Involving students in curriculum evaluation A curriculum is a broad concept. According to Stark and Lattuca (1997), it is not only a subsetof courses in a study plan, but also its content, the course sequence, the students, the teaching-learning processes, the evaluations, the resources, and the necessary adjustments to improve itsresults. Thus, curriculum design and evaluation should consider multiple factors, such as thelearning environments and the interactions between teachers and students [18], [19]. Surprisingly, teachers and students are

The objectives of the course catered towards – (i) Introducing Systems Engineeringfor PNMSats, (ii) Engage students in the design of a PNMSat with a novel payload and (iii)Foster leadership and team development through learning stages. The course agenda consisted of3 phases and the following outcomes were sought for assessing the success of the course.1. Demonstrate a basic understanding of PNMSats and their purpose.2. Demonstrate an understanding of systems engineering and its need for the design and development of PNMSats.3. Envision a project life cycle of a PNMSat mission and plan to be successful.4

They installed the detection system, made slight assembly modifications and tested thesystem. With a successful installation the team then performed a 10,000 bag production test(nearly four hours) and confirmed that the percentage of soup mix bags without flavor packetsdetected and removed by the machine was similar to that percentage of customer complaints theprevious year. The detection system (Line #2) was released to production, and plans made toinstall another detection system on a second identical production line (Line #1).Statistical Verification of the Inspection SystemAfter eight months of

material.The computer science realm has led the charge for agile methods based on iterative stages ofdeveloping software [10]. The most basic idea of a Gantt chart from 1917 of what is required andin what order developments should occur is crucial, but these charts can be improved on byallowing users to adjust timelines on the fly [11]. Many so-called DevOp tools have beendeveloped over the last decade to facilitate tracking of software development, bug tracking, andentire life-cycles for software [12]. The idea is to adapt, iterate, and prioritize working quicklyand deftly rather than following a plan [13]. Gradually the success of these tools has encouragedother product development realms to adopt similar strategies. Educators are also beginning

All graduates enter into a military career ascommissioned officers and are expected to make informed decisions on topics ranging from spaceoperations to routine military installation maintenance and management. To address this widerange of occupational responsibility, the primary learning goal is for the students to be able tointegrate and advocate for sustainability principles in plans and decisions affecting the builtenvironment at the conclusion of the course.

these skills, not related to professional ambitions, come into play. Interestingly, aminority of students (14.3%) do not agree that English-language skills are important in thesecontexts, which suggests that their decision to study at a North-American institution is likely forother academic reasons. It should be noted that of those that did not agree on the importance ofEnglish-language skills, half indicated they were planning to stay in Canada after graduation(data not explicitly shown), which suggests a perception that communication skills are notrelevant to engineers or necessary for future success, even in an English-speaking environment. 45 42 40 35
