The second paper, presented at the 2022 ASEE NationalConference, focused on a) the solicitation and collection of feedback from a broad community ofstakeholders regarding the initial 2021 draft of proposed CEPC changes, and b) further revisionsto the proposed CEPC in response to that feedback. This third paper describes the changes to theCEPC resulting from the first phase of the ongoing ABET review and approval process andfocuses on the development of commentary and training materials to support the proposed CEPCimplementation and use.

The code forArduino Uno was uploaded, and the soil sensor measured the moisture content in real time. Tensamples were prepared with varying soil moisture to calibrate the sensor. Students were able toconduct the experiments on the desktops at the computer laboratory with the assistance of aninstructor. The Arduino has proven consistent outcomes in other studies for different datacapturing and streaming [19].

with the students, the instructor has noticed that many students whotypically performed “B”, “C”, or even “D” grade level work in the instructor’s previous classes,often excel at the project aspect of the senior design course. Meanwhile, some “A” grade levelstudents have failed to connect the theory from previous classes to practical application, and thusstruggle with the open-ended nature of the project and the need to get work completed, even if thecalculations are preliminary and will need further revision. As a result, the instructor hasquestioned the use of letter grades in courses to distinguish between students as the ability tocomplete test questions in a given timeframe does not equate to how well the student is preparedto complete

Regarding ideas, participants felt their ideas were (a) toosimple/straightforward, (b) were previously used by others, (c) were previously implemented bythem, or (d) were not “original”. They also stated that external influences impacted the creativityof their ideas, namely (e) safety/risk, and (f) economic/practical factors. Regarding themselves asbeing inferior (i.e. “not creative”), participants cited (a) not being able to come up with new ideason their own, (b) not being able to come up with multiple ideas.

The learning objectives of the course can be clearly specified in the syllabus. b. A range of low-stakes assignments can be administered throughout the semester to ensure a steady workload with low stress points. The assignments should align with the learning objectives. c. Students can be given some flexibility to make choices about the assessment mode based on their own understanding of their strengths and challenges (e.g., an oral presentation versus a written report, a project versus a written exam, etc.). d.
