| Description: | Transferable Assessments for Capstone Engineering Design across all engineering disciplines. Engineering educators across the U.S. call for practical, effective assessments to measure student achievement in engineering design. The website has a description of project goals, assessment instruments, learning tools and training workshops. The goal of this project is to meet this need by creating a versatile system for reliable assessments of student learning outcomes for capstone design courses across engineering disciplines and institutions. Assessment tools will be developed by a multi-institution faculty team with input from a diverse set of expert consultants and stakeholders. |

Project objectives: " 1. Develop a capstone engineering design course assessment framework to organize and guide the addition of capstone course assessment instruments applicable across engineering disciplines. 2. Establish requirements for specific capstone design course assessment instruments that meet needs of varied institutions, disciplines, and course configurations in the US. 3. Create a set of assessment instruments for measuring student performance in capstone engineering design courses nationally. 4. Conduct pilot tests to demonstrate versatility and value of assessment instruments for diverse capstone design courses and students. 5. Produce support materials that enable rapid adoption of assessment instruments for additional capstone design courses." |
