outcomes of lab report writing but therewere areas of concern that could be improved upon to help current and future students presenttheir findings more professionally and efficiently.ECE 411 is an outlier in that only Outcome 8 (appropriate genre conventions) is included in labassignments. This is likely because all ECE 411’s labs are assigned from a lab manual providedby the manufacturer of the equipment used by the students in the lab. The instructor providesminimal additional guidance.3.3 Analysis of lab report assessmentsEach lab course’s lab instructional materials were analyzed to investigate how the student labreports are evaluated. As in Section 3.2, we use the nine lab report writing outcomes in Table 4for the analysis. Table 11 presents

straighteners.Tunnel B: Team B desired to generate as much lift as possible. Their tunnel, shown in Figure 4, reflectsjust that. The design consisted of a Vortex S-600 fan capable of producing a flow of 340 cfm. Airconditioning duct piping was used to reduce the 6-inch outlet of the fan to the 4-inch clear plastictubing. Duct tape was used to hold the components of the tunnel together. This design was veryeffective in what it set out to do: produce lift. When installed in this tunnel the air foil from theScience First Tunnel experienced noticeable lift as it rose to the top of the tube.Figure 4. Max Lift Wind Tunnel Designed by Team B.

The intersection of these three domains is the EPICS experience. Eachimpacts the assessment philosophy and methodology.The first area is design and in particular multidisciplinary design. In a typical year, studentsfrom nearly 30 majors will participate and most teams are highly multidisciplinary. The seconddomain involves professional preparation. One of the original goals when EPICS was created inthe mid 1990’s was to prepare students for professional practice. This goal remains todayguiding the environment and methods used in

Students are then let loose to workon their individual practice assignments while instructor(s) and undergraduate teaching assistantswalk the room answering questions.

) framework, quality constructused to understand the way a process or product can fail and predict the consequences of thosefailures [8]. As part of the FMEA process, risk severity (S), probability of occurrence (O) andlikelihood of detection (D) are ranked from 1-10 and a risk priority number (RPN) is defined byRPN=S×O×D. This RPN is used to rank the possible failures and determine the priority ofvarious risks being addressed. This topic was introduced through a literature discussion onupstream process conditions, but students were asked in homework to investigate another area ofmanufacturing in which FMEA is routinely used. Exposing students to risk analysis andcontingency planning allows them to begin thinking in this framework; while
