Prior to that, he conducted his doctoral studies at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland and his master’s degree at the University of Alberta, and he worked for several years in a structural consulting firm in Edmonton spe- cializing primarily in institutional building design. His research focuses on various issues related to steel and aluminum structures, including fatigue performance, connection design, and pedestrian-induced vi- bration design. His research employs a broad range of tools, including: fracture mechanics, structural reliability, and life-cycle cost analysis and laboratory testing. He is currently the Director of Waterloo’s new Architectural Engineering program
required to apply basic physics and engineeringprinciples to build a simple speaker. The only change made to this course this semester was theaddition of the project assignment. The course has a three credit hour “lecture” component and aone credit hour laboratory component. The project scores were incorporated as part of the lecturecomponent of the course. This paper briefly discusses our department’s assessment plan and adescription of the speaker project assignment, including how SLO (2) is assessed and samplestudent work.Physics and Engineering Physics assessment plan at Our UniversityThe assessment plans of most programs ATU rely on an "I, R, M” (introduce, reinforce, master)curriculum mapping.

In addition, their individual bilge pump hasbeen partially fabricated, so they have been exposed to concepts such as tolerance, readingdrawings, the selection of the appropriate drill size to properly tap a hole, and the basic use of amill, lathe and drill press for fabrication of aluminum components. They practice removingmaterial on the lathe at 1 mil, 2 mil, and up to 5 mil at a time to visually experience what thatlooks like. They keep notes on the provided bilge pump drawings as to changes that they wouldmake to improve the drawings.The students then take a break from machining during the laboratory period, as outlined in Table1, and learn to create their bilge pump in SolidWorks

This survey, which took approximately tenminutes to complete, was a slightly modified version of the Friday Institute’s S-STEM survey[16] which has been shown to be a valid instrument for understanding student attitudes fordifferent STEM disciplines. Second, focus group interviews related to attitudes and interests inengineering were conducted. The focus group protocol and questions were created by the team ofresearchers to address specific topics around the research questions including student interest andidentity around engineering tasks.

The ETW also encourages using a variety of assignments based on the time available, the purpose of the assessment, and the cognitive level of the learning objective as part of the Planning a Class seminar and the development of in- class and out-of-class activities. The ETW should, as a minimum, include the added benefit of assessing a wider diversity of students by using a variety of assignments in this discussion. Of course, this wider variety of assignments will be more successful in smaller class sizes where the student-faculty interaction is greater and effective

involved, as acentral element, the understanding of people groups and their needs; the students developed ideasresponsive to these needs. In the innovation course the students developed new ideas forproducts and services using creativity and ideation techniques, which were the central coursecontent. The upshot was that the projects were developed in periods ranging from several weeksto a few months, all in the context of courses emphasizing design methods. These origins ofprojects stand in contrast to the projects seen in NSF I-Corps, which are typically the result oflonger-term research from university laboratories by personnel who are emotionally invested inthis research and its products. In the courses studied here, the students’ projects
