The bucket-stopwatch is accurate to this level because the bucket wasallowed to fill for a long period of time -- about 200 s -- so that about 7 kg of water wascollected.

Inparticular, many projects are ideal platforms for the interaction between mechanical andelectrical engineering students. Every year we make attempts to integrate ME and EE students inour projects. However, we have run into impediments to do it in a widespread manner as a resultof institutional differences within our own college, and the disparity of curricular requirementsamong the different departments when it comes to capstone experience. The MechanicalEngineering department is the only one with a well-developed year-long and project-basedcapstone course, and a s result, we have not been able to involve as many students from othermajors as

If less than70% of the submissions pass the criteria for a Program Outcome, we are committed to discussingand determining a program-level response. In the past this type of response has includedincreased coverage in multiple courses, assessment in additional classes, major revision of theassignment(s) used to demonstrate the competency in question, and/or reconsideration of therubric used for assessment.Following our initial program-level review, we revisited our performance criteria and rubrics toaddress any inconsistencies or redundancies that had been noticed by the faculty raters.
