摘要：Introduction of computers into engineering curriculum dates back to late 19 th century and the results of the attempt are now being seen in all over the world, particularly, in engineering field of study. Researchers and academicians, thereafter, continue to use a number of computer aided tools to represent their findings and research outcomes. In this attempt, computing technologies are put into effective use to design student assessment papers and their evaluation tools for a particular module which is design based. In this way, customized and individual assessment paper is generated using a unique set of design data pertaining to the problem and corresponding solution scheme and relevant details of the output data along with respective design drawings are produced. This will definitely help teachers and faculty members in an engineering discipline to design high quality assessment papers in technical education and expose students to resort to modern methods of computing tools to perform engineering tasks. Software interface and package are developed using Microsoft Excel. software effectively to display the input design conditions and parameters related to a particular student. Eventually, evaluation phase is designed that encompasses design results and sketches to countercheck the results obtained manually by each individual student. The objective of this task is to expose students and academicians of this novel method of conducting assessment and utilise evaluation methods in their University in order to differentiate the gravity of assessment paper for each individual student. Presently, this approach is designed for a module entitled Mechanical Engineering Design and efforts will be directed in future to extend it to other modules as applicable. One of the significant benefits of this modern pedagogical approach applied with innovative technology is enhancement of core competencies of teachers and researchers that nurtures assessment environment. Other perceived outcomes of this approach include uniqueness in student assessment paper, reduced evaluating time, accurate marking of student papers and quick feedback to students to improve their performance. In all, better management of module through application of computing technologies would be the core advantage.
