These outcomes are assessed in the system engineering core courses(see Appendix: Table 1). The achievement of each of the 11 SYEN student outcomes (SOs) is tobe demonstrated by a primary core course and often by one supporting course. The assessment ofeach SO is based on quantitative performance measures that directly assess the SO. Assessmentmethodology is based on the student work, such as assignments, exams, projects, presentations,laboratory experiments, etc. Samples of student work supporting assessment of SOs are retainedand placed in the course binders maintained in the department office.The student outcomes are assessed as per

To facilitate the design process, a set ofmagnetic bars together with steel balls are available for making small scale models. Also, thefull-scale structural components are available to the students for assembling the structure, orparts of it, in the lab.

IC promotes students’ self-directed learning in fundamental heat transfer principles using online videos, quizzes, andinteractive problems outside of class time. Class time was used, in part, for mini-lectures,demonstrations, questions/answer sessions to correct student misconceptions, and exams toensure attainment of engineering fundamentals. However, the majority of class time was freedfor students to work on authentic engineering problems (AEP). These problems are key to theinstructional framework. The problems were developed by
