These programs follow an “Introduce, Reinforce, Master” curriculum mapas part of the assessment plan where each student learning outcome (SLO) is assessed in at leastthree courses of different levels, so that each SLO is assessed at each of the three levels(introduced, reinforced, and mastered). We seek to effectively assess, at the introductory level,the proposed ANSAC SLO (2) and the new EAC SLO (2) with a single project and rubric in ourintroductory physics courses. The primary difference between the SLO (2) from the twocommissions is that the EAC is more specific in that students must apply “engineering

ScienceStandards incorporate engineering design processes alongside scientific inquiryin K-12 settings2 . Using engineering design as a medium through which to learn relatedSTEM content has shown promise3 yet it may be difficult for precollege instructors toincorporate into their practice because many K-12 teachers and students lack explicitexposure to engineering design. Students who do engage in engineering projects oftenrely on trial-and-error approaches that may or may not connect to deeper conceptualunderstanding, or focus heavily on building structures without engaging in other designprocesses4.Modeling engineering design explicitly can help students develop design fundamentals,much like the principles of cognitive apprenticeship or explicit models

Usually,the goal is to give students a significant development and design experience that will preparethem well for their work following graduation. Sometimes the focus of a capstone course is onsolving technical problems of an advanced project. Sometimes the focus is on getting thestudents to produce a design based on the scope provided by an industry partner. Sometimes thefocus is on giving the students a rich experience in how a team works together. Sometimes thefocus is on the business side of projects and engineering.
