The database was developed to servethree programs housed in one department. With the senior capstone project serving as a primaryassessment point in the program, it was a natural candidate to pilot the development of thisdatabase. In addition to tracking project progress, the database was used to decouple numericaldata assigned to multidisciplinary teams, so that the three programs could be assessed separatelyrelative
