educational process outside the classroomand ways to encourage students to have a more direct role in their own personal development.For this purpose, we present here the Notre Dame Electronic Portfolio (NDeP) project, which isdesigned to help us meet this goal. To date, we have successfully launched the NDeP project to aclass of ~80 chemical engineering sophomores who were able to create electronic portfolios, andwe were able to assess these portfolios using a rubric developed for this purpose.IntroductionThe primary goal of our undergraduate program is to produce engineers who are one step aheadof their peers, who have begun to prepare themselves for more than just their entry-level jobs. Inorder to reach this goal for our students, our department
