  8. Evaluation: Spring Term • 10% Oral & PowerPoint Presentations • 10% Weekly reports the other weeks • 10% Complete web presentation • 10% Poster session judge 1 • 10% Poster session judge 2 • 30% Advisor grade • 20% Instructor grade

  9. Projects (1998): • Primarily Software - 11 • Primarily Hardware - 16 • Hardware/Software - 5 • Process - 2

  10. Example List: • Development of a software module for ECMO training • Advisory Defibrillator Study • Drug/Anesthetic interaction/warning system • Harris-Hillman Special Education Projects • Design of a scar-reducing bra • Multifunctional Data Acquisition and Analysis Device

  11. want to see other’s projects want more FDA & Patents personality conflict 5 want improved expectations want more motivation want more structure 3 want earlier 2 Negative Comments

  12. individual attention 2 e-mail quick & efficient 2 all info on the web 3 “real world” 4 web design no class 2 inclusive3 organized 2 fair presentations Positive Comments

  13. Conclusions • Web postings - appreciated • Student web access - learned/useful • E-mail - efficient • Plan to continue/upgrade • Industrial projects - more needed! • Course via web? TBA
