The proposals were evaluated using the “Client: ProposalEvaluation Rubric.” Appendix B provides an example use of this rubric, containing the feedbackprovided to one of the programming teams. This rubric was used formatively, with teams notpermitted to go forth into the code development phase until they satisfactorily addressed alldesign-oriented shortcomings via submission of a revised proposal, which was also evaluated viaapplication of the Proposal Evaluation Rubric.For purposes of implementing a critical design review process, teams presented their applicationsin a science fair exhibition-type format, illustrated

Although few studies specifically study or report the disciplinary identities or visions forparticular engineering disciplines, we posit that a more thorough understanding of the ideologiesand disciplinary identities may help students select an engineering research discipline that fitstheir personal epistemologies regarding the purposes and impacts of engineering researchcareers.
