In addition, students in Alpha Pi Mu administer an informal course evaluations about mid semester. Based on the feedback from the students, and knowledge gained through industry interactions, the course is continually updated. More industrial examples including actual parts are being added. Assignments have been modified to reflect suggestions by students.
