The simulation of a part being cut and watching it in real time was awesome.”Another student said, “The concept of this course was very interesting and can be applied toplenty of real-life applications.”Final course grade data indicate that all students enrolled in the IRAM courses earned passinggrades. Final average grades were in the B range, approximately 79.5%. Three students earnedA’s in IEGR 488; two students earned A’s in IEGR 470; and one student earned an A in IEGR468.

referenced assessments 17, 23. Authors Wiggins and McTighe24, asone example, recommend a “backward design” framework for designing assessment methodsand learning experiences based on the desired learning outcomes. For interdisciplinaryteamwork, in this case, sub-outcomes could be utilized. One IGERT proposal, for instance,subdivided the teamwork and professionalism learning outcome into “(a) an understanding ofgroup dynamics associated with leadership, membership, and peer to peer interactions, (b) theability to listen, give, and receive feedback, (c) ability to set appropriate goals, milestones, anddivision of labor”3. By considering these learning objectives during the course design phase,faculty can avoid utilizing methods that do not provide a

homework score is also correlated with the final course grade.For example, when a student earned an “A” on the course, his/her homework score was above 90in average. Similar conclusion can be made for those students who scored “B,” “C,” “D,” and“F.” Many TAMIU students work very hard in their courses, yet a regular class time may not besufficient to create and interactive environment to address all the problems that students mayhave for the course. This situation is true for the classes where the student number is greater than40.

Onthe other hand, if the students submitted only 63% of their homework, chances of their success inthose courses were little. Another observation states that homework score is also correlated withthe final course grade. For example, when a student earned an “A” on the course, his/herhomework score was above 90 on average.

Based on the results ofthe trade studies, the students arrive at one general design.This general design must be completed by October 15th and presented to their advisors in apreliminary design review (PDR). At the PDR the students present the designs they consideredand how they arrived at their final design. In addition, they present a rough timeline for thecompletion of the robot. This timeline must include verifiable milestones. Often students willgenerate milestones such as “check on supplier for widget A” or “work on subsystem B”. Suchvague milestones are hard to

Crismond and Adams compare the traits of student designerscompared to more experienced designers and conclude that students a. don’t collect enough orthe right information before they start designing and b. make design decisions without properlyconsidering all options (Crismond and Adams, 2012). In addition, when designing new productsit is important to include features to retain current customers as well as attract new customers(Hamilton et al
