assessed. Learning outcomes related to theengineering design process, teamwork, and design communication are established over a rangeof performance levels. Tables of performance descriptions define engineering designperformance along a continuum of proficiencies from the beginner to the practicing professional.Along this continuum, learning outcomes are proposed for graduating engineers and forengineering students mid-way through their programs of study. Assessment instruments andscoring scales are developed around these learning outcomes. These scoring definitions andassessments provide bases for benchmarking student performance, for developing and scoringassessments of design and for communicating graduates’ capabilities to employers and

classes that they teach?The first discussion was concept-centered, specifically; it focused around the concept ofmechanical dissection and associated multimedia cases of engineering design with active linksleading to related courseware located on NEEDS. This concept-centered discussion began with ashort abstract describing the pedagogical concepts associated with integrated dissections/cases: A number of schools across the country have incorporated the study of artifacts and processes into the case-based approach to engineering education. These hands-on experiences help students become familiar with the machines/mechanisms that surround
