The interviews wereconducted by a research associate not associated with the teaching of the class in order toprotect student confidentiality and minimize any risk of coercion. In our broad analysis,we have been focusing on how the students frame the experienced or potential learningbenefits of the assignment, the nature of the activity that would lead to the benefits andthe conditions under which such benefits did and/or could occur.This paper takes a case study approach and focuses on how three students (Paul, Nancy,and Dan) made sense of the portfolio assignment.

Thus, engineering educators mustunderstand concepts of educational outcomes and aim their reform efforts at achieving theseoutcomes. Few engineering educators have addressed the issue of measurable engineeringoutcomes. Montgomery and Fogler (1996) review instructional software with respect to itsability to teach desired engineering competencies—such as presentation of information,assessment of knowledge, exploration of topics, and analysis of concepts. Competencies havebeen used as the basis for structuring learning activities for development of engineering designoutcomes in the first two years of engineering curricula (Crain et al., 1995
