Thelaboratories on each campus have equivalent hardware setups, as well as videoconferencingequipment so that faculty can help the students remotely. The primary teacher for this class isbased at UNC, and he occasionally travels to NCSU to work with those students directly. Inaddition, a faculty member at NCSU is present for most classes, and he is available to provideassistance to the NCSU students outside of class. In this manner, the NCSU students haveopportunities to get “in-person” help from a faculty member. Feedback on this experience wasmeasured at mid-semester and at the

formal training in writingassessment, while some may even lack confidence in their own writing skills, perhaps becauseEnglish is not their native language [2, 3]. Given that many instructors are committed toincluding writing assignments in laboratory courses, in no small part because they may improveproficiency using the scientific method [4], how to best evaluate writing in laboratory coursesremains an open question.Part of the answer to that question involves the use of rubrics, which are widely used tostandardize grading in large courses. To be sure, rubric-based grading is imperfect: As examples,consider that use of rubrics does not consistently improve students’ grades [5], and thatsubjective interpretation of a rubric can vary widely [6

A summary of the courses in which eachprogram outcome is assessed is given in Table 2. Notice that we only measure outcomes in coreengineering and BME courses that all students will be taking, simplifying the assessmentprocess. Also, there can be a tendency to try to measure every possible outcome that is relevantfor a particular course, but this approach is overly cumbersome5. Meaningful conclusionsregarding student attainment of program outcomes can be drawn with a focused set of measures.To keep the system simple and manageable by our small faculty, we aim to assess (measure
