been pivotal in the development of structural programs to promote research inpredominantly undergraduate institutions [2]. This has led to an increase in undergraduateresearch programs at different universities over the last 35 years.Several models for undergraduate research programs exist, in addition to REUs. These modelsinclude capstone experiences, senior theses, internships and co-ops, course-based undergraduateresearch experiences (CURES), wrap-around experiences, bridge programs, consortium/project-based programs, community-based research programs [1], [3]. However, most of these programsare relatively short-term (i.e., limited to one to two semesters) and thus constrain how deeplystudents can delve into their research.Earlier studies

interactions • Senior design project - The hallmark of the engineering curriculum at Seattle University is our senior design (capstone) project, an academic year-long design project sponsored by local industry, government agencies, or nonprofit organizations. The Project Center at Seattle University interfaces with sponsors to find real-world assignments for design teams typically comprised of 4 students and supported by a faculty advisor, an industry liaison, and a department project coordinator. Over the course of the academic year, teams are responsible for both technical aspects of the project including designing, building, and testing a prototype (if applicable), and project management

The firstoutcome, “an ability to formulate, and solve complex engineering problems,” students don’tusually engage in until their capstone design course, although an OEMP will expose students tocomplex engineering problems that are solvable with their level of engineering and appliedphysics knowledge. The second ABET outcome, “an ability to apply engineering design toproduce solutions that meet specified needs” including socio technical factors, is difficult tofulfill with closed ended problems, because there is no one correct solution for any engineeringproblem

To foster the development of these skills, design projects have been incorporatedinto the first year of many engineering programs in addition to capstone senior designprojects [1], [3].While there have been significant endeavors to incorporate design into engineering programs,an issue remains with the assessment of design tasks and projects. These forms of activitieshave traditionally been assessed through portfolios, rubrics, and criterion grading tools [4]–[7], which have some limitations when assessing open-ended design projects. Some of theselimitations include excessive time investment in grading, timeliness of feedback, validityissues, and low levels of reliability [8
