EGR 360-Analysis of Engineering Data was selected as a benchmark coursefor the EAC Student Outcome b (an ability to design and conductexperiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data).A description of the process, data collection efforts, and analysis ofthe results in applying course-embedded assessment method to thebenchmark course are provided. We believe the process presentedin this paper can be beneficial to others in the engineeringcommunity as they address compliance of their programs with theAccreditation Criteria.IntroductionIn 1992, ABET invited academic

If the virtual arm does not move the way their real one moves then they did notmeasure the D-H parameters correctly. In the camp the students were not able to grasp theprocess of measuring these parameters and relied on the student helpers. Software has since beenadded to the tool to support this actively. Once the parameters are measured correctly thestudents will enter them into the tool and verify their correctness. a b Figure 1: (a) the students build the arm, (b) the student measure the D-H parameter.Next the students will program their virtual

Students also needto recognize that the probability of success in the calculus sequence is very low if they donot earn an A or B in Precalculus8. Another barrier to student success in college calculus istheir lack of experience with appropriate learning strategies. Student surveys from thesummer 2013 program showed that students overwhelmingly learned to solve mathematicsproblems in high school by imitating the teacher’s solutions to specific types of problems;however, they believed they needed a different approach for college calculus9.

Based ona free-body diagram, the system differential equation is expressed in (1). Using LaplaceTransform, this time-domain equation leads to a position-to-external force transfer functiongiven by equation (2). Once the transfer function is derived, a set of parameter values (m = 0.1kg, b = 1 N*s/m and k = 2 N/m) is used to obtain the system transfer function shown in (3
