1. Using a Project Model for Assessment of CDIO skills Tomas Svensson, Svante Gunnarsson Linköping University Sweden June 8 2005

2. CDIO SKILLS  CDIO skills - Personal, interpersonal, and product and system building skills. 2.X Personal and professional skills and attributes 3.X Interpersonal skills: Teamwork and communication 4.X Conceiving, designing, implementing and operating systems in the enterprise and societal context.  How do we assess the CDIO skills?

3. PROJECT MODEL Three main reasons for using a project model in engineering education:  Tool for execution of projects  Project work under industry like conditions  A tool for assessment of various CDIO skills

5. THE BEFORE PHASE

6. ASSESSMENT IN THE BEFORE PHASE Results:  4.3.1 Setting system goals and requirements  4.3.2 Defining function, concepts and architecture  4.3.3 Development project management  4.4.2 The design process phasing and requirements Process:  3.1.1 Forming effective teams  3.1.2 Team operation  3.1.3 Leadership  3.1.5 Technical teaming  3.2.3 Written communication Assessment tools:  Requirement specification  Project and time plan  System drawing  Time and status reports

7. DURING PHASE

8. ASSESSMENT IN THE DURING PHASE Results:  4.4.1 The design process  4.4.2 The design process phasing approaches  4.4.3 Utilization of knowledge in design  4.5.1 Designing the implementation process  4.5.3-4.5.4 Implementation in hardware and software.  4.5.5. Test, verification and validation Process:  3.1.2 Team operation  3.2.3 Written communication Assessment tools:  Design and test specification  Test protocol  Time and status reports  The technical result is checked against the requirement specification  Technical documentation

9. AFTER PHASE

10. ASSESSMENT IN THE AFTER PHASE Process:  3.1.2 Team operation  3.1.3 Team growth and evolution  3.2.4 Electronic/Multimedia communication  3.2.6 Oral presentation Assessment tools:  Time and status reports  Presentation  Project reflection

11. CONCLUSIONS  The project model provides a structure for assessment of CDIO skills.  The model enables continuous assessment.  The model and assessment can be used at different levels of complexity.
