tells you exactly where the defect lies. A well written unit test can tell exactly which line of code is at fault. Poorly written tests (especially large end-to-end tests) often exhibit very low precision, indicating that something is broken but not where. Maximize precision by keeping tests small and tightly focused. Choose descriptive method names that convey exactly what the test is validating. For system integration tests, validate state at every boundary. Page 26.332.5These three qualities are often in tension with each other.

importantpart of practicing responsible engineering. After implementing and assessing a health and safetytraining program at the Université de Sherbrooke, the following was noted: “Whether for thedesign of new machines or for the modification of existing machines, the engineer has to makedecisions that will have a major impact on the health and safety of workers. It is thus essentialthat the engineer be able to adequately assess risks” 9. For these reasons, providing safety trainingfor students will not only reduce the likelihood of accidents, but will give students an opportunityto learn about the importance of safety considerations in the design process

In our experience, by far the most useful as-sessment mechanisms have been assignments and examinations in individual courses. Thesetime-tested tools provide immediate and valuable feedback to both the instructor and thestudent. They also allow the instructor to identify any potential problem in related courses;for example, if the performance of a large number of students in a given assignment or exam

There is one computer organization and architecture course that needs to provide agood architecture background for students in computer science and exposure to embeddedsystems for students in the engineering program. One group is fearful of any hardware and theother group thinks hardware means resistors, capacitors and light bulbs or beams, bolts andweldments.

As DCS is the harder of the two forMechanical Engineering students, the data seems to support the hypothesis that having hadVibrations before DCS could help.Further comments are necessary regarding the results presented above. The correlation or lack ofcorrelation found can also be affected by such factors as:- the small number of experimental data points overall. This is due to the relatively small size ofthe program.- the fact that the Vibrations course was taught by a number of different instructors in recentyears, vs. the DCS course being taught by the same instructor most of the time. However Figures1 - 3 do not show a large effect of this factor on student
