learning (PjBL) is an excellent framework for undergraduate engineeringeducation, as it provides benefits to learners from different learning styles while buildingcommunication and critical thinking skills [1]. A recent study with high school students foundthat PjBL was especially beneficial to the lowest-performing students, enabling them to improvetheir mathematics test scores more than middle- and high-achieving students [2]. At the sametime, PjBL places additional burdens on instructors, lab spaces, and departmental budgets,particularly when a hardware component is involved. To aid in the deployment of PjBL at ouruniversity and others with similar interests, we are developing a series of optical tools andlaboratories that can be easily

. Necessary as the analytical tools of science and mathematics most certainly are, more important is the development in student and neophyte engineers of sound judgment and an intuitive sense of fitness and adequacy. No matter how vigorously a “science” of design may be pushed, the successful design of real things in a contingent world will always be based more on art than on science. Unquantifiable judgments and choices are the elements that determine the way a design comes together. Engineering design is simply that kind of process. It always has been; it always will be. 2 Ferguson implies that engineering judgment is something informed by mathematics andscience, but states that engineering judgment

allow the "noisy" measure tosee some real change. A prime example of reasonable P&P use is the Alverno College use of theMID as one measure of total curriculum effects. 21 If the curriculum question involves smaller populations over shorter times, traditionalinterviews probably should be used. An example would be looking at the effect of someexperimental courses over a few semesters. Here the populations are smaller and the changesmay be small; thus the "best" measure, the traditional interview where valid data per person isobtained, is the assessment measure of choice. In circumstances where we wanted solid data toconvince faculty about curricular changes, 4 we deemed it worth the time and money to useinterviews.Further Research and

outcomes.Development and successful implementation of a versatile capstone course assessment andevaluation system is potentially useful. Lack of effective assessment and evaluation tools canlead to false or inaccurate conclusions about the goodness of design processes. Yet, consideringthe ubiquitous presence of capstone design courses in almost every engineering curriculum,outcomes assessment of these courses is perhaps among the most under-researched topics inengineering education.Cost, time and quality are the three basic performance measures attached to any process. In thecapstone design projects we studied, time can measured in terms of number of weeks of totaldesign time, e.g., one 15-week semester. The cost can be measured by the number of personhours
