These experiments are reasonable in content and length. If not, how can we improve it? The average rating for this question is 4.6From the assessment result, we can conclude that the students are very satisfied with theseexperiments. In addition one of the students who took this course in the fall of 2005 used asimilar PCI DAQ board manufactured by Measurement Computing in his capstone project todesign and build a Software Controlled Radio.

Most students take someform of engineering design in their capstone experience, as is recommended by ABET [1].Recently, however, more opportunities for this work have been created for underclassmen.Studies have shown that placing team-based engineering design earlier in an engineeringcurriculum can provide students with valuable teamwork skills and connections to real-worldengineering work, as well as increase retention of material learned in class [2].

Educational scholarship isuseful for advancing conversations related to specific activities and/or relationships amongactivities. In our work, we have been focused on advancing conversations related to the use ofstudent reflection in engineering education.Reflection can be understood as a form of thinking that involves stepping out, thinking about,and connecting forward. Defined in this way, reflection can be seen as distinct from otheractivities mentioned above and also a very broad category of possible activity. In prior work

The mechanical engineering majors receive additional engineering design experiencesthrough other courses. They find these courses (automotive and aeronautical) more relevant totheir interests than the two general design courses. Many of the mechanical engineering majorsare already conducting work on their capstone design projects when they take the second designcourse. On the other hand, the non-engineering major has not had the broader exposure to otherengineering courses. For many of them, their five engineering courses are the
