course improvement. Thispaper describes the project and its challenges.IntroductionThe Engineering Technology Department at Kansas State University is moving to more of anoutcome-based model for its degree programs. The biggest motivation behind this move comesfrom two accreditation agencies. The North Central Association provides accreditation for K-State University as a whole. In addition, most of the programs in our Engineering TechnologyDepartment are accredited by Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET).1 Both of these agencies emphasis the need for astudent learning assessment plan that specifies the desired outcomes that graduates shouldachieve. Furthermore, there should be a

The course has been offered in thespring semester (January – April) two times – 18 students enrolled in the first year and 30students enrolled in the second year. The course has been team taught by two instructorswho, between them, bring substantial consulting, government service, university teachingand research experience to the classroom.

Students must declare a majorduring the first-year while preparing for co-op and adjusting to the fast-paced quarter system. Toaddress this process more proactively, an Undeclared Student Workgroup was formed. Thisgroup, made up of academic advisors who also teach UNIV E101, was created over the summerof 2018. This group focused on tailoring UNIV E101 content to meet the needs of this cohort,and created an in-depth communication plan to connect these students with resources that wouldhelp them to explore and ultimately declare a major before their spring term.Of the 118 Undeclared Engineering students who began in the Fall of 2018, 36 opted into

The students will conduct experiments on creating aCIM environment using computer supervisory control. By conducting a hands-on CIM labproject, students have access to the relatively new technologies associated with computerintegrated manufacturing, which enable them to participate in tomorrow’s rapidly changingtechnologies and become creative problem-solvers and designers. In this project, students designa product that starts with raw materials and continue with fabricating parts, inspecting,assembling, and storing.

The electives are used to fulfill two College requirements: 1) A general education component of 15 semester hours that ensures focused studies in non-technical areas; and 2) The remaining 21 semester hours provide flexibility for students to pursue a formal minor in an approved area or earn a certificate in a multidisciplinary area (e.g., Technological Entrepreneurship, Health and Biological Sciences, International Business, Law and Engineering) developed by the College in collaboration with other colleges on campus, or build strength in a technical

QFD is a “… means of translating customer requirements into the appropriate technical requirements for each stage of product development and production….” 4 Originally developed in Japan in 1966, QFD entered the US marketplace in 1983 with a paper published in Quality Progress.5 QFD is a heuristic design process that usually follows a four step design progression of 1) product planning, 2) parts deployment, 3) process planning, and 4) production planning, Figure 1.

noting that teaching a simpler notionalmachine is not enough to assist novices, as there are always layers of abstraction hidden from thelearner. Du Boulay et al.’s plan for instilling a notional machine likely fails because it assumesfact can be assembled into a working mental model. Many novices fail as “[m]ental models areoften not the product of deliberate reasoning; they can be formed intuitively and quiteunconsciously” (Sorva, 2013, p. 8:9). Developing a notional machine seems more like otherprocedural tasks, such as riding a bike. “If you have tried to … teach a child to ride a bike, youwill have been struck by the wordlessness and the diagrammatic impotence of the teachingprocess” (Bruner, 1966b, p. 10).
