Capstone Design Assessment
Transferable Assessments for Capstone Engineering Design
Engineering educators across the U.S. have called for practical, effective assessments to measure student achievement in engineering design.
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.
Upon culmination of this project, a monograph was written containing the results and current progress of the assements to date.
Engineering Capstone Design Course Assessments: Assessment Framework and Instruments
Capstone Design Assessment Phase 2
Capstone Engineering Design Assessment: Development, Testing and Adoption Research
This is a phase 2 grant for the expansion of the assessments created in the project up to the present date.
The goal of this project is to develop assessment instruments, adoption strategies, and facutly resources for effective, sustainable use of capstone engineering design assessments.
