Results Of An Edg Student Outcomes Survey

Student outcomes are the knowledge, skills, and abilities that students should be able to demonstrate at the completion of an educational experience. This past year, our group has developed a list of potential student outcomes that could be used for a modern Engineering Design Graphics (EDG) course. In an effort to obtain consensus on these EDG outcomes, a survey was conducted at the Midyear Meeting of the Engineering Design Graphics Division of ASEE in Scottsdale, Arizona in November 2003. The survey was implemented in two stages. First, an interactive real-time survey was conducted during the oral paper presentation using the Classroom Participation System (CPS). Secondly, a more extensive pencil and paper survey was distributed to the attendees at the start of the conference, and was returned to the authors before the completion of the conference. This paper presents the results of that survey and attempts to interpret the results as a means for developing a modern taxonomy for the EDG field.
