Engineering Student Project Teams (SPT) is a large, complex, hybrid program, where applied learning, performed in a co-curricular-like setting, is reinforced through reflection and acknowledged with academic credit. The program model is grounded in experiential learning theory, which is viewed as an essential complement to traditional classroom learning. SPT participants gain valuable “real-world” skills in the areas of technical expertise, career-readiness, teamwork and leadership and often garner career success earlier than peers who do not participate in the program. Programs like SPT can be difficult to assess because outcomes depend on a variety of factors and each student’s experience within the program is unique. Ripple Effects Mapping, traditionally used to assess impacts from community-based programs, has shown effectiveness for evaluating other types of outcomes-based programming. In this case, the purpose of the Ripple Effects Mapping evaluation is to determine how closely student-reported program impacts align with program goals and course learning outcomes, identify any undiscovered impacts and highlight the most promising areas for strategic growth.
