The expectation was that the studentswould respond positively that they had achieved the outcomes, however, the faculty felt it wasimportant to gather the data to verify this as well as track any potential trends in studentperception of achievement of outcome.The assessment of

In the case of the SMA-actuated robot, the lecture covers some background onSMAs as well as introducing different applications of these materials. In thememorandum the system is introduced as a prototype robot that will be installed on amobile platform. The purpose of the mobile robot is to deploy sensors in a hostileenvironment.

Faculty members of Mechanical Engineering (ME) andAviation Technology (AT) share some of these concerns, and have discussed ways to approachthese problems. One method originated from a desire among faculty members to develop meansby which to motivate students in a ME senior design course. The AT department was chosen tosimulate a manufacturing division, and the projects were to reflect current aerospace design andmanufacturing processes.

Moreover, PBL has been usedin different fields of study, including the humanities [6] social sciences [7] natural sciences [8]formal sciences [9], and applied sciences [10]. In regard to PBL in STEM education, PBL can beunderstood as an educational approach such that students learn and develop deeper STEM skillsby working in teams on meaningful real-world engineering design projects [11]. Theseengineering design projects may have different goals, such as creating products or services,solving a problem, or answering a research question [4].

In the industrial settings in which our graduates are likelyto find themselves it is important to be able to plan and execute a quality test while workingwithin constraints which may be in place. Limitations on such factors as availableinstrumentation, constraints on operating conditions, and availability of test time all need to beconsidered when planning and executing a test. Failure to do so may squander resources andwaste the sometimes limited opportunity to make tests on machinery being used operationally inan industrial environment.Student Outcomes for Engineering Technology programs (ABET, 2017) include educatingengineering technologists with respect to experimental methods.
