The assessment plan The intent of the Energy Systems Laboratory course is to provide students with an integratedenergy systems experience and to provide students with opportunities to develop effectivecommunication skills. Simply acquiring data and performing calculations is not enough. Thestudents must understand, apply, and communicate results. With this in mind, the courselearning objectives were divided into four objectives dealing with the application of fundamentalconcepts and engineering tools, and two objectives dealing with communication skills andeffective team working skills. Mastering all of these objectives prepares the students for

IntroductionEngineering programs in the U.S. are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commissionof the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET)1. In the past,programs were evaluated using a set of criteria that prescribed most of the courses and activitiesthat a program had to offer to be accredited. If a department followed ABET’srecommendations, their programs were generally accredited. Beginning in 2001, all programsare being evaluated based on the outcomes of the programs and the skills of their graduates.Universities

But I knew I would have to get a Ph.D., and that was kind of the ‘I don’t know if I want to do this’ part of it. And now that I’ve done this, the Ph.D. work doesn’t seem so bad.” “[the program] Opened my mind to different possibilities, and confirmed my interest in research. ”One student talked about her change in goals before and after the program by saying, “it [thesurvey] asked me if I was going to go to graduate school and I said ‘no,’ now I’ve changed mymind.”Specifically, students repeatedly talked about the panel

their starting point in knowledge engineering, Åman and Andersson (2012) emphasize the importance ofindustrial design as “a field that incorporates an integrative aspect, stretching across the divide between therational and problem solving and the ‘irrational’ of the aesthetic and symbolic”. As such, ”design as an activityand profession is inherently integrative across ‘arts’ and ‘sciences’, but it is the integrative element that is at theforefront” (ibid).We believe that a narrow-minded view of objectives in product development and design can contribute to asituation, where economic targets get over-prioritised in relation to value for customers and other stakeholders,such as described by Åman and Andersson (2012).
