design, portfolio assessment, scoring BACKGROUND Today, decades after the term “rubric” began to enter common parlance among educators, onemight well ask, “What more is left to say about rubrics that has not already been said?” Articles,book chapters, and entire volumes have been written about rubrics—what they are, what typesexist, how they are created, and how and why they should be used. Many of those involved in edu-cation were first introduced to rubrics in the 1970s and 80s as scoring tools to facilitate the directFALL 2017 1 ADVANCES IN

1 ADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION Updating Assessment Styles: Website Development Rather Than Report Writing for Project Based Learning Coursesthe method of teaching (Mohler, 2001). In response to this teaching styles are evolving. An exampleof a shift in teaching styles is the incorporation of project based learning into many engineeringcourses (for example Chandrasekaran et al., 2012; Hsu and Liu, 2005; Steinemann, 2003). However,even though the teaching method has changed the assessment of project based learning coursesis often via a traditional written report (for example Martinez, et al., 2011; Palmer et al., 2011
