documents seemed veryuseful to evaluate any of the 3 skill areas for a pilot. However, an interesting idea surfacedregarding the team status meetings with the instructor in which an interview Q&A style could beused to gather sufficient evidence.A pilot was conducted in spring 2010 involving the capstone for Electrical Engineering as wellas Computer Engineering majors. The face-to-face meetings with the teams provided anexcellent opportunity to evaluate the skill levels. The instructor reported that each teamemployed all 3 skills at one or more point(s) during the semester. The results are shown in Table5 for all 6 teams. Good performance was observed in 2-3 teams for each skill; however, the bestteams were not always the same. No team

This relativecomparison needed to be tempered with the fact that less than half of the 2014 students actuallyexperienced an in-person lecture in the course.In the first year the discussion forum was open for students for Q&A with the instructor andinteraction amongst students. This was completely voluntary and no marks were gained byparticipating. In the second year, the course outline was changed to assign 6% of the final gradeto discussion forum participation. The expectation was that students would ask one question(start a thread) and reply to five other people’s threads with a meaningful contribution (not just“Liking” their post).
