the programming language being taught. This language is still sometimesused for code development at the graduate level. Research level computational work at LosAlamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories is often done with FORTRAN.Despite FORTRAN’s historical importance, C (also C++) programming has become much morewide spread. Thus, several years ago FORTRAN was dropped in favor of C. Because of thischange it was possible for ME students to take a programming class from the Computer ScienceDepartment as well as through their own department. This scheduling flexibilitynotwithstanding, C programming was dropped this academic year in favor of the higher levelprogramming available with Mathcad and Matlab.Once the decision to drop

, which begins by defining the desired long term objectives. Given the available inputs, one can then plan the desired shorter term outcomes and the activities that would help meet those goals. Using this organized approach, it is then much easier to determine how to best measure whether the objectives are being met. This approach was highly successful and resulted in an evaluation process that was integrated into the project. 1 Page 9.991.1Proceedings of the 2004 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2004, American Society for

assessing a group of students, not assessing eachstudent. The first draft of the assessment plan consisted of collecting and assessing a great dealof student work. Upon review of the draft, some feedback from Dr. Miller, and further research,the decision was made to collect a much smaller set of student work with the idea that a crosssectional profile is enough6. For example, if technical writing is being assessed and lab reports Page 10.513.2from 3 different courses are being collected, the question must be answered; “is different Proceedings of the 2005 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition

The outcomesof this program are substantiated with student surveys and feedback from the various courses.I. Academic Program Goals “I enjoyed the design projects.
