, Engineering, and Medicine urged agreater focus on experimental learning to bridge core course silos. ABET also requires studentsto design and conduct experiments, analyze data, and draw conclusions by graduation. However,the packed engineering curriculum challenges additional hands-on lab courses. To address this,we explored an idea to extend learning beyond traditional settings. Inspired by the AmericanChemical Society's guidelines, we aimed to study at-home experiments for connectingexperiments to theories and investigated if students could independently design experiments athome, aligning with the senior chemical engineering laboratory course's objectives.

Our capstone coursesimplemented a Value Sensitive Design [9], [10] approach to analyzing the stakeholders for thedesign. Students completed a detailed stakeholder and value analysis for the client, and produceda set of customer needs that was used to guide subsequent stages of the design process. Besidesrepresenting a literature-based practice for analyzing the client and impacts of the design, thisapproach provided useful artifacts for the program’s assessment of ABET Student

engines still follow the best practice designguidelines provided to the students. This comment provides a hint at an additional benefit of theassessment project. Course objectives for both the capstone design project and the earliercourses featuring internal combustion engine design shared some internal combustion engineknowledge objectives. By requiring students to 3D model conceptual cylinder heads, theybecame more engaged in the cylinder head design best practices and became more knowledgeabout engine development issues. This is reflected in the open-ended quiz questions that areoutside the intended scope of this paper. The broader take-home lesson is that the whatever 3Dmodeling assessment is performed, ideally it can be tied to other subject

In the mid-1990s, however, the engineering communitycollectively began to question the validity of such rigid accreditation requirements” (Lattuca,Terenzini, and Fredericks, 2006, p. 1).
