As a result, we strongly encourageinstructors to incorporate formative assessments into their teaching methodologies to assiststudents in honing their skills in the realm of system design.IntroductionIn the realm of education, assessment plays a pivotal role, serving as a fundamental toolemployed by both educators and students. It functions as a means to provide essential feedbackthat guides the ongoing learning process, enabling instructors to tailor their teaching methods toachieve the planned educational objectives [1] - [5].

Data and evidence were collected and sources and needs wereidentified. Possible solutions with pros and cons were suggested and evaluated. faculty input wassolicited to validate the solutions. We planned accordingly and implemented the solutions e.g.new course was added and topics and RBs were reorganized. The new course was offered in Fall2023 for the first time, and its effectiveness was assessed through final course evaluations wherestudents’ responses indicated the success of the course. This initiative represents a significantenhancement to the WPI’s RBE curriculum. By addressing

The makeup of thisteam is of note as the faculty member was encouraged to use pedagogical strategies in this coursebeyond the active, problem-based approach she has previously used.

Engineering Experiences SurveyAbstractThis research paper presents validity evidence for a sophomore engineering experience surveythat provides an initial understanding of how sophomores experienced their second year ofengineering studies. While the sophomore year is a pivotal transition for engineering students,existing research and practices have largely overlooked this crucial period. There is a need toassess these students and understand more about their college experiences so interventions canbe planned and implemented. The primary aim of this research is to establish validity evidencefor the scales used in the Sophomore Engineering Experiences Survey (SEES). The survey wasadapted from Schreiner’s Sophomore Experiences Survey and guided by

As previously stated, the data used here comes from answers to a questionintentionally designed as a forced-choice ranking for the purposes of another study. However, theauthors were interested in this topic and wanted to see if it pointed towards any useful differencesbetween the two projects.
