We describe how the model is implemented with respect
placed ‘on the clock’. This initiated a timeframe, usually a week,within which students had two challenges to complete in order to be eligible to take that topictest.The first challenge, the student needed to acquire a completely worked-out problem thatillustrated the concept of the just completed topic. This problem could be one of the studentsown devising or from a textbook, class web page, or any other source. The student then wouldschedule an appointment with the instructor to do an oral presentation of the problem. Thestudent would explain step by step the procedure(s) used in the solution of the problem. Thisprovides the instructor an opportunity to examine the students’ critical thinking skills. If thestudent is unable to completely

Once again, the most gain was made with questions 2 and 5.Due to the differences in point distribution with the removal of quesiton 1 for the second year, itis not possible to perform direct statistical anaylsis between the two years. However it is stillpossible to make some observations. It is surprising to see all the 0’s on question 2 whenlooking at the points distribution for the 2010 post-test. The amount invalid samples (incompletetests) for 2009/2010 was also remarkable. Both years showed improvement on questions 2 and5. Question 2 addressed Quality Function Deployment while question 5 addressed the content ofprogress reports. These are both topics that are directly applied to design projects in this

are often regarded as only being observable through long-term evidence and not amenable to assessment during the program of study [28].This idea of the place and nature of the affective domain in education programs has a longhistory. Schmidt [29] refers to the idea in the mid 1970’s but only as an author making use anexisting idea. In addition, this perspective, that affective domain development in relation to thecognitive material which is learned, that we are pursuing in systems engineering is a perspectivewhich has a long tradition in both theological education and military academies, where theobjective is to develop people who will behave rightly, not just people who know how to behaverightly.
