To ensure these valuable outcomes are met, introductory ECEeducators invest significant effort in course assessment and improvement. Such efforts have beendocumented in literature, including developing new lab tools, incorporating project-basedlearning, and proposing new course assessment methodologies and educational interventions.Adopting a student-centric lens, we propose a new methodology for early ECE courseassessment called CARE, referring to the intersecting areas of the most Challenging AndRewarding Experiences that students have had in line with the main course

Additionally, students also gaininvaluable perspectives often difficult to glean from traditional classroom instruction such asconstructability and tolerance issues.
