摘要：Design is one of twelve graduate attributes that needs to be assessed as part of the accreditation process for engineering programs in Canada, as required by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB). However, assessment of design competence is a complex task due to the fact design process is non-linear and depends on many factors including communication skills, teamwork skills, individual knowledge and skills, and project complexity. This study aims to capture undergraduate students’ design and teamwork skills and the challenges they face in their design projects. To this end, a low-cost assessment tool which can be implemented and analyzed relatively fast is presented. The tool is a new survey which assesses students’ selfreported intentions and skills for four key dimensions of team-based engineering design: (a) design process, (b) design communication, (c) teamwork, (d) regulation of teamwork. The survey was administered to the first year students enrolled in “Design and Communication I” after completion of a final design project. In this paper, the survey development and key findings from the collected data are discussed in detail.
