Data from the pre- and post-surveycomparisons are described here. While, in general engineers had pretty optimistic and positiveimpressions about how their skills would relate to design challenges with elementary schoolchildren and their families, a number of items stand out as being enhanced by the participation inthe program. For instance, most engineers agreed that at the outset they were fairly effective atteaching difficult concepts to non-technical people (58%). However after their experience in thefamily

First, itshould be noted that neither the original nor the proposed rubrics are true rubrics, in that neithergives discrete definitions for each level of each criteria. It was considered in the proposed rubricto provide descriptions for each level of each criterion, but when this was done, it created adocument which was not user-friendly in that it was textually overwhelming.
