AbstractSelf-evaluation by students is commonly used as a key element in program and courseassessment plans. Such instruments are intended to provide crucial feedback for programimprovement and thus play a significant role in closing our assessment loop.

The circuit is very simple so the students can fully understand it and analyze it in detail. This is absolutely necessary in order to be able to improve the experiment. Teaching an iterative design process that converges into a good project is a critical component of a high-quality college engineering program. 3. The measurement result does not depend on the value of the voltage source. Only its short-term stability is needed to perform the balance. 4.

These drivers can be classified into those of resource needs (e.g. qualifiedpersonnel) and technology related issues.

development, an equally important objective isthat engineering graduates acquire a set of complementary skills highly valued by industry suchas the ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams, leadership, time management, life-long learning, and entrepreneurship mind set. To achieve both objectives, we utilized theVertically Integrated Projects (VIP) model for experiential learning to guide our learning-mentoring approach [14,15]. The VIP model relies on long-term, open-ended, and challengingresearch and development projects with multi-year participation from undergraduate studentsworking on the different aspects of the project. Combined with close mentoring of experiencedfaculty and senior student participants, such learning-mentoring
