          Methods of Evaluation

          • Objective Examinations
            • Example: Example: One of the key guidelines for part design is to insure that a manufacturer specifies quality parts from reliable sources. Describe the "Rule of Ten" and how it affects product cost. This question is evaluated relative to accuracy of knowing what the "Rule of Ten" is and being able to articulate how product cost is influenced.
          • Problem Solving Examinations
            • Example: Students are presented with a problematic engineering sketch of a Pulley. Students must analyze the sketch to determine optimum methods for 3D modeling the item, then develop the correct orthographic and section views along with complete dimensioning per ASME standards. This is evaluated by the instructor in accordance with current industry standards.
          • Projects
            • Example: Students are presented with partial design criteria for a working assembly. Students must research correct components to include and develop a complete set of working drawings in compliance with ASME standards. This project is evaluated by comparison to current industry standards for development of working drawings.
          • Skill Demonstrations
            • Example: The weekly and semester drawings are examples to assess the depth of topic coverage and critical analysis for each student. A faculty member evaluates the student performance of learned objectives such as technical sketching, representation of sectional and auxiliary views, orthographic representation of design intent, accuracy to ASME standards for prototype development and the efficient use of a computer system. A point system is used and a letter grade assigned to the point totals.

          1. Instructor will present to the students during lecture/presentation/discussion intermediate engineering design methodology that the student will synthesize and apply to assigned problems and then formulate a solution utilizing correct engineering design methods.

          Typical Out of Class Assignments

          Reading Assignments

          1. Students read textbook chapter on Auxiliary View Development then Construct a drawing, based upon course readings, demonstrating the learning objectives. The drawings are evaluated for compliance with ASME standards. Critical thinking and problem solving are part of these assignments. 2. Search the Internet for articles that reference Design for Manufacture and Assembly and be prepared to discuss with the group.

          Writing, Problem Solving or Performance

          1. Compare and contrast methods employed in Design for Manufacture and Assembly- report either written or orally upon return to the lecture. 2. Problem solve the construction of 3D solid models and the relationship of geometry for feature definition.

          Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.)

          1. Develop a portfolio that contains samples of semester assignments to show potential employers the engineering design concepts studied. 2. Participate as a member of a design team for the completion of a semester design project.
