. The reason for this is to provide students with aconsistent vocabulary and a consistent set of general expectations as they experience variouscourses and instructors in the program. The rubric’s aim is to avoid the students’ commoncomplaint that graded aspects vary from class to class as well as to avoid their incorrectperception that writing as an engineer is a moving target, one that changes at the whim of theperson asking for the piece of writing. In addition, the rubric follows the format of rubrics usedin many of UMD’s required writing classes and reflects lessons learned from the writing studiesfaculty.The difficulty of creating a writing guide that is specific enough to help students and generalenough to address differing audience and

The biggest conclusion from their study was thatstudents struggled to manage their time appropriately to finish the projects, but were able tocomplete them on time. In this case, the students were charged with creating a complete roboticsystem, not just a subsystem component that would interface to a base unit. They alsohighlighted the importance of using PBL as a tool to put the theoretical content of a class into areal life context.Maxwell and Meedem3 reported in their article the perceptions of students who participated in a1999 robotics competition.

I would like to learn how real gears are machined. Seems like it would be very specialized manufacturing. Could students be asked to make real components, such as gears and bearings. These ideas and suggestions are a source of new lab activities. Although some are easier thanothers to implement, many are worthwhile and reflect a deep understanding of gear concepts.
