, the classroom demographics were favorable. When making decisions on the applicability of any set of techniques or approaches toteaching a course, several factors must be balanced.

The junior year is also keyin the transition from novice to expert when students receive the last of their technicalpreparations before their senior capstone design courses. The use of common industry simulationsoftware also increases course diversity and helps to push students into higher levels ofdevelopment such as early or higher multiplicity. In Perry’s theory of development, this refers towhen students admit that multiple answers are possible and instructors might not know theanswer (a common experience in capstone design courses).25Previous work done in the Fall of 2015 on the orbital mechanics class found that students whoperform better on questions

First-year engineering courses cover a variety of learningobjectives that address both technical and professional outcomes outlined in ABET. Thesecourses also often involve open-ended design and modeling projects. The assessment of multiplecompetencies along with open-ended design can be a challenging task for educators. In thispaper, we describe a framework that guides instructional processes for effective assessment forstudent learning

Engineering educators have steadily incorporated problem-based learning exercises,projects and capstone experiences into undergraduate engineering education. Problem-basedLearning (PBL) has been one technique introduced in order to bring ‘real life’ problems into theclassroom. Those educational exercises, particularly PBL, emphasize information-seeking as askill that will be developed through participation in the exercise.
