successfully. The contributions of the present paperare: (a) to gather these resources together in one location, (b) the establishment ofa design procedure for counter-intuitive learning activities, and (c) testing of thedesign process.At the present time, only the design process has been tested to demonstrate that ityields new activities. Ultimately, these new activities must be used in a classroomto assess their effect on students. It is possible that the activities are too simple ortoo complex. If they are too simple, they may not be counter-intuitive to manystudents. If they are too complex, they may generate high frustration and actually Page 12.37.2be

one of the highest evaluated classes in the University ofColorado’s School of Engineering. Students clearly enjoy the class, the process of learning todesign a spacecraft, and the feeling of accomplishment – despite the significant workload -- bycompleting the class. For some students the work in this class has been discussed at jobinterviews and has become the basis for a job offer. Two aspects of the class receive criticismeach year: a) the in-class presentations and b) the book. A small percentage of the class,particularly those who do a good job with public speaking, view the in-class presentations as awaste of time. Most students, however, show marked improvement in speaking capability bygoing through this process.Classroom Management

Roughness Front Figure 3- Inspection Probe (b)The inspection probe consists of a visible laser light source surrounded by four photo detectors.The idea of the apparatus is that laser light is transmitted along a hollow tube and reflects 90° offof a mirror and onto the surface of interest. If the surface is a mirror finish with no roughness,the light would be reflected back along the same path directly towards the laser source. If thesurface contains a rough finish the laser light will still reflect most of its light back towards thesource, but a portion of it will become scattered. Some of the scattered light will find its wayback down the tube, but not collinear with

They felt that the activitieshelped them gain knowledge effectively and improved their learning curves significantly. Thatsentiment is well reflected in the final assessment surveys. The ratings have been improvinggradually since the course assessment has been implemented. The Course Assessment is one ofthe most efficient and economical assessment tools that a small or medium-sized engineeringprogram can effectively incorporate as a core assessment tool to achieve students’ learningoutcomes and the educational objectives of the program.Bibliography 1
