Adaptation to ABET assessment criteriaevolvement may become more robust.Assessment of Student performanceThe results of the course improvement may be assessed through student satisfaction survey[9,10]. This paper takes an outcome based approach. Similar evaluation approach was adoptedby SJSU [11]. Student assignment grades were used as measurement of the effectiveness of thecourse as being used in ABET assessment. This method directly reflects the students’performance in the course. By comparing this data between two semesters, the instructor maymonitor the improvements of the student’s performance. The assessment data are

Each team also presented a 5-minute “sales pitch” to theirclassmates. The students peer evaluated the projects in four categories: feasibility, cost,presentation quality, and appeal. The highest scoring project (Fig. 5) was created in thefabrication lab the following year (spring semester 2018).

activitieshad a higher interest in engineering than girls. This study also showed that biomechanics-basedactivities could increase interest in considering careers in engineering, regardless of initial interest.Of note, when both boys and girls had little to no interest in engineering, boys were more easilydrawn in by the outreach activities than girls. The challenge with engaging girls in engineeringmay be a reflection of intrinsic differences such as gender stereotypes (Bieg et al., 2015), andpsychological factors (Stoet et al., 2016) between boys and girls that are more pronounced at lowindividual-interest levels. Thus, it may be necessary to tailor interventions (e.g., biomechanics-based activities) that target girls with low interest in engineering

The two types of homework problems (in-house and textbook) were similar in difficultyand did not cover the same topic in every course. For example, if in one quarter, Newton’s SecondLaw is covered by in house assignment, it may not be the case for the next time around. This is toensure that the data does not reflect the difficulty of the topic. In addition, some in house problemswere assigned more than once, without given any kind of solution to the students.

As important as this project is, it deserves a fair bit of time, energy, and attention. The fact that I am a part of this paper, reveals my decision.
