The rubric was established and administered in CEE-346L, Geotechnical EngineeringLaboratory. The means of assessment was a particular laboratory experiment, One DimensionalConsolidation Test. The rubric consisted of several indicators in each of the categories: “1” –Below Expectation, “2” – Meets Expectation, and “3” – Exceeds Expectations, with a desiredmetric threshold score of 2 or greater.

This evaluation was thensummarized and used to guide further development of the lab space and the curriculum. The useof the surveys together with significant equipment upgrades and purchases has led to asubstantial improvement in the lab experience for the students.Introduction As a “practical” profession, it can be argued that engineering is intrinsically hands-on,but at the undergraduate engineering education level, a solid laboratory
