A basic sensor assembly design and construction was completed as alaboratory requirement for the Mechanical Systems Design course. Pulses generated by theencoder pressed against engine crankshaft belt were acquired and stored in a file using a NationalInstruments2 PCI 6023E, 200 kS/s (kilo-samples per second) throughput data acquision boardand an application program developed using National Instruments LabVIEW 5.0 graphicalprogramming software. The acquired data was processed using LabVIEW and the results weredisplayed. The change in the encoder signal frequency is proportional to the power generated bythe individual cylinders of the engine. A plot is generated for two

Despite initial success in recruitment efforts,the numbers of these minority students not completing their studies still remain higher than thatof their non-minority peers.

The assessment process will focus on the performance criteria,performance metrics, grading methods, and tracking and feedback for continuous improvement.A survey-feature of the assessment plan will be tested on a typical engineering course and anexamination of how such a course would fit in the larger picture of an engineering program willbe performed. Finally, this paper concludes in matching EC2000’s educational outcomes (a-k)to the educational objectives of the course, maps the assessment tools of the course to Bloom’staxonomy of learning, and comments on the usefulness of an outcomes-based assessment survey.I

pedagogical intervention offered rich dividends,particularly in learning about decision-making. It was also evident that the perception ofincorporating research design and critical thinking expanded the student’s imagination of thesignificance of such skills in engineering education. However, more research needs to takeplace on how leadership skills can be developed even as decision-making and criticalthinking are taught. There needs to be further inquiry into what counts as leadership amongstengineers, and how these skills can be included through further pedagogical interventionswithin engineering education.References[1] M.

For example, understanding particle behavior (i.e., dryflow, aggregation and agglomeration) at a mass scale is crucial to the safety and improvement ofstorage, transport and manufacturing processes [3].Despite calls since the 1990’s to increase the availability of a uniform particle sciencecurriculum, little progress has been made in integrating particle science into the currentengineering curriculum—resulting in a limited number of engineers trained in the field [1].Within the United States, particle science courses are sparse and lack uniformity within thematerials and
