The results of such evaluation can communicate valuable informationthat may inform highly consequential decisions for individual students, instructors, curriculumdesigners, administrators, and even policy makers. With such significant consequences, it isimperative that evaluation data, often

It is essential to draw the attention ofengineering students to uncertainty analysis. The law of propagation of uncertainty isconventionally taught in undergraduate engineering programs. However, many students find itcumbersome and intimidating for complex performance functions.
