,” open-endedproblems.During the Spring semester in 2016, we coordinated Capstone projects as well as a senior-leveldesign course, in both of which student teams developed gamification products in order to helpend users (students) master important engineering concepts. Later, in the Fall of 2016, twoCapstone teams (different teams from the previous semester) were formed to critique the pre-designed gamification products. This paper discusses the critique process and presents two casestudies, showing the final critique criteria developed by the student teams. Most importantly, weexpect to collect valuable insights from end users, i.e., what students can learn from thecriticizing process, and what lessons we would learn from their feedback. These

Quality assurance in engineering education not only requires teachers to put moreeffort in teaching, but also master the specialized knowledge and skills needed for continuousimprovement. Engineering teachers use diversified assessment methods of program includingconventional assessment methods of learning outcomes, develop new assessment methods,and positively reflect the reliability and validity of various assessment methods.4.1.4

Faculty reflections also notedthat the use of games that allow learners to answer the questions individually helped facultyidentify those students who had successfully mastered the concepts, which allowed the instructorto structure peer-to-peer active learning opportunities during class more effectively.

Lifelong learning is the continuous building ofskills and knowledge throughout the life of an individual [5] and is particularly important inprofessions such as engineering that experience continual change in response to rapiddevelopments in technology and regulations. Lifelong learning involves individualstranscending narrow domains of expertise by talking to others and sharing insights [6]. Forstudents to develop these skills, they must be able to realize when a problem or task falls outsideof their current expertise, actively seek knowledge from others, and understand how to obtaininformation from knowledgeable peers and mentors.Organizations benefit when employees feel

Students pursuing a Master ofScience will have an opportunity to become prepared to pursue research for their thesis, whileProfessional Masters students can gain exposure to research, while still maintaining
