. Typically, the objective is to design a device or process that has value to acustomer (user). The project begins by defining a performance problem associated with anapplication and ends with a design solution. The problem drives the learning required tocomplete the project. Managing the project requires the engineer to demonstrate effectiveteamwork, clear communication and the ability to balance the social, economic andenvironmental impacts of the project.” This description provides us with a good sense ofthe attributes of a project or students’ performance that need to be assessed. Based on the foregoing, it would be important to bear in mind that in any PrBLbased course, professors are mostly trying to assess learning in a practice-based

Both the accrediting bodies and the university make it mandatory to assess courses andprograms. The instructors of record are expected to measure student learning as per theobjectives stipulated in the syllabus. The study was conducted in Spring 2012. The perceptualimportance of the learning objectives of the course was measured both before and after thecourse was taken by the students. An

This procedure essentially requires only short-termmemory acquisition and an organization that allows for efficient retrieval of the information.With the increase in class sizes, most teachers find it difficult to disseminate information andengage students in effective learning. The use of information and communication technologies isgradually becoming popular as vehicles of
