The a-k outcomes established by Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) for Engineering students in their self-assessment framework, should be reflected in the different subjects that taught to the students of the first two years of the various engineering programs. On the other hand, in those first semesters, the vocation of the students about the different Engineering is not very well defined. This experiment shows a proposal that links the results of ABET with an international student competition such as Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Aero Design, to reinforce and guide the new students in their future choice of specialization in the School of Engineering. We also show the relationship between the challenges and problems in the SAE Aero Design competition for new students and ABET's a-k outcomes. We show the results obtained with nineteen students over three years. It is important to mention that none of the students involved in this experiment comes from Aeronautical Engineering (or similar to it).

“…Beck presented a similar concept for a course in 2006 [12], where the focus of the course was the project, with the course content developed around the research. Post et al implemented a design-build-test-fly project in 2010 into a fluid mechanics course that walked students through numerical and experimental methods [13]. In the project presented in this paper, the research is presented at a level that is not the focus of the course, but complimentary to the course, and is updated for what is available at the US Coast Guard Academy in the current decade.…”

Standards-Based Grading in a Fluid Mechanics Course

Standards based grading is a formal assessment mechanism that tests for student achievement of specified learning objectives, or standards. Standards-Based-Grading has been gaining in popularity in K-12 education, and also has been seeing increased use in higher education. With increased pressure from ABET to measure achievement of student outcomes, Standards-Based Grading provides a method to do that within the traditional course setting without having to generate a separate set of data outside the normal course grading. This paper describes how Standards-Based Grading was implemented in a junior-level fluid mechanics course that included both lecture and laboratory components. A total of nine learning objectives were specified for the course. These learning objectives are: calculate fluid thrust forces, calculate aerodynamic forces, solve pipe flow problems, select a pump for a system, select a flowmeter for a system, write a computer program to solve transient fluids problems, write a professional quality lab report, acquire and analyze laboratory data, and be a valuable member of team that successfully completes a project. The learning objectives can be mapped to ABET student outcomes. In this implementation of Standards-Based Grading, all assessments are done on a pass-fail basis. That is to say, there is no partial credit given. Once a student passes an assessment, usually given in the form of a quiz, on a given learning objective, it is assumed the student has mastered that concept and is not tested on it again. Students are allowed to re-test on particular objectives if they do not pass them on the first try. The final exam serves as a last chance for students to pass any objectives they did not complete earlier in the semester. Student achievement of the learning objectives is compared to that in previous semesters where a traditional grading scheme was used, and grade distributions are also compared.
