integrated PRP component in undergraduate design courses, there isusually no requirement for product realization prior to the “Capstone Senior Design” course, if itoccurs at all. When students study production techniques using desktop or larger equipment,such as might be utilized in prototype development, they experience product realization and aremotivated to return to this equipment for the creation of parts such as are needed to complete the“capstone senior design” project. This is only possible provided the equipment is capable ofproducing real parts, not just wax models. Even prior to a capstone design course, in a coursesuch as machine component design, product realization equipment allows the students to makeand examine actual components

Since the one-semester cost is more affordable, it willprovide opportunity for more students to gain experience under such a program. The universitiesin the United States will get more income from their foreign counterparts. The exchange programmay be only limited to summer semesters. This option will also help the U.S. institutions,particularly when the numbers of American students enrolled during summers are reduced.

One of thoserubrics was used to assess student performance in MSOE’s four-year design process. Theintent was to give a direct measurement that could be used to assess program outcomes. Thispaper describes the development and application of a rubric for engineering design and thedifficulties encountered with that rubric. While difficulties were encountered, the MSOEbiomedical engineering faculty believe rubrics will produce consistent results that can beused to improve its design courses and the curriculum.IntroductionAlthough referring to pornography, in 1964, Justice Potter Stewart
