Anynumber of these are quite effective in situations were goals are well-defined, task sequencing isclear, and seasoned work groups already exist for implementing the plan. Unfortunately this isnot the case in capstone design courses, especially those that use industry sponsored projects.Problem

The study suggests that a preparatory course for the exam would beideal [4]. Throughout the curriculum, exam familiarization materials could be used, along withfeedback on performance relating to areas of the exam for each student.To this point, papers have looked at how to directly assess SLOs, but very few have looked atwhat to do with the data collected. Most programs simplify their data collection by mapping allof the SLOs to a smaller and much less specific list of Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) andthen analyze the data more qualitatively, for example, with an 80/80 (80 percent of students

Engineering is now “up-front” and “hands-on”,and the approach has had a noticeable, positive effect on student retention2. A major element inthis effort has been the development of a first-year engineering program with a track for honorsstudents, the Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors (FEH) sequence, a tightly coupled three-course sequence with each course lasting the full 10 weeks of an academic quarter.The first FEH course is named Engineering H191 (or ENG H191) and offers each student a solidfoundation in the fundamentals of engineering graphics and CAD.

to measure the effectiveness of “generic” writing center tutors on the technicalwriting skills of senior-level Mechanical Engineering Technology students. A set of nineteenstudent analysis reports selected from a capstone design course were used as the source of thedata. The reports were assessed both before and after a tutoring session using a version of theAAC&U VALUE rubric and a voice-development-style-diction method developed by theauthors. By both methods, the improvements in student writing from before the tutoring sessionto afterwards were marginal at best, with some measures even showing a decrease inperformance. The sole exception was that a significant increase in hedging, boosting, andattitude words appeared in the students

As part of the introduction to the second phase of thedesign challenge, the instructor presented a lecture on universal design. Students received twoweeks of design development time, and two sessions of instructor and TA (Teaching Assistants)feedback to advance their design during the second phase. The final products of the second phaseincluded updates to the original concepts in terms of design and construction, but alsoconsiderations of diversity in user experience.In this paper, the authors review the improvements made to the Design Days Challenge as itreturns to an all in-person event.

Through ourreinforcement and policing of teaming behaviors, we are likely reinforcing gendered and racialcodes about what being “polite” or “professional” means.

While low income minority high schoolstudents from Title 1 Institutions statistically take less advanced mathematics and sciencecourses such as physics, SECOP encourages all of our participants to take a fourth year of mathand physics in high school to be prepared for Freshman engineering courses.
