The on-campus version appears to be very helpful inkeeping students with math ACT scores of 25 and 26 focused on the program, thereby increasingtheir likelihood of success.This project is to be continued over at least the next few years and additional data will begathered on factors impacting the success of the students. The data presented here provided abasis for developing and modifying the program, and future modifications will continue to bemade as the program develops. For example, one planned modification for the 2010 program isto use student mentors, who will be employed to not only help with the engineering projectsportion of the

Overall, the students’ feedbackon CPBL has been very positive. Most students considered the in-class projects the mostvaluable and helpful parts in their learning. Through the in-class projects, they not only gainedbetter understanding of the course material and the design process, but also developed strongerinterest in engineering careers. Nevertheless, the assessment findings also indicated a fewchallenges to be addressed.

Yost andLane (2007) argue that effective team-based learning in capstone courses require that teams beheterogeneous and have shared goals, meaningful activities, timely internal feedback, andexternal comparisons and feedback 5. Thus, for faculty to facilitate an effective team-basedlearning experience, they must be very deliberate in the planning of team projects, milestones,activities, and feedback methods and timing.Quinn et al

Fortunately,even very simple parts such as those presented in standard graphics texts can be modeled usingdifferent strategies. In planning a part model, the designer must decompose or “featurize” thepart to be created in the solid modeling system.
