Currently, our institution graduatesa large number of engineers that enter this medical device arena, and previously no formalinstruction was offered in the area of FDA approval processes. Although several institutionshave implemented entire degree programs focused on regulatory affairs1, the goal at ourinstitution was to design a single course as an upper division elective that would expose studentsto the overall process of device evaluation and FDA approval.

The specific content learning objectives of thecourse were unchanged, and the semester project was accomplished as part of the design,teamwork, and communication objectives of the course. Some undergraduate studentssaw the project as an add-on, but in principle it was consistent with the stated courseobjectives. The graduate course is intended as a review and

, grading of communications assignments in engineering courses involves writtencomments from the instructor(s) designed to give students feedback on their work. Thus, forwritten assignments the instructor writes comments in the margins and/or general summativecomments at the end or beginning of the paper. Similarly, oral presentation assessments oftenconsist of feedback sheets on which the instructor has written comments during and/or after thepresentation.The ultimate aim of these procedures is of course to improve students’ competence inprofessional communications. However, it often seems doubtful that this goal is achieved. First,written assessments are time-consuming for the instructor, which can cause faculty to be reluctantto give many
