Most first-time test takers of the FE exam are undergraduate students within an ABET accreditedEngineering program. For many of these programs, the FE exam serves not only as a steppingstone for students embarking on their Engineering career, but also as an assessment tool for theundergraduate Engineering program. Many schools use results of the FE exam for programassessment 1,2,3, which is often a component of the learning outcome assessment associated withABET accreditation4.

This consists of formulating a product specifications document and a statementof work, along with a manufacturing and assembly feasibility study. Through this course,students complete various deliverables such as a human factors study, which analyzes any ethicalconcerns throughout the design. In addition, students formulate a preliminary manufacturingcost, as well as the total cost for assembly. When these steps are completed, students must

Education, 2017 Group Work Versus Informal Collaborations: Student PerspectivesAbstractA substantial body of research exists showing that, when implemented correctly, the use of groupwork in a class can improve student learning outcomes. When implemented incorrectly,however, group-based assignments can lead to dysfunction and inter-personal conflicts that canhamper overall student success. This problem can be especially acute in first and second yearengineering fundamentals courses where advanced students who learn the concepts faster mayend up completing—and reaping the benefits of—a lions-share of the group work. As the coursematerial starts to build on itself, those students who initially

Since deer have eyes on the side of their head, they can see about 270 degrees around them. To the human, this new camouflage looks like squares that form together to resemble abstract art.

So, students that engage in higher levels of learning willreadily be able to apply engineering principles in their careers. The levels of learning that typicalassessments (homework, quizzes, exams) usually require are remember, understand, and apply,while design and project-based courses naturally are aimed to include analyze, evaluate, and create[23].
