Abstract
The Capstone Design Course instructional team was selected to participate in the digital learning initiative at the University of Alberta. The goals of this initiative are to increase student engagement and promote flexible, independent learning. The objectives of the instructional team were to enhance the interactions between instructors and student design teams in the face of increasing enrolment and to align the course strategically with attributes expected for graduating engineers set out by the University and elaborated in the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) Guidelines. Existing course materials were redeveloped to an asynchronous online format for individual student engagement and related activities were completed in class. Course delivery effectiveness is being evaluated by comparison with previous cohorts, improvements in post course student self-assessment, student engagement and satisfaction, and will include post course interview and survey data. This preliminary report focuses on elements of course design and preliminary findings.
