The evaluation is composed ofsurveys given to students throughout their participation in the Robotics Academy as wellas interviews with participants and advising professors. Thus far, the surveys have beentailored to the specific goals of the program rather than being based on standardizedmeasures. While this prohibits comparability with other programs, this allows us to bettergauge the impact of the Robotics Academy experience on the individuals involved. The program has been in place for two years, with excellent reviews from theparticipants. Many cite it as the best experience they had at Tufts specifically because

Departmental leadership participated in several national workshops in 2010, tolearn best practices for sustainable assessment. As a result, new assessment and evaluationprocesses were established in Fall 2010 by engaging all constituents (faculty, industrial advisorycouncil) throughout the development and implementation process.

These students have completed many of theirengineering classes and are prepared to positively impact a project. However, seniors tend tohave a nasty habit of graduating. The combination of younger students lacking skills and neededcoursework and seniors graduating makes successful large scale or multiyear projects morechallenging.
