A compromise clearly must be struck between achievingas many of these objectives as possible and actually being able to secure projects.

However, much less research focuses on thedevelopment of such courses and programs and how they evolved to the current state. One of thefew studies that reported this process was conducted by Froyd and Rogers [1] in the 90’s thatanalyzes the process of development and creation of a first year engineering program, and therehave not been more significant studies since then that focus on first year engineering programs.We consider that research describing the process of development and improvement of first yearprograms is important and necessary in engineering

We spoke to the faculty prior to their use of the rubric tohighlight each of the items and what they were intended to measure. The faculty have alsoworked extensively with the course’s project rubrics and hence the authors feel comfortable withwhat should be looked for in student’s report when grading.ConclusionsWe implemented a project related to the design of children’s toys, that leverage the principles ofUniversal Design, in a multidisciplinary, first-year engineering course. The project alsointentionally integrated aspects of EM by incorporating them into the overall project learningoutcomes
the end-of-course review process. Any flag in assessment must have a documented discussion about it, whether it includes anyrecommended course improvements or not. It was decided to have two levels of flags for low performance, and onlyone for high performance in order to not oversaturate the process. The green flags are good for indicating what maybe excessively high grades and their implications, but between a 2.0 and 2.75 EAMU Average computes to an averagegrade in the 80’s, and this is not considered excessively high, particularly since the institution is considered “highlyselective.” The flags being triggers for discussion ensures that ABET assessment is directly tied to curricularcontinuous improvement. Flags are also addressed in the

If no, theform ended. If yes, the form continued and asked questions such as which module(s) they taught,how much time they spent, and their use of materials among other things. The focus of the analysisconducted here was on the second to last question of the survey which focused on teacherreactions. The question asked about teacher concerns: “Please describe your reactions to thisweek’s spatial skills teaching? (e.g., anything especially helpful? hard? Confusing?).

This survey proved critical as it wasused by the CEBOK3TC to determine which outcome statements should be revised and to develop theappropriate levels of achievement for the outcomes.Following the first full draft of the CEBOK3 outcome rubrics, the CEBOK3TC developed and conducted afinal survey seeking input on the outcomes. The survey was structured to allow respondents to providefeedback only on the outcomes they wished to review. Once the respondent selected the outcome(s) ofinterest, they were
