Mentor’s and Coordinator’s Design Report Evaluation Form
Project#______Project Name ______Evaluator______

Introduction: This evaluation tool is focused primarily on the design as documented in the technical report and supporting documentation. No distinction is made among team members. Thank you for taking time to provide this feedback!

Attribute Being Evaluated: / Please enter a grade for each attribute:
Quality & Quantity of Work: Consider the accuracy, thoroughness, and overall quality of the design report. Did it provide a thorough overview of the design project, was the volume and effort reflective of the size of the design team and the time allotted? /

Development of design objectives and performance specifications: Did the design report clearly present project objectives and performance specifications against which the design was to be certified (i.e., how the team MET the objectives, as well as an ability to recognize how they did NOT meet the objectives, and how shortfalls might be addressed)? /

Application of engineering principles appropriate to each discipline: Did the design report demonstrate that appropriate tools from each applicable discipline were used in the solution of the design project? For example; EE: as-built schematics, documented software code, software flowcharts, decision criteria, bill of material; ISE: e.g., dimensioned layouts, PERT & Gannt charts for project/process management, process flow analysis, economic analyses, ergonomic/health/safety analyses, mathematical/ simulation modeling; ME: Engineering Analysis - stress analysis, material selection, GD&T, CAD, FEA, DFM. Would a professional in the field be able to reproduce their work based on the information presented in the paper? /
