The five performance criteria developed for this outcome, are based on1. Ability to define the problem This performance criterion is assessed by determining if students are able to (i) identify the customer and the needs, (ii) identify and list the design objectives, and (iii) identify the design constraints.2. Ability to plan the project This performance criterion is also assessed by determining if students are able to (i) define the design strategy and methodology, (ii) identify and break down work into tasks and subtasks, and identify the personnel and deliverables for each, (iii) develop a

Very fewobservations have been reported, for example, on the actual work performed by engineers,technical managers, planners, technologists and technicians. Certain processes in engineeringpractice such as design and project management have been extensively studied, yet many otheraspects such as maintenance have hardly received any attention at all.

However, there is still a call for more practice-based experiencesthroughout the curriculum [4]. Instead of focusing on packing more into engineering curriculum,we explore the idea of leveraging the many design experiences students are already engaging inby advocating for the development of a “bridging language”.Students are already engaging in a breadth of design experiences throughout their lifetime.Engineering students engage in a number of formal design education experiences - such ascornerstone and capstone classes or design electives - throughout
