Arnold Aron’s observes 10, “The kinematics of circular motionin a plane is usually glossed over very quickly because of the obvious parallelism to rectilinearmotion. For students who have genuinely mastered the concepts and relations of rectilinearkinematics, this is appropriate since unnecessary repetition would waste their time.” Thisphilosophical approach has pervasively infiltrated introductory textbooks. Whole chapters aredevoted individually to the topics of velocity, acceleration, etc. while all of rotational kinematicsand sometimes even dynamics are crushed

In themodern marketplace, “soft” professional skills are often considered to be of commensurate valueas “hard” technical skills.10 This provides a challenge for educators, as professional skills oftenmust be mastered through experience, which may be difficult to achieve within the constraints ofa classroom or a single semester. These freshman engineering projects are designed tocomplement students’ classroom education, while supplementing it with team based,collaborative problem solving in a professional

First, faculty were asked todescribe their grading practices. Second, instructors were asked to depict the levels of proficiencylast year’s graduating seniors had attained.For 71% (n = 67) of the respondents, senior capstone design course grades were individuallyassigned based on integrated individual performance. In contrast, nine percent (n = 8) of the facultysaid the final grades received by their capstone students were the same for all team members basedon integrated team performance.

The six levels are given inTable 6. Level 1 is the highest level of proficiency and requires that students independentlyidentify and master new knowledge and skills. Level 6 indicates that a student has little or noexperience in an area. We informed students of a general tendency to overstate one's abilities.To further discourage exaggeration, we required them to report that they had actuallydemonstrated skill levels. Simply thinking that one could accomplish a task was insufficient towarrant a greater proficiency score. It was also decided
