We have notconsidered whether it would be practical to actually realize these capabilities. As we progressthrough the development of the DEF, it will be important to consider the practical considerationsof supporting any particular KSAB, and how it can be realized through specific course contentand teaching.Future work will focus on assessing the DECF competencies with respect to these practicalconsiderations as well, and will ultimately assess which of the DECF competencies have actuallybeen realized by the implementation of the DEF.ConclusionIn this paper, we

It is suspected that the impact ofraindrops made a large contribution toward suppressing the height attained by the rockets onthose particular days.Since the number of credit hours associated with the Instrumentation Lab class is only two, theonly assessment included as part of the course is the grading of the lab reports and the pre-labcalculations.

By starting with the range of statistical applications their graduates willencounter in practice, engineering schools can work backwards to determine the skills needed atgraduation and the topics covered in various classes. This is very different from simply requiringa statistics class and hoping that the right topics are covered. Faculty should be able to trace thestatistical topics covered in their curriculum back to skills needed by their graduates and programevaluators should look for such linkages. Of course, graduates will vary in their statisticalabilities and this complicates the problem of assessment
