course at the University of Notre Dame. One challenge associated with instructingCapstone Design is the wide variation in background students bring to the course, both inacademic knowledge and internship or work experience. Additionally, a one semester Capstonehas challenges of placing high academic demands on students due to both lecture material andthe capstone project being completed in the same semester. Compounding this challenge is thedivision of duties among the team within the project. In an effort to increase student agency anddecrease workload on the students, instructor, and teaching assistants, a competency-basedgrading approach was explored. The complex mastery of a capstone course hinges on successful completion of

,mathematics, and a final-year capstone design project, etc.). Two distinctions, however, can bemade between the two accreditation bodies. One is that graduate attributes in the United Statesare referred to as ‘student outcomes’. The seven student outcomes formulated by ABET [7] andtheir equivalent CEAB graduate attributes are listed in Table 2. These seven student outcomesmay be complemented by additional outcomes articulated by a particular program [7]. The otherdistinction is a criterion by ABET referred to as ‘program educational objectives’, which is againsomething published locally by a particular program. As far as the authors are aware thiscriterion does not exist in Canada.MethodologyThis section describes the course design and development
