Outcome based education performance evaluation of capstone project using assessment rubrics and matrix

This article describes the use of software tools and didactic equipment of electrical machines applied to the teaching in electrical engineering, specifically in the realization of an application work consisting of the characterization of the three‐phase induction motor. Several studies have explored the effectiveness of teaching activities, which encompass different learning tools in the same work, from the use of didactic materials to the use of professional computer tools. The objective is the simultaneous use of didactic equipment and the calculation methodologies through specific software of industrial applications in engineering studies. In addition, to observe whether performing application work that implementing different techniques at the same time fosters the critical spirit among students. The activities students must do in the application work proposed in the subject of rotating electrical machines is to determine all the constructive variables of an induction motor, draw it, simulate its electromagnetic behavior by finite element method with a freeware available 2D program, test the motor in the laboratory following the guidelines of the current standards and, finally, compare the results obtained from the tests and the simulation, by making a critique of the results and the calculation methodology used. The application work presented in the article has been implemented during several courses in the subject of electrical machines for electrical engineering students, with satisfactory results.

“…The challenging nature of senior projects has inspired many to document this experience as in [2][3][4][5][6]. Most of the characteristics of Senior Projects are covered in [7], in which all possible varieties are listed, such as different assessment methods, objectives of adding a senior project in the academic program plan, and defined deliverables.…”

“…Quality is a key concern in higher-education institutes and some authors have reported the effect of quality assurance systemsaka accreditation systemson the design of senior projects. In [2], the authors reported the design of their SPMS after their shift to outcome-based learning as fulfilment of a requirement of the accreditation systems. Moreover, authors in [3] described a SPMS that supports students in demonstrating their ability to develop projects that have sound designs with respect to their scale and quality.…”

“…Rubrics are used to provide a unified way of assessment of projects. The rubrics used for the Software Specification Phase are described in [2]. One of the major concerns of assessment in projects is giving fair grades to individual students working within a team on a project, more specifically preventing rewarding free riders who are part of the team but do not contribute to the project.…”

The senior project stage in bachelor's degrees represents an essential milestone in the learning process of a Computer Science (CS) student. The Senior Project Management System (SPMS) plays an important role in refining the quality of the resulting product and improving the learning experience of students. The CS department at King Abdulaziz University (KAU) has followed a well-defined system for managing senior projects since 2012. Systems evolve through time in response to encounters that unfold when the system is put to use. The administration of CS senior projects is no exception. In this paper, we present some incremental changes that have been introduced as refinements to the original system. This paper focuses on analyzing the data of the projects conducted during 2015 and 2016 in the Computer Science Department, Girls Main Campus (GMC) branch from the following perspectives: the project plan and deliverables at each milestone, and the provision of constructive mature collective feedback by the evaluating committee. These refinements are called addendums as they are additional steps to the SPMS and each step is monitored by using forms. This paper also describes some practices that support the SPMS along with the rationale behind their application. Evidence for the two addendums have been collected from analysis of the relevant forms. The analysis showed that the students benefited from the flexibility introduced by the milestone addendum as they made use of the new options. In addition, analysis of the forms of the feedback addendum showed that this documentation served as a means to gather the overall collective opinion of the committee members as opposed to the individual assessment of each member. Additional evidence was collected from evaluation committee members, by conducting a questionnaire. It showed that participants do benefit from the discussion promoted by the feedback addendum.
