that students have many opportunities to practice and that they receive rapid and accuratefeedback on whether they are drawing the correct diagram for a given mechanical problem. Withthe growing student enrollment in many engineering programs, however, it becomes increasinglydifficult to provide prompt and accurate grading using the traditional approach of having studentssubmit hand-drawn diagrams which are graded by a teaching assistant or grader. One way tocircumvent this overwhelming grading process in large classes is to adopt multiple-choicequestions. Unfortunately, assessing drawing skills using a multiple-choice instrument is mostlylimited to testing students’ interpretation of given drawings, rather than testing their ability

As aresult, the need to assess the results of the instruction delivered is at the very least a value addedstep in the instructional process. Instructional programs should be able to identify the standardsto which they are teaching and the extent to which their graduates meet those standards.Most instructional programs seek feedback and respond to the feedback at the course, program,and product performance levels. The standards established by most programs are based on goodand well established practices—ie focus groups, advisory boards, surveys, and the like, as aretheir measurement
