Those factors are arguably more critical now thanpreviously because today’s engineers are often expected to make significant design decisionsbefore any product testing can be done.

At that time, ABET began to specify a “culminating design experience” for allaccredited engineering curricula.For many schools, the shift of accreditation criteria to assessment and evaluation processes hasimpacted senior design courses. Student outcomes are often assessed in the senior designcourse(s). Integration of student outcome assessment in design course(s) has met with varyingdegrees of success.Senior design has presented an opportunity to increase interaction with external constituents thathave an interest in projects and in hiring graduates.

The lack of utilization of digital technology and appropriatemethodologies supporting the automation of outcomes assessment further exacerbate thissituation. Furthermore, learning outcomes data measured by most institutions is rarely classifiedinto all three domains of the revised Bloom’s taxonomy and their corresponding categories of thelevels of learning. Generally institutions classify courses of a program curriculum into three levels:introductory, reinforced and mastery. The outcomes assessment data is measured for mastery levelcourses in order to streamline the documentation and effort needed for an effective programevaluation. A major
