AB  - ABET’s student outcome 7 requires that students have “an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies”. The Mechanical Engineering Department at Fairfield University identified ABET 7 as one of the student outcomes that was not address by many courses except for senior design. Micro and Nano Manufacturing, a senior elective and graduate level course was identified as one of the courses though which ABET student outcome 7 could be assessed. This was implemented via three different learning strategies: weekly discussion board that students answer individually, midterm project that students work on individually, and a group presentation on emerging technologies. This paper discusses the implementation of these strategies and student performance on each of these activities in 3 sections spread across 2023 and 2024. The weekly discussion and group presentation on emerging technologies focus on the acquiring knowledge sub-outcome whereas the midterm project focuses on both, acquire and apply sub-outcomes. The weekly discussion board requires students to answer 2 questions relevant to the class topics by finding journal articles published in the last 3 years that address the issue at hand. The group presentation requires the student groups to present on one emerging technology and the information can be obtained from a variety of sources such as journals, magazines, and technical reports. The midterm project requires students to research and understand the working mechanism of micro fluidic mixer and apply the knowledge to design of a serpentine micromixer. Student performance on each of these activities is rated as either Poor, Below expectation, Meets expectation, and Above expectation. The results demonstrate that further work is needed in the area of weekly discussion board as students are not able to identify the right sources and the quality of information provided needs to be improved.
