Engineering Education, 2019 Twenty Year Evolution of an Outreach ProgramWork in Progress Almost twenty years ago, in an undergraduate-level Introduction to BiomedicalEngineering elective, a group project was created which allowed an opportunity for students todelve deeply into an area of interest that was not covered in the class material. A second objectivewas to provide a forum for the students to hone their presentation and group interaction skills. Theproject integrated a high school outreach presentation and required undergraduate students toparticipate in problem-based learning, demonstrations, and hands-on activities and challengedundergraduates to present highly technical material to an audience with little technical

Three principle objectives of this process design coursesequence are to instruct students in the development of a complete chemical process usingprocess simulators as a primary tool, to complete this project in a team-oriented environment,and to communicate effectively with their peers and instructors. These three principle objectivesare directly related to the ABET student

Finally, we conducted inter-rater reliability analysis for an example assignment andfound modest improvement in agreement between assessors compared to previous evaluationmethods. We conclude with our next steps in our development and revision of these rubrics.BackgroundThe University of Delaware is a medium-sized, mid-Atlantic, public institution whose chemicalengineering program graduates on average 80 undergraduates per year.

All students’solutions were scored using the PROCESS rubric after the semester.
