OutcomesUpon the completion of this project, students certainly gained some knowledge related to circuitdesign and collaborated with each other working toward a common goal. In addition, it can beclaimed that the project activity supports the following students outcomes set by ABET: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability; (d) an ability to function on

While a student in elementary school might be expected only toachieve scores of 1 for work related to each element of the design process, a graduating engineerfrom college, might be expected to demonstrate consistent scores of 4 across the elements. Thus,much work remains to be completed before the EDPPSR is a fully functional assessment rubric.Yet, investments of effort in continued development appear worthwhile given the far reachingimplications of the work.AcknowledgementsThis work has been supported by a number of NSF awards and by the Kern Family Foundation.Bibliography1.
