Assessing Learning Outcomes in Engineering Education: An e-Learning based approach

This research project addresses the assessment of Learning Outcomes using e-learning, in different levels of Engineering Education. Accrediting e-learning as an assessment tool that can be applied independently of the learning pathways may contribute to the achievement of recognition of prior learning and mobility of students. This paper will provide a comparative analysis of the LOs integrated in different frameworks, including the European Qualification Framework (EQF), ABET and EURACE, using the revised taxonomy of Bloom. It is intended by this analysis to identify crucial LOs in Engineering Education and mapping them into a general qualification framework like EQF. This analysis will also focus on proposed assessment strategies of the identified LOs, as found in literature and will constitute the initial ground to establish a model that aligns LO in Engineering Education with assessment strategies based on e-learning.
