University Calumet, we useassessment measures which include faculty evaluation, class critiques and written peerevaluations that individually addresses each level of technical, aesthetic and creative aspects ofeach project or assignment. Discussions or critiques first address the success of technical aspects,then move to the aesthetic aspects, and then the overall creative attributes of the students’ work.This type of evaluation is not only valuable for the students to comprehend each level and puttheir soft skills to work, but also provides valuable assessment feedback to the faculty.The CGT program is relatively new, having been started in the year 2000 with 18 students, andhaving grown to its present size of about 200 majors. The program has

include a combination of thestudents’ hard and soft skills. It is important to keep the number of students in a team to two orthree as having too many students in a group leads to members that do not contribute [11].Students were given a problem statement or objective. The stated objective of the automatonproject was to design and manufacture a functioning automaton. Prior to meeting with their team,students were given time individually to conduct preliminary research, brainstorm ideas, andcreate sketches of potential automatons. Afterward they met with their peers and discussed ideasas a team. The team generated one idea with which to move forward for design and manufacture.As a team, students assign the various tasks needed to transition from
