Pierrakos et al. found that the three highest ranked technical learning outcomes include being able to generate multiple design concept alternatives, recognizing the need to consult an expert, and applying basic scientific and engineering principles to analyze the performance of processes and systems.
“The three highest ranked 'technical learning outcomes' include (i) being able to generate multiple design concept alternatives, (ii) recognizing the need to consult an expert and (iii) applying basic scientific and engineering principles to analyze the performance of processes and systems.”

Pierrakos et al. found that the three highest ranked student outcomes are personal and professional learning outcomes pertaining to working in teams where knowledge and ideas from many engineering disciplines must be applied, communicating effectively, and valuing that students taught and learned from each other.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
