applied to two different drivers on the same track.With this metric, areas for driver improvement could be identified and potentially be used toguide an event-specific driver selection process or personalize driver training.Student learning objectives linked to ABET outcomes are described in the context of how theyare assessed in this course. Results from student self-efficacy surveys and student achievementon assignments are presented and discussed as they apply to ABET outcomes b, g, i, and k.IntroductionAuthentic engineering experiences, such as student competitions, sponsored projects, designclinics, and project-based learning modules have been incorporated broadly within theundergraduate curricula to enhance student learning. The challenges

duringsummer programs2 and here we employed a similar assessment process.Pre-program questionnaires were sent to the students and were completed before the startof the program. This included asking the students to provide their backgrounds, relevantclasses they had taken, and their learning expectations from the program. During theprogram, assessments are completed at the end of each day and students are asked to reflecton the effectiveness in delivery of content, their self-efficacy ratings in material presented,instructors rating and any feedback for improvement. We anonymized the data daily andsent it to the instructors. Post-program evaluations covered feedback on the program,learnings from each student, and self-efficacy of the content. Students

explicitly ask them to display and explain their output displays before theyleave. This is a time-consuming activity; to create time to do this, we have reduced the numberof required tasks in each lab, allowing us and the students to concentrate on a few, criticalconcepts. In this way, we are able to verify assure that students understand what they have doneand they can correct errors before they leave lab.Our third problem-solving activity for the students involves the validation of their results byquantifying uncertainty and identifying discrepancies between predictions and measured results.While it is not unusual for lab instructors to require that uncertainty be quantified, we askstudents to take the extra step of discussing uncertainty in depth
