It was chosen as the initial situation fortesting due to the flexible project environment and the heavy emphasis on design.In 2012, ENGG 200 students were asked to create a computer game as one of their multi-weekdesign projects. Students were asked to choose a client market, and then to justify their resultingdesign specifications, decisions, and game mechanics for the target audience. Few restrictionswere built into the project, allowing teams to exercise as much creativity as possible. A freegame creation platform was suggested and made available, but students were free to use anysoftware or environment they preferred. The development process lasted several weeks

Approximately 120 students attend a one-hour lecture in an auditorium. Thefollowing day, students attend a small lab session, usually 26 students, to allow more contactwith each student while s/he practices. There has been concern voiced regarding large lectureswith respect to attendance rates, effectiveness of large lecture instruction, and connectivitybetween the instructor and students15.

. For each half bridge circuit, the students again take measurements ofthree different weights. This process is repeated once more for a full bridge circuit using all fourstrain gauges.The final part of the lab requires the students to choose one of the bridge setups (quarter, half, orfull) to measure an unknown weight. At least four known calibration weights are used to create acalibration curve relating weight and strain as measured by their chosen Wheatstone bridgesetup. They then choose some object that they want to weigh, which can be a textbook, abackpack, or even a fellow classmate. This object is weighed on their ‘scale’ – the instrumentedaluminum beam – and then weighed on a calibrated laboratory scale to get the reference value.This

It was especially gratifying toobserve their reactions when the perceived sound volume went from loud to almost complete silence withonly inches of movement. Thus we transformed an abstract set of equations into a sensory experience.While the 8-element array provides further confidence that the theory matched the experiment results, itwas much easier to perform the experiment using the 4-element array.

Although themost common form of summative assessment is the final examination, some instructors structuretheir courses in units, and do a summative assessment after each unit. In that model, each unit ofthe course is essentially a self-contained mini-course.Midterm exams are frequently used for both summative and formative purposes. For example, ina course having two midterm exams and a final exam, the midterms may each be used todetermine ten to twenty percent of the final grade (while the final exam, laboratory scores,homework, and other items determine the remainder of the grade).
