The assessment toolsare mainly evaluation rubrics, and he discusses them in detail for each outcome.In order to provide industry level design experience through capstone design, most engineeringprograms seek design projects from the industry. Susannah Howe of Smith college [3] noticedthat there was a decided shift towards external project sourcing from engineering programs.In an interesting research study conducted by Mary Perrati

. Harvard researcher Christopher Jencks and his colleagues concluded that test scores aredetermined by factors that schools do not control. The vast majority of differences in studentachievement can be attributed to factors like the student’s natural ability or aptitude,socioeconomic status, and home environment .8 Wright et. al. indicate the opposite is true andhave noted that the individual classroom teacher has the greatest effect on student achievement.9The implication of this study is that more can be accomplished by improving the effectiveness ofteachers.

students donot have enough time to learn everything in various courses, mostly due to the work load inlaboratory classes and course projects.2.1. Research questionSince reducing the contents for the courses is not an option, it seems that the only solution to theproblem faced by the EET program is to improve the efficiency of student learning. This leadsthe authors to study the following general research question:How to improve the efficiency of student learning in laboratory classes and course projects in anET program?Improving learning efficiency is always a goal for educators whether or not they face the sameproblem as the EET program. Therefore, the result in this paper is generally applicable, withappropriate modification, to a broad range of

connections as well.An equally important line of inquiry for the present study is the role of reflection in experientiallearning. The research context, Kettering University, a technically-focused university with asubstantial co-op requirement for graduation (six terms), offers an important experientiallearning component that can then be integrated with academics. But it is not enough for studentsto simply have experiences. Dewey, an important early proponent of experiential education,claimed, “We do not learn from experience… we learn from reflecting on experience”6 andGibbs, in an oft-quoted passage, echoes: It is not sufficient simply to have an experience in order to learn. Without reflecting upon this experience it may quickly be

The faculty members are required to teach a minimumof 12 credit hours, conduct scholarly research and do services. Research and good teaching aretwo critical elements that influence faculty annual evaluation and promotion. The workrequirement without any major incentives for faculty members makes it very hard to activelyparticipate in the assessment process. Therefore, it is very important to make the process assimple and systematic as possible to encourage faculty to actively participating in the assessmentplan.
