pdfEngineering Design Challenge Activity
Educator Feedback Form (Retrospective Survey)
Instructions: As a current instructor of the NASA Education Engineering Design Challenge
(EDC) Activity, you’ve been selected to take part in this questionnaire to test a future survey for
clarity and comprehensibility. The questions below ask about your experiences with the NASA
EDC you instructed in the Fall of 2016. Your answers to these questions will help us learn more
about the activity, including what worked well and what we may improve on. Please complete
the questions on this survey to the best of your ability. This survey is voluntary. You do not have
to take the survey or answer any questions you do not want to. Also, your responses are
confidential, meaning that your name will never be tied to your responses and no one will know
how you responded to these questions.
We also want to validate the estimate for how long it takes to complete this survey. Therefore,
we ask that you please note the time that you start this survey because we will ask at the end how
long it took to complete this survey.
Thank you very much for your help!
If you wish to participate in this survey, please continue.
