assessment is not simply on whether or not students “get theright answer,” but on how they acquire science and engineering knowledge and skills in the questfor optimal design solutions. Engineering design assessment thus requires innovative solutionsthat can track and analyze student learning trajectories over a significant period of time.Sophisticated data mining technologies originally developed for scientific and businessapplications provide such solutions.Year 1 Project Goals and ActivitiesOBJECTIVE #1: Advance the data collection capability of a CAD platform to create a “goldmine” of educational data.

EducationIntr oductionAs simulation based design and ultimately virtual reality become increasingly important inengineering practice, it becomes equally important to integrate simulation technology into theundergraduate engineering curriculum. Simulation technology covers a broad range fromcomputerized systems to computerized solutions of engineering problem formulations usingmathematical physics modeling, numerical methods, and high performance computing; all ofwhich broadly influences all engineering disciplines. Pedagogy of integration of simulationtechnology into the undergraduate engineering curriculum and pedagogy of computer-assistedlearning are related. The latter includes web-based teaching, CDROM, robotics, studio arts,remote experiments, and

However, it has been demonstrated that the projects which engage studentsfrom underrepresented populations in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics tend toengage majority students, while the reverse may not be true; see, for example, Cole andEspinoza8; Murphy, et al.21; and Whitten, et al.35 Therefore, analysis with respect to gender andethnicity may tend to validate that finding rather than demonstrate new effects.Table 1.
