, particularly on low-achievement students, who are led to believe that they lack ability and so are not able to learn.Therefore, it is urgent and important to find practical ways to improve assessment methods andutilize them to better serve students’ needs. The integration of instruction, learning andassessment should be emphasized.Fortunately there has been some active research regarding how formative assessments cansupport learning, improve outcomes and actualize the drive for lifelong learning. (Clark, 2012)These research are mainly carried out in disciplines such as English (Wei, 2010), Criminology(Gijbels, 2006), Medical curriculum (Weurlander 2012) or conducted with Primary andSecondary learners (McLaren 2012).

looming deadlines draw near. In 1989 while at the Software EngineeringInstitute of Carnegie Mellon University, Watts Humphrey introduced the notion of the CapabilityMaturity Model to describe the state that existed in software development organizations. Itincludes the concepts of “levels” of maturity and “key process areas.” Many organizations haveadopted this model now referred to as CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) and usedit to guide their maturation process. It is a framework that allows an appropriate, matureapproach to software development to become part of the organization’s culture. Marchewka9introduced the concept of “Assurance of Learning” coupled with CMM, a focus similar to thatproposed by the authors. In that work, the

such collaboration is the integration of gaming elements into different disciplines, commonlyknown as gamification. This topic is relatively new in academia - as is awarding university de-grees in computer game design; the discipline of game design has largely been an investigationwithin the discipline itself. Likewise, architecture, though much older as a degree-granting disci-pline, has also used, primarily, conventional architectural projections of orthographic projectionand perspective and, more recently, animation. The underlying argument of this paper is that acollaborative, cross-disciplinary approach to a design and presentation project - specifically, ar-chitecture and game design - has a synergistic value in the “overlap” or common

A large-scale design project requiring tools from many courses improves student problem-solving and design skills.By integrating five semesters of the mechanical engineering curriculum into a cohesive whole,this project has the potential to transform the way undergraduate education is delivered.
