-dress specific desired student learning outcomes.IntroductionEC2000 and proposed new TAC/ABET criteria have provided an impetus to provide a more co-herent assessment of programs and the achievement of student learning outcomes.1,2 While theassessment of student learning outcomes is challenging, it is extremely useful for educators toget a fresh look at the skills their graduates possess. Once assessment is underway, it is not un-common to discover that graduates’ skills in certain areas are not as strong as initially thought.One approach to address shortcomings in student learning outcomes is to utilize design projectsand other realistic, open-ended problems. Carefully planned and integrated design projects canbe used to both enhance and

a pace which made retention of the material challenging. It seemed as though the class started and was over before you knew it. And when it was over, it was one of those classes where you really didn’t know what you had learned.”Our initial approach to improve ECE 345 was to sue feedback from students and facultymembers as follows:1. Develop a draft set of course learning objectives and course topics based on the existing course model and content.2. Share these documents with department chairs throughout the College of Engineering, and with chairpersons of the various departmental and college curriculum committees.3. Develop a comprehensive plan to revise the existing course. This plan included the following

We have been using this activity for over ten years. Student write these essaysfollowing the completion of each phase of the design process (e.g., the planning phase and theconceptual design phase). Some essays are exhilarating to read and really convey a sense of astudent’s struggle to understand the design lessons inherent in their experiences. Other essaysare terse, full of platitudes, unrelated to the students personal experiences, and generallyunconvincing. In working with the students to understand why the quality

In previous literature on the subject of higher educationtransfer students, two categories of transfer students were identified regarding their subsequentsuccess in their careers [10, 11]. The critical difference is that students who plan the transfer beforeattending community college were more likely to succeed than those who did not plan early[18].However, even with planning, there are still factors that are imperative to transfer student successpost-transfer.

The authors categorized PBL development as having instructor implications.Developing a PBL unit and website can take a lot of planning. The course instructor pointed tothe value of suggested getting help from experienced PBL developers. “I think to get into thisyou really need to not only have a concept of what you want to do but then get help fromsomeone who’s built these sort of websites before. I think there’s just too much of a learningcurve for a faculty member to do it on their own.” The instructor was surprised at the amount oftime it took to develop the PBL. He

time, NASA was developing plans for post-Apollomissions, including plans for space stations in orbit and on the moon. These space stations wouldrequire a “space shuttle” to service them. After much negotiation, NASA finally gained approvalfrom the Nixon administration to build the Space Shuttle, but not the space station. Further, therewere no remaining Saturn V rockets to lift the major components for a proposed space stationinto orbit. (A modified Saturn V rocket had put Skylab into orbit in 1973). The space shuttleprogram was approved in 1972 with a budget of a $5.5 billion and a goal of completion in 1978,6 years later. The first launch was not actually achieved until 1981, but the total cost overrun wasonly 15%, which is pretty good by
