objectivesbetween the IDE and mechanical engineering versions of the course. We feel non-parametricmethods must be included in the course if students are expected to appropriately analyze thedata that they collect as part of their culminating Design Your Own Experiment (DYOE)project. History has shown that students’ DYOE data are often non-normal with smallsample sizes.AssessmentsTable 2 provides a comprehensive list of the assessments that were created to evaluate theextent to which students achieved the learning outcomes of the course. Collectively, theseassessments account for 92% of a students’ grade in the class, with embedded questions inthe online lecture videos (5%) and professionalism and participation (3%) making up theremainder. One notable

report’s requirements were relaxed to provide autonomy to the students inthe Control Systems course, the last course in the sequence. Rhudy [6] assigned short writing inthe five dynamic systems lab projects, and the lab report assignments included a one-page report,abstract with 150-300 words, technical email, and graphical abstract. Walk [7] applied low-stakes writing assignments consisting of abstract writing, one-sentence summaries, headlines,directed paraphrasing, definitions, application cards, editorials, online discussion groups, letterwriting, personal response exercise, journals, poems, and memory matrix, in the EET365W labcourse. The student cumulative average assignment scores were improved through the low-stakes assignments in a

ComputationControl (Spring 2021):The instructor for this course has taught it for many years and had used a structured laboratoryreport for the weekly exercises until it was discontinued during the COVID pandemic tostreamline student online submissions of MATLAB-focused weekly activities. The instructor re-implemented the structured lab report format for the control year’s offering. Students were askedto complete the computational exercises and answer questions in an electronic fill-in-the-blankformat. The structure of the “report” requested (1) objectives of the lab, (2) responses tocomputational tasks in complete sentences and with screen captures of student work, (3)conclusions in complete sentences, including responses to “What did you learn in this lab
