student learning outcomes. This paper describes a faculty training protocoldesigned to demonstrate (a) how to assess (score) student artifacts with a rubric; in other words,effective use of rubrics, and (b) how insights gained from the assessment can guide programimprovement by identifying weaknesses and suggesting solution paths. For example, effectiveassessment can be used to determine if a new assignment is needed or if an existing assignmentneeds to be modified. The protocol is also an effective means for training faculty into thenuances of a particular learning outcome (and its associated rubric) and for gaining insights intopossible deficiencies in the rubric that should be addressed.This paper will describe the training protocol.

Designs are scored on technical merit(need identification, concepts of operations, requirements, constraints, design alternatives, designanalyses, alternative selection criteria, final design viability, and design presentation) and teamperformance. This decides the total number of points available for the team. Individuals withinthe team are allocated points from within the total number of points based on instructorobservations, TA observations, and peer evaluations. It is not at all uncommon for some teammembers to get high grades (A or A-) while others get grades at the B or C level. Once, therewere four (A to A-) level grades and one F grade for a team of five students.Interim Individual Progress Reports -- In spring 2012
