. Page 12.880.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2007 Independent Student Design Competitions and the Assessment DilemmaAbstractOne of the most difficult assessment problems for faculty is student design competitions whereonly one or maybe two teams participate for independent study. Students are excited andfocused on the possibility of winning. The faculty is usually concerned with process andassessment in the context of a project and program not of their design. The issues are multipliedwhen you combine the problems of team assessment with a small sample pool of participants.This paper presents a case study in process and assessment for a single team of four independentstudy students that entered the 2005-2006 Airport Security

, thestudents initially do a test plan written report and presentation early in the course to get thenecessary background for the project. This enables the students to purchase required materialsand begin fabrication, if necessary, for the final project. The course ends with a final projectreport and a formal final briefing. While the workload on the part of the professor is demanding,the course was highly praised during the last two ABET accreditation visits. Student feedbackfrom industry also confirms the usefulness of such a course. The assessment tools used in thiscourse will be discussed in the context of the three ABET outcomes to be measured.IntroductionAssessment is an important process that must be accomplished for all mechanical
