Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 1:
The problem is analysed and defined and the criteria are identified for an acceptable solution.
Relevant information and engineering knowledge and skills are identified for solving the problem.
Possible approaches are generated and formulated that would lead to a workable solution for the problem.
Possible solutions are modelled and analysed.
Possible solutions are evaluated and the best solution is selected.
The solution is formulated and presented in an appropriate form.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 2:
The design problem is formulated to satisfy user needs, applicable standards, codes of practice and legislation.
The design process is planned and managed to focus on important issues and recognises and deals with constraints.
Knowledge, information and resources are acquired and evaluated in order to apply appropriate principles and design tools to provide a workable solution.
Design tasks are performed including analysis, quantitative modelling and optimisation of the product, system or process subject to the relevant premises, assumptions, constraints and restrictions.
Alternatives are evaluated for implementation and a preferred solution is selected based on techno-economic analysis and judgment.
The selected design is assessed in terms of the social, economic, legal, health, safety, and environmental impact and benefits.
The design logic and relevant information is communicated in a technical report.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3:
Investigations and experiments are planned and conducted within an appropriate discipline.
Available literature is searched and material is critically evaluated for suitability to the investigation.
Analysis is performed as necessary to the investigation.
Equipment or software is selected and used appropriately in the investigations.
Information is analysed, interpreted and derived from available data.
Conclusions are drawn from an analysis of all available evidence.
The purpose, process and outcomes of the investigation are recorded in a technical report.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 4:
The method, skill or tool is assessed for applicability and limitations against the required result.
The method, skill or tool is applied correctly to achieve the required result.
Results produced by the method, skill or tool are tested and assessed against required results.
Computer applications are created, selected and used as required by the discipline.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 5:
An appropriate mix of knowledge of mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, natural science and engineering science is brought to bear on the solution of a complex engineering problem.
Theories, principles and laws of mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, natural science and engineering science are used appropriately to define the problem and are communicated.
Formal analysis and modelling is performed on engineering materials, components, systems or processes.
Reasoning about and conceptualising engineering materials, components, systems or processes is performed.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 6:
The structure, style and language of written and oral communication are appropriate for the purpose of the communication and the target audience.
Graphics are used appropriately and effectively in enhancing the meaning of text.
Visual materials are used to enhance oral communications.
Accepted methods are applied for providing information to others involved in the engineering activity.
Oral communication is delivered fluently with an apparent intended meaning.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 7:
The impact of technology is identified and dealt with in terms of the benefits and limitations to society.
The engineering activity is analysed in terms of the impact on occupational and public health and safety.
The engineering activity is analysed in terms of the impact on the physical environment.
Personal, social, economic, cultural values and requirements of those who are affected by the engineering activity are taken into consideration.

Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 8:
The principles of planning, organising, leading and controlling are explained.
Individual work is carried out effectively, strategically and on time.
Contributions to team activities, including at disciplinary boundaries are made to support the output of the team as a whole.
Functioning as a team leader is demonstrated.

Integrated Assessment:
The Capstone Project with comprehensively detailed Associated Assessment Criteria will provide the opportunity for comprehensive integrative assessment covering the complete spectrum of the learning achieved.

Both formative and summative assessment processes throughout the duration of Capstone Project will provide an opportunity for the learners to validate that they are able to integrate concepts, ideas and actions across the qualification to achieve the required competence in order to meet the purpose of the qualification. The assessment tools will critically evaluate the learner’s knowledge, critical thinking, and evaluation prowess as well as communication and presentation skills.

Formative Assessment will entail the following:
Individual and collaborative group tutorials with memoranda and direct lecturer and/or tutor formative feedback.
Individual and collaborative Assignments/ Projects with direct discussions providing formative feedback.
Class tests with direct formative feedback via memoranda and discussions.
Computer based simulations.
Computer based interactive feedback using clicker based systems/Moodle.

Summative Assessment will entail the following:
Closed and/or open book tests including scoring and feedback.
Individual projects and assignments including feedback via assessment rubrics and scoring.
Group projects and assignments including scoring and feedback via assessment rubrics.
Individual presentations including feedback via assessment rubrics, lecturer and peer scoring.
Closed or open book examinations.
