1. CRCD Intelligent Systems Curriculum Impact Assessment and Evaluation of YEAR 1 OUTCOMES (Implemented 1 and/or Projected ) 1 Levels at which Implemented ( i.e., F=Freshman, S=Senior)

2. CRCD Intelligent Systems Curriculum Impact on Design Knowledge To be able to measure CRCD Intelligent Systems project curriculum impact, over time, on students’ Design Knowledge, benchmark measures were taken for: Beginning Freshmen Freshmen Ending 1 st yr and also for Seniors Beginning 1 st semester of Aero Design Seniors Ending 2 nd semester of Aero Design An adapted version of the TIDEE Team-Based Design Knowledge Assessment Test and Scoring Rubric was used to measure Engineering Design Process Teamwork Communication.

3. CRCD Intelligent Systems Curriculum Impact on Design Knowledge: Team Design Process, Teamwork & Communication 1 Freshman vs. Senior Baselines ( Early Fall 2001) AERO CRCD Students 0—5.5 Scale Design Process Team Work Communication* Freshmen 2 (n=88) Mean Scores 4 2.712.591.62 Std.

Question universally misinterpreted. Scores Scaled 0 – 5.5, with 0=no knowledge & 5.5=exceptional knowledge

4. CRCD Intelligent Systems Curriculum Impact on Design Knowledge : Freshman Benchmarks. ** Post Test was given to a different set of Freshman * Validity in question. Question universally misinterpreted. Scores Scaled 0 – 5.5, with 0=no knowledge & 5.5=exceptional knowledge *

5. CRCD Intelligent Systems Curriculum Impact on Design Knowledge : Senior Benchmarks * Validity in question. Question universally misinterpreted. * Scores Scaled 0 – 5.5, with 0=no knowledge & 5.5=exceptional knowledge

6. CRCD Intelligent Systems Curriculum Impact on Design Knowledge Gained in a First Semester Freshman Engineering Course The TIDEE Team-Based Design Knowledge Assessment Test was given at the beginning of the first semester in a Freshman Engineering Class which incorporated a CRCD Intelligent Systems project. The TIDEE Team-Based Design Reflective Essay was given at the end of that same first semester Freshman class. Both measured knowledge of: Engineering Design Process Teamwork Communication First semester Freshman knowledge about engineering team- based design increased after completing their Intelligent Systems team projects (e.g. “Stiquito Projects”)

7. CRCD Intelligent Systems Curriculum Impact on Design Knowledge Gained in a First Semester Freshman Engineering Course Scores Scaled 0 – 5.5, with 0=no knowledge & 5.5=exceptional knowledge * Validity in question. Question universally misinterpreted. * Pre- Test

8. CRCD Intelligent Systems Class Design Projects Increased Freshmen’s knowledge about Engineering Team-Design Scores Scaled 0 – 5.5, with 0=no knowledge & 5.5=exceptional knowledge * * Validity in question. Question universally misinterpreted. Pre- Test
