Judges responded to an online survey on the Engineering Design Process Portfolio Scoring Rubric (EDPPSR) following each competition. From close examination of survey responses and analysis of judges’ independently assigned scores for various elements (or score categories) under which e-portfolio contents were organized, the author determines that a complex rubric can be used to evaluate competition entries both efficiently and with moderate consistency—even without more than cursory training—by those lacking familiarity with that scoring tool from an instructional context. The author identifies rewards in using rubrics like the EDPPSR for more than teaching and testing and presents some considerations regarding rubrics—not only engineering design rubrics but those intended to evaluate other processes and products common to STEM disciplines.  \nKey words: rubrics, engineering design, portfolio assessment, scoring  \nBACKGROUND  \nToday, decades after the term “rubric” began to enter common parlance among educators, one might well ask,“What more is left to say about rubrics that has not already been said?” Articles, book chapters, and entire volumes have been written about rubrics—what they are, what types exist, how they are created, and how and why they should be used. Many of those involved in education were first introduced to rubrics in the 1970s and 80s as scoring tools to facilitate the direct  \nADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION  \nYou Be the Judge: When Competitions Employ an Engineering Design Rubric  \nassessment of writing (Yancy, 1999) . Over subsequent decades, the use of rubrics to inform evaluative judgments about student performance extended to virtually every content area, particularly as open-ended constructed response items and portfolios were added to the K-12 assessment toolkit. Ironically, the classroom use of rubrics to inform teaching and learning that was widely promoted in the 1990s and early 2000s grew, even as the use of these tools by high-stakes assessment programs diminished when the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 prompted nearly all states to reduce or eliminate direct assessment. Rubrics were—and continue to be—celebrated as a useful and effective means of making learning targets clear to students, while providing teachers with an efficient and objective means of conducting evaluations of student work. Their value to students and teachers of engineering design is evidenced by the many examples of rubrics addressing this aspect of engineering available online. One single site alone, [http://www. rcampus.com/indexrubric](http://www. rcampus.com/indexrubric). cfm, turns up hundreds under the key phrase “engineering design process”.  \nThe belief in the capacity of a rubric to provide a common language and set of expectations has recently informed a promising new practice—the shared use of an engineering design process rubric by students engaged in innovative projects and practicing professionals and college faculty who serve as judges of design and problem solving competitions. Over the past few years, an increasing number of competitions—state, regional, national and international—have turned to the Engineering Design Process Portfolio Scoring Rubric (EDPPSR) as both the framework for student projects and the criteria by which a diverse community of judges including academics and pr","cbCaicYElhR4ewMO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicYElhR4ewMO","pdf",380353,25,"English","# Abstract\n# Background\n# Advances in Engineering Education\n# The EDPPSR: Origins, Intended Uses, and New Opportunities for Use","[{\"question\":\"How does the article evaluate the Engineering Design Process Portfolio Scoring Rubric (EDPPSR)?\",\"answer\":\"Judges use the EDPPSR to score portfolio elements from three competitions, and the author analyzes survey responses and the judges’ independently assigned scores.\"},{\"question\":\"For which competitions and audience contexts is the rubric discussed?\",\"answer\":\"The rubric is applied to entries from regional, national, and global student competitions, with portfolios posted on the Innovation Portal for STEM education participants across instructional levels.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the findings suggest about using a complex rubric without extensive training?\",\"answer\":\"The author concludes that a complex rubric like the EDPPSR can support efficient evaluation and moderate consistency even for users unfamiliar with the scoring tool in an instructional setting.\"}]","You Be the Judge: When Competitions Employ an Engineering Design Rubric | PDF",1792065802,63]
