We have implementeda similar multi-year plan known as the Integrated Projects Curriculum (IPC), thatfunctions effectively for our smaller engineering program at Messiah College.Evaluating multi-year project work in various phases of development entails uniquechallenges as compared to the traditional capstone approach, but using a portfolio toassess the ongoing project work serves as a practical and effective tool, with sufficientflexibility. The portfolio for engineering assessment has been described by Williams.2 Inrecent years, a number of authors have identified various uses3 of the portfolio for thepurposes of engineering education; this paper focuses on our experience of portfolio usefor multi-year projects, in a progressive development

A computer simulation that accounts for all the physical effects that take placewithin a building, such as radiation, convection, thermal conduction, and phase changes, is calleda building energy model (BEM) [16].

They wrote a plan for meeting thesegoals, what support they would need, and what concerns they have about the course. They werealso instructed that they would be discussing their reflective writing with peers in-class.The second reflective metacognitive writing activity required student participants to reflect ontheir learning so far and to assess their progress toward their stated goals.

Co-curricular program evaluationis often complicated by a lack of resources for assessment, yet it is important that any significantco-curricular investment generates evidence to justify it. Without this kind of evaluation,leadership programs might be accused of delivering “Leadertainment” [5] – activities that areenjoyable, and might generate goodwill and profile for engineering leadership, but perhaps donot move the needle enough to justify the allocation of resources.This paper describes a program evaluation framework that has been introduced at the TroostInstitute for Leadership Education in Engineering (ILead) at the
