Adesign tool, termed component functional templates, was developed to assist thefunctional modeling process. The templates are a simplified connection to the physicalcomponents with which they are familiar. The idea behind the templates is that theyprovide novice functional modelers function definition to common components. Thisshould help the students to

There are many areas of engineering to whichthe student is introduced in the engineering technology curriculum, each of which requiresunique experimental facilities to reinforce theoretical concepts. These facilities range fromsimple to very complex and are proportionately expensive to provide. For example, inaerodynamics there is typically a mismatch between the engineering problems introduced in theclass room and the ability to study them in a hands-on type of setting because the

Engineersmust have the ability to solve technical problems, master scientific knowledge, be creative, andapply the proper judgement to provide real solutions to real needs. The focus of engineeringeducation is on the acquisition of knowledge through class lectures, personal study, engineeringdesign and lab experimentation.

The approach involves a short case studyprovided to the students as part of an exam review sheet, the construction of design questionsbased upon the case study, the definition of detailed rubrics to assess the quality of the design,and the administration of the exam in a controlled setting. Student achievement is discussed, aswell as the advantages and disadvantages of this approach to assessing design skills.IntroductionThe teaching of design skills to engineering students is paramount to their success as anengineering professional.

On average, the students in this study had a total scoreof 8.6, slightly lower than anticipated. However, we believe that the use of the scoring rubricprovided a valuable tool for both measuring student performance and stimulating curriculumimprovement.As a result of using the proposed scoring rubric, we found that students who completed thesophomore EPICS course in the spring were performing at a lower level than were their peerswho completed the EPICS course in the fall.

It hasbeen clear to the Engineering Education community for some time that our students’ learningoutcomes are better when we teach using research-based methods that have evolved beyond the1950s-versions of our classrooms. Just as the hand-held calculator in the 80s, the internet in the 90s,and cell phones in the 2000s changed the way engineering educators instructed and assessed, sotoday’s technology enhancers (some might say disruptors) require us to adapt.
