Since the implementation of this work is in progress, no assessment on theoutcome of the course can be produced at this time. However, a discussion of the lessonslearned, observations made, and formal and informal feedback from the students can beproduced and are provided in this section.

From an assessment perspective, the consideredreasoning applied by the students based on the option they select as their answer provides insightinto conceptual misunderstandings that the students may have, and allows for the weaknesses intheir understanding to be better evaluated.ConcepTests can be utilized in course instruction in a number of different approaches, many ofwhich involve active learning.

world projects (citation), yet grading and the grading scale (ABCDF) hasremained as it was in the late 1800s (Durm 1993). The traditional letter grade model, whichconsists of an accumulation of points to specific grade thresholds (typically 90%, 80%, 70%, and60% of points) results in assessments that at times does not depict a true understanding of thestudents’ knowledge of the subject or serve as a predictor of future success in a career. There hasbeen dissatisfaction with this system by educators for years, but it remains the commondenominator for judging students' preparedness for career and turns grades “into a game, theobject of which is to maximize the number of points towards one’s grade with the lowestpossible investment of time and

Similarly, based on the student courseratings data students rated highly the relevance and usefulness of this course. We believe thatwith the skills they develop in this class, students will start their engineering careers well-prepared to progress upward professionally.1.

students improve their interpersonal and leadership skills, which arecritical skills upon entering the work force [2].Multiple methods of team selection have been studied to optimize team performance and teamdynamics. Often, selection involves instructors attempting to form balanced design teams toobtain a mix of personalities and skills, using surveys to assess interest in the project, academicstrength, work experience, personality, access to transportation, nationality and gender, and pastpersonality conflicts. Personality tests such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the HermannBrain Dominance Instrument may be utilized to obtain a mix of personalities within the team[2].Some instructors may opt to select teams based on student performance

Rather than evolving fromlearning theory or research, current grading practices have primarily arisen from canonicalpractices created three centuries ago, originally created to rank students against each other. Suchranking or competition derived practices are out of alignment with modern outcomes-basedengineering assessment practices. Specifications grading, an alternative, is a framework forassessment grounded in learning theory as well as student agency. The cornerstone ofspecifications grading is treating each assignment as a pass/fail marker of mastery using clearlydefined and transparent criteria. With limited examples in engineering, this paper provides aclear introduction to specifications grading for

Title 5 § 40508 [1] states that “[a]s of the fall term of the 2014-2015 academic year, no baccalaureate degree programs shall extend the unit requirement beyond 120 semester units…” This mandate and short timeline for implementation necessitated swift action for proposals to be submitted and approved via campus curriculum committees and
