These outcomes are assessed in the system engineering core courses(see Appendix: Table 1). The achievement of each of the 11 SYEN student outcomes (SOs) is tobe demonstrated by a primary core course and often by one supporting course. The assessment ofeach SO is based on quantitative performance measures that directly assess the SO. Assessmentmethodology is based on the student work, such as assignments, exams, projects, presentations,laboratory experiments, etc. Samples of student work supporting assessment of SOs are retainedand placed in the course binders maintained in the department office.The student outcomes are assessed as per

The benefits are mutual, particularly in terms of students who complete university programs and join industry research and development teams. The U-I collaboration, on one hand, brings in ideas in the academic forefront to acceler- ate technological advancement in industrial firms, on the other hand, strengthens the education of engineers and mathematicians, and economists at universities by providing research projects generated by real technological issues from industry. It is clear that this marriage invigorates the current stereotype engineering educa- tion through new industrial challenges. However, not many university-industrial ties are

The capstone students are required to identify aneducational need within the mechanical engineering technology program. This need is discussedwith the faculty for the development of a hands-on laboratory instrument that will facilitatelearning in the program. The results from these discussions determine the design requirementsfor the capstone project. These capstone students must also learn the design process that hasmilestones with deliverables associated with a Gantt chart and work breakdown structure.
