Students
Design a device (a metal cutting tool : for example
broaching tool design), to perform a specific task.
Deal with open-ended problems that require identification
of the design goals and constraints, generation and
exploration of alternative solutions.

 OUTCOME ANALYSIS
Outcome3a:Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics,
science, and engineering to solve problems.
Students demonstrated their ability to apply math, science, and
engineering principles in 9 homework assignments, 2 midterms,
and the final exam. Their performance in these assignments and
exams was as follows:
Homework 70% of the students earned 70% or higher in
homework scores.
Midterm I 60% of the students scored 70% or better in the first
midterm.
Midterm II 75% of the students scored 70% or better in the
second midterm.
Final Exam 70% of the students scored 70% or better in the
final examination.

Student grades on specifically the written
aspects of the project are not up to
expectation due to their poor English
language.
The written submittals, while on average of
good quality in terms of contents, were not at
the high level of presentations.
