By identifying and assessing learning outcomes, we areable to better understand what our students are learning and make improvements to the course.This has been critical in enabling comparisons to be made across projects and across years.Additionally, by involving a number of stakeholders

The culminating event of the Oral Exams is just a fewweeks before graduation with one student being asked questions (akin to adissertation defense) by three faculty members. Ahead of this, there are writtenexams on the Fundamental Knowledge each semester, and there is another formof the Oral Exam but in a group setting with peer evaluators. This was anindicator used to assess Student Outcome i, the recognition for the need forlifelong learning. In a group setting, a faculty member asked each student a seriesof questions of nuclear engineering facts and concepts. The questions persistedfor 10-15 minutes while faculty member and two other students evaluated thequality of the responses. This was worth 5% of the course

The mentors, too, found the experience rewarding.
