The teaching assistants administered both surveys online, in thedriving simulator laboratory, immediately after the completion of the task.The entry survey started with an assessment question that asked students to rate the three curvesin terms of the quality of their design using a three-level scale that included following options:“Bad design,” “Decent design,” and “Good design.” An open-ended question followed this firstassessment item and asked students to explain concisely the differences between the best and theworst designs they experienced on the virtual vertical alignment.

Failure’s role in engineering; including itsvalue in design, design revisions and failure as a source of engineering judgment has beenstudied4, 5. The continued failure of important complex systems has led to assess the question asto how the systems fail despite everything thought to be necessary in the way of process beingdone6.Several engineering curriculums do offer courses based on either laboratories or case studies tounderstand the importance of failures in design as a teaching aid7, 8, 9, 10

Adjuncts typically are “offthe radar screen” of the Dean and Chair, hence receive minimal feedback except from students intheir classes. Adjuncts often have little authority to improve the laboratory/class they teach andmay not be included in curriculum decisions. Supto recommends that “every adjunct shouldhave a full-time faculty member assigned as an advocate and resource” but this often isn’t thecase1. Adjuncts are often left to fend for themselves.Departments and faculty may want to do an excellent job of teaching undergraduates, yet it isoften the lack of resources and not
