Student Outcomes wouldunderstandably be different, regardless of their type of externship. For this reason we chose toask students to what degree they were challenged in the areas of the Student Outcomes with theassumption being that the more they were challenged, the more opportunity they had to learn.For these questions a five corresponded to very strongly, a four to strongly, a three to average, atwo to weakly, and a one to not at all. A modified version of the ABET Student Outcomes wasutilized with a-k appearing to the respondents as: a. Use math and/or science to solve engineering problems. b. Design or conduct a scientific experiment to include analyzing or interpreting data. c. Take part in the design or construction of a

Although fast-paced, this method affords students anopportunity to pass a test on a consolidated segmented amount of material in a synchronizedtimeframe. To pass the course, each student needs to pass at least 7 topics for a grade of “C” with8 and 9 topics for grades of “B” and “A” respectively.Additional Bonus Topics have also been offered to

Pre-lab: Before each experiment, the students should answer a series of 5 quick questions. The pre-lab’s role is to allow the students to recapitulate the key points of the theory that will be needed during each experiment. C.

Moreover,given the undergraduate-only nature of the university, all student writing is assessed by facultymembers.
