Inaddition, the assignments were modified to follow the new structure. Problems are taken fromeach book and then combined so students can follow the same methodology as in the class. Thenext change was to modify the method of homework collection. Initially, homework wascollected via email and the student received feedback in writing. It was observed that in manycases that the student neither reviewed their errors nor the provided feedback. Now theassignments are revised by the instructor in each student’s computer which allows immediatefeedback. The final change was to modify the classroom

The team began their development of the curriculum by formulating a unified designprocess flowchart for use in all courses.

If multiple students are not making reasonable, well-justified assumptions, this suggests that the problem should be redesigned to provide morescaffolding that helps students make more realistic assumptions or more explicitly prompts themto write out their justifications. Second, having students metacognitively reflect on their ownassumptions is an important factor in their development of engineering judgment. Byunderstanding what assumptions students are making and the impact these have on design,instructors can highlight productive beginnings of engineering judgment and help studentsunderstand when they have made assumptions that

While this is true, the student is the customer / client but also theproduct. The student enters the university as one person and, assuming all goesas planned, leave as a changed individual who will now be employed by industry.Faculties are uncomfortable with the concept of “student as customer” or“employer as customer” but this is no different that the health care industry thatstruggles with the concept of
