havethe opportunity to earn academic credit for their engineering design work. A key difference in thisframework as compared to other typical capstone designs, independent studies, or research creditcourses is that undergraduate TAs and project managers within the project teams are responsiblefor developing many of the assignments distributed to those students enrolled the course as theproject progresses. The methods of student assessment within this framework include: individualor small-group weekly assignments, design notebook checks, peer and self-evaluations,participation, summative technical reports, and the Humanitarian Library. Additionally, unlikemany traditional problem set or laboratory courses, student skills are developed through

I decided tofurther my education and I was admitted to the physics doctorate program in the United States.As a graduate student I taught various physics and science courses every semester includingwinter and summer sessions for more than five years, both as a laboratory and discussion sessioninstructor.When I teach, I think about my past experiences with all of my professors. Unfortunately, I cannotcount many excellent teachers in my education but I learned a lot from the ones who had flaws. Tobe a good physics teacher it is not enough to possess the knowledge but have the ability toeffectively transfer that knowledge to the students. When teaching introductory-level

information, determining an appropriate source and applying the information.”Engineering programs can still employ their previous instruments used for the assessment andevaluation of SOs (A-k) or modify them to assess and evaluate the student outcomes in the newgeneral criteria. Most programs have been using the results of student performance on specificproblems, laboratory experiments, design projects, or other types of reports as primary directmeasurement for assessing student outcomes. Other instruments such as results of thefundamentals of engineering (FE) exam and student surveys are used as secondary instrumentsfor the assessment of student outcomes. Most programs have been using the same instrumentsfor the assessment of both student outcomes
Revision took place in an upper level required Chemical Engineering Laboratoryclass. For the workshop, the pre-tenured faculty modified already existing laboratories toincorporate aspects of scale-up design, engineering economics, and process safety into eachproject. The instructor also added new elements of professionalism, teamwork, and lab safetyinto the already built course structure. Finally, course level assessments were changed from theold ABET Student Learning Outcomes A thru K to the newly adopted ABET Outcomes 1 thru 7.This is a perfect example of a course revision because new elements were added to an alreadyexisting course and the assessment criteria was updated.An example of a Course Component project occurred for a required freshmen

to offer training and/or teaching in new skillsand/or knowledge [51]. For quite some time now, many colleges have provided makerspace-analogous functionalities, including assembly/testing areas, machine shops, Computer AidedDesign laboratories, and/or classrooms. What universities often disregard is the inclusion all ofthese elements in one location [52]. For campuses that do implement such centralizedaccommodations, the majority of these makerspaces are utilized predominantly for informalsettings. Utilizing a makerspace for housing an introductory course in engineering, such as ENGR111, fosters a formal setting that includes a variety of disciplines that draws in diverse backgroundsand varying levels of expertise.If structured properly

This project was student-funded, so there was not a set budgetto adhere to, but the intent was to keep the project pricing down. The initial estimated cost of the projectwas between $275-$300 total, and the project total went a little over-budget by $17.59. However, when itcame to materials such as the silicone sealant, the mini water pump, jumper wire, and battery packs, notall material was used.

At that time, Behrend owned approximately five 3Dprinters, and we initially developed a course where the students could utilize the machinesowned by Behrend. The course was a 1 credit lab that the senior ME students could take to filltheir program requirements (two laboratory courses of their choosing). The machines werecentrally located in Innovation Commons at Behrend, which is a makerspace that was developedby Behrend to support innovation and early manufacturing of prototypes for all Behrend studentsand local
