A target score of 8.0 for all outcomes is based on the need for students to demonstratecompetence in these professional components. Students’ self-evaluation was consistently eithercomparable or slightly higher than faculty evaluation; however, student performance indicatesthat students have achieved the course outcomes. Outcome 5 (peer evaluation) remains theweakest area, and efforts to increase coverage of this topic in sophomore and junior designclasses are ongoing.In general, students are proving themselves to be effective team members; they are

Students may not fully understand the complexities of the individualproblems, but they can better appreciate the numerical methods used for their solution.The final goal is less definable. The instructors wanted to improve the overall “usefulness” ofthe course as perceived by the students. In general, the old version of the course was not wellreceived. A majority of students did not see the relevance of a numerical methods course andtended to only be concerned with short term goals, i.e. getting a good grade. The instructorshope that the redesigned version of the course is received more positively than the old version. Itis hypothesized that if the

(i.e., to help educators select a120 textbook, to assess general quality, and to consider representation and diversity), it is121 increasingly popular to critically assess coverage of a specific topic. Consider an example from122 physics, where a textbook review found that Pascal’s principle is covered poorly in123 undergraduate texts (Anselmo, Hidalgo, and Queiroz 2020). Similarly, a textbook review in124 chemistry found that descriptions of the Brønsted-Lowry Acid-Base equilibria were muddled and125 inconsistent (Meister et al. 2014). These authors persuasively argue that these topics are126 foundational to the undergraduate curriculum and therefore merit careful inclusion in textbooks.127 This article makes an analogous

The Case Study used for this demonstration of the DesignProcess Methodology was: How to stop a person from snoring. The problem is not exactly themost mechanically inspiring design topic but was selected in particular for its abstractnessfrom an article written by Ms. Catherine Foster entitled ‘Mr. Sandman’, published in theBoston Globe magazine on Sept. 5, 1999; coincidentally the first week of Machine Designclass. It’s selection as a theme for demonstrating the design process was based solely on theexpressed intent of the Instructor to select an arbitrary problem which could
