To reflect thisrelative importance in the skeleton notes the instructor should rank each topic in the list; in effectcreating a hierarchy of importance. The next step is to reorder the list of topics as they wouldappear chronologically in a lecture; the topics should build on one-another in a logical fashion tocreate a progression of thought that serves to inform the student and demonstrate how theconcepts relate to one another. This reordering can take many forms, and should be written in away that encourages the instructor to think about how the topics are related. Some instructorsmay find that a bulleted list serves this purpose best, while others

Indeed, the fact that the National Science Foundation requires thegraduate students to meet the same Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts criteria required bygrant awardees signifies commitment to requiring engineers, future academicians, andresearchers to carefully consider the merits and impacts of their work.

As part of this role,they should be given some level of autonomy, such as the ability to tweak the experiment orgiven access to equipment or tools for their creative projects. Despite the level of autonomy thatstudents thrive on, it is important that faculty realize students may be slow to question ahypothesis when engaging in experiments. They thus require mentoring and reflection withregards to research methods. Faculty must also invest in these activities by purchasing orproviding access to equipment, or consulting with students regularly. Additionally, many ofthese

If so, the performance ofthe students would occur, at best, around the Application level. It is more likely that other levelswould then be re-scaled to reflect average performance occurring around a mean of 2.5 (betweenComprehension and Application).

Students were taught about failure mode effects analysis (FMEA), a toolthat is well suited for the activity at hand, and a template was available for their use. However, itwas necessary to limit the project scope so that work could be accomplished within the timeavailable and so that unreasonable expectations would not be placed upon students. Therefore,FMEA was not a required project activity. At a minimum, students were required to identifyissues that they believed might present unacceptable risks
