Designing a Rubric to Assess the Problem Definition Phase of Student Design Projects in Upper Year Engineering Courses Thomas F. C. Woodhall, B.Sc., B.A., M.Sc. (Candidate) Queen’s University at Kingston Ontario CanadaAbstractIn order to bridge the gap between a student’s understanding and instructor’s perception ofsubject mastery, it is important to assess upper year capstone design projects in a way whichtargets the important aspects within each stage of the design process, while providing feedbackthat is instructive and helpful. A rubric was created that assesses a student’s mastery of theproblem definition phase of a design project (as defined by Dominick et al. 2001). The
