The trend in the automobile industry is of increasing integration ofsoftware with digital and mechanical systems. Areas of impact range from vehicle power plantcontrol to that of integrated entertainment systems complete with Internet access. The sheer bulkof code integrated in a typical vehicle is pushing the engineering of software systems out of theproprietary realm and into software engineering mainstream where the automotive industry mustadapt best practices for control of software system reliability and complexity.

To measure classroomperformance in a “non-graded” way, the “seriousness of purpose” measure was conceptualized.The measure is intended to evaluate the student’s ability to apply what he or she has learned inan open-ended and practical way. In engineering and ET fields, the senior capstone course iswhere theory and practice collide, so assessing students on their capstone performance is alogical way to measure classroom performance.
