Standards virtually effect all products and services used or traded by theU.S. while also providing the nation’s industrial base with opportunities to influence internationalmarkets (Khan and Karim, 2016). Standards play a key role in innovation and the transfer oftechnology, from the research and development stage, to production, and the marketplace.

Without this statement describing the nature of the assignment, there would be no basis for assessment. The need for learning objectives in assessment is illustrated in Karen Yoshino’s definition of the theory of assessment: “The systematic, intelligent generation and evaluation of student learning outcomes whose characteristics and properties achieve stated objectives and satisfy specified criteria.” Yoshino describes learning objectives and performance criteria as the grounds for assessment of student learning.18• Convey instructional intent to others.

For example, a team of propulsion engineers in an enginecompany may coordinate and communicate with a team of propulsion integration engineers in anairframe company, and those integration engineers are simultaneously coordinating with aircraftperformance engineers and the flight test team.
