Assessment showsthat students’ perceptions of their learning associated with key outcomes of the course areencouraging with respect to the goals of the course and its contribution to those of the designcourse sequence. Based on assessment, changes have been made for future operation of thecourse to try to improve teaching of LabVIEW, increase students’ recognition of the relevanceand importance of the content of the course and to further develop the effectiveness ofintroducing systems thinking early in the curriculum with its associated challenges for studentswith little contextual knowledge and experience.References1.

This method helps keep Page 14.1132.10the instructor in tune with the expectations of the class, but also helps capture those situations inwhich the material was not properly tuned for the audience.Since 2005, 63% of students have received an A on the project, 31% a B and 6% a C. Nostudent achieved less than a ‘C’ on this assignment, which comprises 20-25% of the final gradein the course. The mean score was a 91% with a standard deviation of 5.3%.

Although our RE-Brakesystem worked for us, it lacked portability and was not interchangeable between bikes. Wedesigned RE-Brake specifically for our bike and all the measurements that we took matched ourdesign and layout, however, our next goal would be to make RE-Brake more modular and to haveit easily fit on various bikes and models.Once the RE-Brake system was attached to the bike [Figure 2a-b], three different tests were run.The first test was

To improve communication, students were allowed to determine the meansof communication that they felt most comfortable using and they settled on a free program calledSlack.
