. While the students found the exercise difficult, 78.21% of the studentsthought the exercise helped them to see how all topics covered in CSC116 fit together, and89.74% of the students thought the exercise helped them to understand designing a 10program/application. The responses for the helpfulness of the exercise were very motivating forcontinuing to have similar exercises in future semesters. Examining the results of the commonrubric assessment, the students performed best with two rubric items: (a) Combining elements orideas in ways that are coherent and logical and (b) Adaptability and flexibility of thought. Forthese two rubric items, a major

Even better would be atrial of several sections of a revision b—one predominantly populated by STEM majors, onepopulated, once again, with a mixture of STEM and non-STEM majors, and additionally, asection designed predominantly for non-STEM majors who are curious

example of a progressreport template was shown in Appendix B. By contrast, technical reports required students todemonstrate the technical details of design and project management. For example, EngineeringProjects 1 technical report 2 (template shown in Appendix C) covered design assessment andrequired teams to detail their vehicle component research, safety research, plan for component re-use, purchase, redesign, or new design, and project management updates. Even though it seemedmore work compared to the previous progress reports, the students were gradually building theirSAE design reports along the way. In previous years, students would rush to finish these beforethe competition deadlines.Finally, for Engineering Projects 1 and 2, the
