If the device functioned as intended and met all specified designrequirements it would be difficult to argue that the creators were not engineering literate.However without knowledge about why the particular design requirements were chosen, andwhat use the device served, it could be said that the prisoner-engineers did not fully understandthe technology and were therefore not technologically literate.Evolution or Change Over TimeIt may be helpful to consider how the understanding of engineering or technology may evolve orchange over time.

. Thistype of system did not lend itself well to use when an exam, project, or other assignment wasused to satisfy multiple ABET outcomes. In view of this challenge, the department desired toestablish a paperless system for ease in both data collection and outcome analysis. Furthermore,while the previous assessment system provided an excellent method of concentrating direct andindirect evidence from both external and internal sources, it did not lend itself to the feedbackprocess that is essential to good continuous improvement practices. As a result, data collectionand feedback utility became the priority of assessment system refinement. However, our department has not been alone in attempting to developing better evidencestorage and

The first project was a dynamicanalysis of the Vancouver luge track where a 21 year old Olympic athlete had recently lost hislife. In the second assignment, students had to derive equations of motion for an electric cart(four rigid bodies connected by axle bearings and a chain/sprocket) and integrate the equationswith Matlab. Through intuition-guided iteration, students selected cart parameters they thoughtwould give them the best chances of winning a class-wide

Students should do something(homework, writing assignment, quiz, test, project) every week. Since immediatefeedback while the students are working on the homework helps prevent excessivefrustration, the availability of help will increase student learning if students use itappropriately. Prompt return of graded assignments is more effective than slow return,and students should be encouraged to use the feedback. This can be done by allowingthem to turn selected reworked problems back in for an improved grade. Other methodsof encouraging (or forcing) the students to practice such as group
