Figure 1: Student overall evaluations of the courseThe fabrication lab was popular during the previous analysis of the course [17]. Each year,students built a device in the fabrication lab that was designed by the previous cohort. Thisdevice was fabricated across four laboratory activities: 1) milling, 2) turning, 3) welding, and 4)tapping, threading, and assembly. After completion of the four labs, students developed ideas forsimilar projects, wrote a “Design of Labs” report, and competed in a class pitch competition.

the response. In this module, arecorded lecture, a new laboratory experience, and an assignment were created. The DOEmodule targets the remaining assessment objectives of Competency 1 (C1) and Competency 2(C2). DOE was selected for these objectives because it is heavily focused on the hypothesisdevelopment, experimental plan, and data collection points. The laboratory exercises also coverdata analysis and interpretation, which could also target C3 and C4. However, since SPC coversthose topics more directly, the focus of the DOE module is to satisfy C1 and C2. Introduction ofDOE also enabled the incorporation of additional educational components.

expectationsthat engineering audiences have for documents—expectations for titles, summaries,introductions, sections, appendices, illustrations, and equations. Until students learn theprinciples of engineering writing, a significant gap exists between what those students haveexperienced in general writing courses and what those students are expected to produce inreports for design courses, laboratory courses, and internships. Engineering colleges are responding to this gap. For instance, at the University ofMichigan [4], the College of Engineering has dropped first-year English from their curricula infavor of increasing the number of credits allotted to first-year design. Now having four credits,this first-year design course has both a design
