- Description
- Abstract: A big challenge for all engineering universities is the high quality of their graduated students to match the professional engineering qualities that industry need. In South Africa, the Engineering council of South Africa (ECSA) always asked for proof of evidence that students have demonstrated their capabilities to pass all the knowledge areas in each one of their modules in their engineering degree curriculum. The department of electrical and electronic engineering science at the University of Johannesburg has introduced a new continuous assessment framework based on outcomes in the offered modules. This framework allows for a deeper assessment of knowledge. Advantages and disadvantages of this new assessment scheme are discussed in this paper as well as the solutions proposed to make it a flexible and successful for all students.
