Lifelong learningAs with other accreditation boards, such as ABET, it is the engineering program seeking accreditationthat must devise the outcomes-based teaching and assessment measures to facilitate students’ learningin these areas1. To some extent, thus far in Canada, due to the pressures of accreditation, approaches tothis problem could be generalized as efforts to teach and assess the CEAB graduate attributes byindividually and equitably attending to each attribute on the list, despite acknowledgment by theWashington Accord that whilst all attributes are important, they should not necessarily be appointedequal weight2

Therefore, an alternative mode of integration, ethics across the curriculum (EAC), is beingadopted at several US universities, (e.g., University of Texas at Austin [19], The University ofMichigan [20] and Illinois Institute of Technology [21]). In the EAC approach, ethics is introduced to students in various technical courses duringfour-year undergraduate studies. During the second and third years, ethics are being discussed inconnection with the subject matter of technical course, and ethics discussion continues into acapstone design project in the senior year by considering the societal implications of a designproject[14], [22].

of a balancedpedagogical approach, that is, the one that integrates experiential learning with traditionalinstruction.One promising way to enhance self-efficacy is through the implementation of hands-onpedagogical approaches that actively engage students in experiential learning. Hands-on learning 2involves activities like Capstone projects, field exercises, modeling, simulation exercise andlaboratory experimentation, providing students with tangible experiences that reinforce theoreticalconcepts. A primary purpose of hands-on activities is to provide learners with actual experiencesthat allow them to apply engineering skills in real-world

a core skill that graduates should be equipped with upongraduation. To foster the development of these skills, design projects have been incorporatedinto the first year of many engineering programs in addition to capstone senior designprojects [1], [3].While there have been significant endeavors to incorporate design into engineering programs,an issue remains with the assessment of design tasks and projects. These forms of activitieshave traditionally been assessed through portfolios, rubrics, and criterion grading tools [4]–[7], which have some limitations when assessing open-ended design projects. Some of theselimitations include excessive time investment in grading, timeliness of feedback, validityissues, and low levels of reliability [8

lectures would have been requiredfor students to present 8 minute oral presentations in groups of about 4. Unfortunately,allocating 4 lecture hours to oral presentations was unfeasible because if impacts on limitedlecture and lab time necessary for covering other critical technical material. Unless otheralternatives were sought to provide students with opportunities to practice oral presentations,engineering student oral communication skills would suffer.The lack of previous experience in giving oral presentations can readily be seen when final yearstudents are given an opportunity to present their capstone final year project, and do a poor job ofit. In other engineering disciplines, where final year projects are not a requirement, students cango

were also working to complete their capstone designprojects, and many of them were traveling for interviews. However, the advantage of catchingthem at this position in the departmental study plan is that the students were also more aware ofthe potential benefit of the course on their career, and the concept of adding this course project totheir resume was very attractive. In spite of catching the students at the end of their collegeexperience, the classroom demographics were favorable. When making decisions on the applicability of any set of techniques or approaches toteaching a course, several factors must be balanced. The position of the course within thedepartmental curriculum could affect the course load and the ability of the
