the average studentperforms 2% better than predicted and the distribution of this difference is negatively skewed (-0.64) indicating the bulk of the students outperform the prediction.Also notice in Figure 1 that no students were predicted to finish with above a 93%. This is likelydue to the fact that few students earn all A’s and A+’s in previous coursework, so very few havea GPA higher than 4.0. This prediction, therefore, fails to predict that students will score an A+in a future course. 100% 95% 90% Actual Performance (in CE300) 85% 80% 75

process and the team has demonstrated proper design methodology during the design process.Automotive Systems Capstone The ME492 (Mechanical Powertrains and Vehicle Dynamics) course provides much of the basicknowledge required of mechanical engineering majors to participate in the Society of AutomotiveEngineers’ BAJA SAE competition. In academic year 08 a new course director took over the course.This course director had served as a committee member for the academic year 07’s Baja-SAE team. InAY 07 it was quickly apparent that the Baja-SAE team lacked some basic knowledge required to properdesign of the vehicle. A review of the AY 07 ME492 syllabus revealed some of the underlying causes: Lesson
