Boud (2000) posited that the focus ofassessment as a whole must be rethought to promote lifelong learning skills. Learning toperform and to respond to formative feedback given by both peer- and self-review are essentialskills for succeeding in a continuous working world that doesn’t assign an end-of-project grade.Teaching students how to perform peer review and how to utilize constructive criticism forimprovement is essential

their aircraft designs.ii. Hands-on experience: Fabrication and flight test evaluation of the UAS design was perhaps the most valuable lesson that the student team gained; at this scale, few finished products turn out in line with designs and projections. The team encountered this apparent discrepancy at various stages following the initial design, including component weight during fabrication, as well as the final weight of the finished aircraft, which was about 30% more than the design specification, affecting its dynamic performance. Lesson Learned: Analysis of aircraft designs need to account for potential variations in parameters during the fabrication/repair process to still be able to satisfy design and performance

expected outcome of introducing the first lab at the start of the MSE curricular sequencewas that students would begin to use these tools in their courses. Discussions with otherinstructors recorded the exclusive use of Microsoft Excel for graphing, laboratory reports, anddata analysis. While MS Excel is more widely used in industry than MATLAB, it is also true thatproficiency with MATLAB could translate to Excel more easily than the reverse. Theassumption was that students would use more reliable sources and effective tools if they wereexposed to them and taught to build competency in these tools. While some students began touse MATLAB and CES for course projects and laboratory reports after their 4 th semester, thiswas nowhere near as widespread

You must have an idea of what you want tocreate and sketching is the way to get that idea down and also allows you to share your ideaswith others for critiquing.”The understanding that sketching itself is a way of thinking was very important for students torealize so they could begin using it as a tool rather than as something to perfect by showing totheir peers or instructor. Many students noted how they regretted not having more sketchesleading up to their final design project, which further underlines the newfound importance theyplaced on sketching as a tool to improve their end-product.DiscussionThe exploratory

proximity, another possible reason of this special connection is that PLs are not involved inthe grading process. This makes students more relaxed when interacting with PLs.PLs give us feedback about the class during the semester; we do not have to wait for classevaluations at the end of the semester.What PLs take from their class experience.PLs’ experience in this program was overwhelmingly positive.
