class. The data reveal common themes or features the teachersfocused on in their design of the rubric. The teachers initially focused on team and process-oriented features (e.g., teamwork, organization, steps of design process) and how well the finalsolution worked. The teachers tended to focus less on knowledge-oriented features relating to theapplication of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) principles as theydeveloped their rubrics. As the teachers applied their newly developed rubrics to their students’final projects, they focused on surface features of teamwork and process and struggled to identifythe specific technical accomplishments of the teams’ work. The conclusion includes implicationsand future research work

The importance of teaching design in engineering education has been highlyrecognised by Professional Engineering Associations; for example, the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) and the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board(CEAB) have recognized facility with design as one of the most important learning outcomes ofan engineering education. However, design is difficult to teach because (1) design is a complexcognitive process [2], which requires what are classified in the Bloom’s taxonomy [3] as higher-level thinking skills: analysis, evaluation and
