- Mathematicians and scientists tend to exhibit strong assimilator preferences.In a capstone project learning environment, the education students experience is typically hands-on, kinesthetically based. Designing and building experiments are an important element indeveloping creativity. Learning from practical experiences is recognized as an important processin the learning cycle. Research from Makoto8 also indicates that seeking challenging tasks,critical reflection, enjoyment of work, learning goal orientation, and developmental networkdirectly and indirectly facilitate performance of the four steps of Kolb’s experiential learningcycle.BackgroundThere are about forty-five students each year enrolled in the capstone design course.

However, the instructor must provide sufficient structureand guidance to prevent students from giving entirely negative or hierarchial evaluations (5). Thus,providing a structured report sheet, similar to a referee report, is advantageous.At the University of North Dakota, peer review has been added into the undergraduate research lab,as part of an ongoing systematic effort to develop the oral and written communication skills ofchemical engineering undergraduates (6,7).

part of a strategy to address thisproblem, our statistics course for juniors was redesigned with input from our faculty and fromindustrial members of the advisory board. The new course emphasizes software rather than handcalculations, introduces application and follows up with theory, and uses case studies fromindustry and from academic research. This course is not isolated in our curriculum. Statisticalanalysis is now a required part of projects in Heat Transfer and Kinetics, and continues to beemphasized in Unit Operations. In this talk, we reveal the motivation for emphasizing statisticsin our curriculum, the structure of the re-designed course, and the assessment methods beingused to gauge student learning in this course.Why Teach
