objectives 1-3 address criterion a): an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics,science, and engineering and criterion e): an ability to identify, formulate, and solveengineering problems. Course objective 4 addresses criterion f): an understanding ofprofessional and ethical responsibility.Throughout the semester, the instructor assessed if students were learning these conceptsfrom the tests that were periodically administered. These assessments were put in a scaleof 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) for each student. At the end of the course, average of studentscores for each objective was determined to assess whether the student body in the classwas able to master that particular objective.At the end of the class, students were also asked to evaluate if

standards and realistic constraints that include most of the following considerations: economic; environmental; sustainability; manufacturability; ethical; health and safety; social; and political. The professional component must include (a) one year of a combination of college level mathematics and basic sciences (some with experimental experience) appropriate to the discipline (b) one and one-half years of engineering topics, to include engineering sciences and engineering design appropriate to the student’s field of study (c) a general education component that complements the technical content of the curriculum and is consistent with the program and institution objectives
