Specificcourse-related topics, such as spatial analysis or localized topics within a field, also emerged insmall numbers (though some of these issues were themselves tied to students’ success insubsequent courses). A small number of studies focused on comparing teaching approaches toidentify approaches that lead to higher learning gains.Methods: How are we conducting assessments?With respect to the methods used to conduct assessment, surveys dominated the literaturereviewed, with more than half of the papers reporting survey data. Most surveys addressed issuesrelated to student satisfaction and attitude, though many also included self-reported learninggains. In addition

aspirations.In developing what is currently known as Engineering Criteria 2000, ABET reaffirmed a set of"hard" engineering skills, while introducing a second, equally important, set of six "professional"skills. These latter skills include communication, teamwork, and understanding ethics andprofessionalism, which are designated as process skills; and engineering within a global andsocietal context, lifelong learning, and knowledge of contemporary issues, which are designatedas awareness skills3. While it is traditionally easy to measure and evaluate hard skills throughmathematics, science, technology, and engineering courses, assessment of soft-skills poses somechallenges to engineering educators. In this paper, we present our experience in

instructional models without fully discarding them. Though this subjectwas designated to be delivered as a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) subject, the educationalapproach taken was such that the PBL delivery was only a part of a pedagogical toolbox. Themain educational thrust was one of inductive learning and teaching derived from courses suchas creative arts. Aside from PBL, the inductive teaching approach incorporated Case-Based(CBL) and Enquiry- Based learning (EBL) which provided the appropriate pedagogicalscaffolding for knowledge integration. Material technological sciences, manufacturingengineering, engineering design, issues of ethics, sustainability and environment were weavedtogether. Such educational approach was necessary if strictly academic

The prioritization of the design elements can beseen from their absolute and relative value shown in the QFD matrix. The design element absolute value is calculated by summing the products of theimportance value of each requirement and the correlation value at the intersection betweenthat requirement and that design element. For example, in the first QFD matrix, for thedesign element of “Institution-industry and institution-community relationships”, the absolutevalue was found by multiplying the importance value for the requirement of “Understandingof professional and ethical responsibility” (3) by the strong correlation value (5) to get 15.This value was
