Surveys of capstone instructors 1-3 show that instructors teach a wide range ofsubjects, including oral communications, teamwork, project planning, and ethics, among manyother aspects of engineering design. Moreover, the Engineering Profile 4, developed using datafrom both industry practitioners and design faculty, highlights the importance of bothprofessional and technical skills, describing engineering roles

Almost immediately, this curriculumevolved to incorporate off-campus project opportunities, with the first off-campus Project Centerestablished in 1974.

Over the next several years asthe institution wrestled with the proper assessment of these seven outcomes two concerns arose.First, the academic arm of the institution did not create, or maintain an integrated assessmentplan with centralized control and avenues for full-circle feedback. Second, no position at theinstitution was wholly responsible for creation and coordination of assessment efforts.The assessment issues identified above led to the creation of a Director of Academic Assessmentposition in the summer 2000 and eventually to the development of a 10-year plan titled “Plan toAssess the
