introduced in these modules have been described and will be integrated throughoutthe engineering curriculum beginning in 2007. Plans for vertical integration include engineeringand health sciences core courses, laboratory courses, and advanced senior and graduate levelelective courses. In addition, a senior elective in “Engineering Principles in Sports” is beingdeveloped by faculty in Mechanical Engineering and Health and Exercise Science. Future workincludes some assessments of student learning and use in outreach programs for K-12 studentsand teachers.AcknowledgmentsFunding for this project was obtained from the National Science Foundation, Division ofUndergraduate Education (NSF DUE #0536307).

Thefollowing steps are used in LCA: (1) Define scope and boundaries, (2) Conduct a life cycleinventory, (3) Conduct a life cycle impact assessment, and (4) Conduct an improvement analysis.

advantages, some of these are:1. A separation of concerns among the layers based on their functions which leads to easier creation of authoring tools for such layered learning objects.2. The simplification of the authoring process itself by allowing to focus work at the different layers by specialized roles if so desired.3. A better introspection of the authoring process by allowing more points for measuring and assessing the progress of the authoring tasks.4. The possibility for introspecting the learner-to-learning object interaction (when an appropriate layer for interaction description is provided) by the capture of the interaction trace for subsequent analysis, which can support the modeling of the learner and improvements to

For instance, the quality data acquisition could be preformed by the Assistant Director of Assessment and Accreditation and procedure reviews could be performed by all the internal customers.The total cost of quality was estimated to be $15,225 for the first month of implementation. A$7,725 reduction in expenses would be observed during subsequent months of implementation.During the first month, it was assumed that more time would be spent because the process wasnot under control. Once the process stabilized, the variability of cost from month to monthwould be minimal.2.3.3 Process Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (PFMEA)PFMEA is a systematic

For example,students designed their own madlib story for the string-processing assignment and designed theirown custom recipe calculator for basic input/output and mathematical functions. Later during thesemester, students completed an adventure game and designed their own characters and theirbehaviors.Even though assigning “creative” assignments does not lend itself to automated grading andtesting, the author believes that to truly assess students’ code, the code itself must be read andgraded for style and quality.

Because it encompasses such a wide range of skills, teaching the entireBOK curriculum poses problems for traditional engineering faculty, not only because they lackpedagogy training in communication and teamwork,4 but because program-required courses mustalso include a full term of technical material.

Onesuch study by Meadows, Fowler and Hildiner7 has shown that student interest and perception inengineering increased when students explore topics aligned with the incoming interests.This paper looks at how offering a choice in lab projects affects the interest rating of the project astudent completes. Further, surveys were used to assess student attitudes towards the variousprojects and factors that affected their initial project interest and a discussion is provided whichsuggests how the current results fit in with past research on choice.Project OverviewsAll of the projects
