interaction of assessment withlearning and teaching. As an integral part, assessment provides an opportunity for teachers and students alike toidentify areas of understanding and misunderstanding. With this knowledge, students andteachers can build on the understanding and seek to transform misunderstanding into significantlearning (N.R.C., 1993). Assessment as ‘learning’ is not a third-party research project orsomeone's questionnaire; it must be viewed as a community effort or nothing, driven by afaculty's own commitment to reflect, judge, and improve (Narayanan, 2007 & 2009). The author has tried to follow such a philosophy while gathering data for this project. Inthis presentation the author provides some guidelines for

Examples of the renewedfocus on engineering design can be found in many programs. These include the EngineeringDesign and Practice Sequence at Queen’s University aiming to create a four-year designsequence across all engineering programs [4]. Another example is the project-based spiralcurriculum implemented at Worcester Polytechnic Institute [5].

been no attempt previously to understand whether there is anyagreement across BME about what type of computing is important. While many universitiesoffer elective courses in computer programming that can expand students’ knowledge, thepresent project was done to determine the frequency of requiring different types of programmingcourses, and whether generalizations can be made about the state of undergraduate BMEeducation in this respect. Required computer courses for BME students can be assigned toseveral categories: 1) MATLAB, 2) object-oriented programming (e.g. Python, C++), 3)programming of microcontrollers for on board sensing or control of electromechanical devices,4) computer-aided design (CAD), sometimes used in conjunction with

werestereotypes based on the “double bind” of being a woman of color in engineering and leadership[12]. Finally, being unable to be authentic was also prevalent among the students of color in thisstudy. For example, a Latina woman discussed how she tailored her behavior when performingher leadership duties: “The way I converse, definitely a male thing. Because I definitely talk a littlebit differently when I'm with family and people I know very well.” Thus, failing to includeracialized and gendered experiences may overlook factors that can act as stressors on the leadershipexperiences and development of engineering students.AcknowledgementFunding for this project was provided by the National Science Foundation under grant EEC-ENG1738132.

The materials are being developed tobe integrated in several courses taken by undergraduate students beginning in freshman year andinclude lecture demonstrations, laboratory exercises and design projects. The development ofthese materials is motivated by the need for engineers well-versed in high-frequency electronics,the desire to cast common concepts learned at the foundation of the curriculum in terms ofpractical engineering applications and to introduce students to one of the many specialties inelectrical engineering.

engineering curriculum has long been recognized.However, students often do not complete a hands-on, comprehensive design project until theirsenior year capstone design course. While this is obviously a very valuable and appropriatelearning experience, students benefit from and desire earlier and more frequent real-world designexperiences12. One reason design experiences are often delayed is that students do not have thetechnical breadth early in their academic careers necessary to complete a comprehensive designproject. While students in the first-year course, Fundamentals of ECE, do not have the breadthand depth to successfully carry out a completely open-ended design project with a level ofsophistication expected from senior students, they do have
