From this section it wasobvious from the various comments, that the virtual experiment was a new experience formost of the students, the experience was however a good one as most of them are lookingforward to it being a full part of their curriculum. While this initial assessment looks ratherpositive, it is inconclusive due to the few number of students involved and the fact that thework is still ongoing.It is planned to include these experiments as part of the laboratory coursework for thestudents

In an NSF surveyconducted over the past 2 decades, 90 % of U.S. adults report being very interested ormoderately interested in new scientific discoveries and the use of new technologies. However,only 17 % of those surveyed felt well informed or moderately well informed about science andtechnology, and thirty percent felt poorly informed2.Technological illiteracy among the general population may be linked to the lack of diversity inthe engineering profession.

Participation enables students to foster innovative ideas and apply them to real-world scenarios [1]. Students can develop leadership qualities by navigating a technical andinnovative ecosystem, like an ICP, that provides practice opportunities [2]. The success of ICPsrelies on the effective implementation of best practices by their organizers and coordinators. Anorganizer must keep the best interests of their participants in mind when planning, running, andexecuting these competitions and programs [3].

Collectively these inputs provide confidence in our final gradeswith regard to student understanding, application of appropriate use of the design process,teamwork, communication, and overall contribution to project success. Overall we have foundthat project level course administration has introduced greater resolution and insight intounderstanding and improving student assessment and that separating mentor and evaluator rolesis effective in maintaining clarity in technical advice and in performance expectations in thecontext of multidisciplinary capstone design project-based learning.References:[1] Sheri D.

The idea is based onbuilding machines that can reproduce almost all of the components to make copies of themselvesusing the RP process, and through collaboration with other groups, implement improvements tothe previous generation of machines. By looking at the machine in terms of subsystems,multiple engineering strategies and tools were employed to complete the project.
