Faculty Review - Final Report

The purpose of this assessment is to afford faculty and their students an opportunity to review and evaluate the acquisition and demonstration of specific knowledge and skills. This review will take place at the conclusion of the Final Report phase of the Freshman Design Project. The faculty member's assessment will be recorded on this review form. A copy of the completed evaluation will be given to the student team as additional feedback on their performance.

Final Report

Throughout this phase of the project, the team demonstrated the following CORE knowledge, skills, and abilities: Not at All To a Limited Extent To a Moderate Extent To a Great Extent To a Very Great Extent

Analytical Skills
Applies logic in solving problems and analyzes problems from different points of view. Translates academic theory into practical applications using appropriate technical techniques, processes, and tools.
1 2 3 4 5

Communication Skills
Articulates ideas in a clear and concise fashion and uses facts to reinforce points. Written materials flow logically and are grammatically correct. Plans and delivers oral presentations effectively. Uses technology and graphics to support ideas and decisions.
1 2 3 4 5

Creative Problem-solving
Suggests new approaches and challenges the way things are normally done. Develops many potential solutions to problems while discouraging others from rushing to premature conclusions.
1 2 3 4 5

Life-Long Learning
Learns independently and continuously seeks to acquire new knowledge. Exceeds basic requirements of an assignment and brings in relevant outside experiences to provide advanced solutions to the problems at hand..
1 2 3 4 5

Project Management
Sets goals, prioritizes tasks and meets project milestones. Seeks clarification of task requirements and takes corrective action based upon feedback from others. Creates action plans and timetables to complete assigned work.

Research Skills
Uses computer based and other resources effectively thus acquiring information from multiple sources. Organizes and interprets data appropriately. Designs and conducts experiments to validate theories.
1 2 3 4 5

Systems Thinking
Understands how events interrelate and demonstrates an ability to take new information and integrate it with past knowledge. Integrates and uses knowledge from various courses, including Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, and Social Sciences, to solve technical problems.
