c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Does Performance-Based Assessment in an Introductory Circuits Laboratory Improve Student Learning?AbstractUndergraduate engineering students regularly participate in laboratory experiences inintroductory circuit theory courses. Based on instructor experience, it can be observed thatstudents often struggle to remember how to use test and measurement equipment or importantsoftware from week to week, making long term retention of necessary skills inadequate. Thefacilitators of this study searched for strategies to improve student retention of important skills,and drew inspiration from performance-based assessment strategies used in the healthcareprofession.

Also, the program is tailored toengineering research objectives that include elements of innovation and technology development,as opposed to discovery (in the natural sciences). Rather than spending extensive periods in aformal teaching laboratory, the students often spend time in the engineering makerspace and/or inthe research labs of their faculty mentors. Research projects are conducted in small teams,generally 2-4 students per team, and students are expected to spend approximately 5 hours/weekon their research—enough time to make steady progress on their project but not
