University to address simultaneously therequirements of the Accreditation Authority, and compensate for the problems ensuing fromthe standards of prior education of students entering these programs. In order to assess thePBL component of the programs within the School of Electrical Engineering, it was decidedthat a SOLO (Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes) taxonomy should be adopted.Initial experiences of using SOLO have revealed problems, resulting in the need to develop acriterion-valid and interrater reliable basis for assessment. As a case study, this paperconsiders the use of rubrics as a tool to augment the existing SOLO classification of studentperformance. As well as guiding students as to what is expected of them, rubrics haveprovided

Since the BS-CS program structure istopic-based, the Senior Project course was designed as a capstone experience. It enables studentsto integrate knowledge units from several CS courses such as data structures, databasemanagement, operating systems, etc. in a holistic way. The Senior Project also allows students tocomplete a significant project encompassing both design and implementation, and requiringelements of professional practice such as teamwork, presentation skills and ethicalconsiderations.

We continue with a description of the course being studied and the collecteddata available.

In this course,each class is goal directed, as it is designed around a problem-solving experience thattakes into consideration the programming material covered in that session. Problem-solving heuristics and program development tasks are integrated and introduced as seriesof activities requiring specific knowledge and skills that must be acquired and masteredby the students. The problem solving and program development process, consisting of formulatingthe problem, planning the solution, designing the solution, translating the solution, testingthe solution, and delivering the solution, begins with the students, and the
