Wiki+assignment+for+MIT111W

//Wiki Assignment Form//


 * Your name:** Christine Eckerle


 * Course name:** MIT 111W


 * Objective assignment will meet:** I want to incorporate all of these in this project.

**Access, analyze and use information relating to material selection, manufacturing processes and manufacturing issues.**

**Demonstrate effective written communication for a specific audience.**

**Use writing tasks to promote learning about manufacturing and engineering materials.**

The class has a team project that walks them through the basic steps to plan a manufacturing operation. They need to explore the steps to make a current product and then identify a product they would manufacture. They next go through a set of steps to plan out their process. Finally, they turn in a report describing the decisions they made. The second project is exactly like the first except I add a more comprehensive report requirement.
 * Description of previous assignment:**

This is an enhancement for this current project assignment. I would like to use a Wiki so that the class could share information about the project. This would include websites and any other information they find worthwhile.

The class has struggled with this assignment and I would like them to help each other with it. A wiki might help.
 * Rationale for assignment revision:**

Wiki
 * Technology to be used:**

I will give them a sheet like Nadine has given us with the instructions on how to use it.
 * Instructions students will need to use technology:**

Normally, I have sent my students to websites along with lecture on how to use this information. They have access to their textbook and to the library resources to determine what processes and materials to use.
 * Brief description of content students will need to accomplish assignment (textbook, websites, lectures, videos, resources):**

I give them instructions on how to complete the project so I would just add an instruction sheet on how to use the wiki technology.
 * Instructions for students to complete assignment:**

Grading criteria, rubric, and assessment: I have the rubric and assessment information and will be willing to share it later after I get feedback on the assignment.
