Investigation of the applicability of an e-portfolio tool to support final year engineering projects.

Yes / This project investigated the extent to which
e-portfolio tools can be applied to final year
engineering projects with a view to supporting the
experience from the perspective of supervisor and
student respectively. E-portfolio tools allow students to
generate, store and share evidence, minute meetings
and record reflections as well as helping them to
develop generic professional engineering skills. The
research methodology combined qualitative and
quantitative techniques. Semi-structured face-to-face
interviews with eight supervisors and online
questionnaires completed by 13 supervisors and 31
students provided the basis for the research. Training
on the university's e-portfolio tool was provided for
19 members of staff, while a seminar introducing the
project to the final year cohort was attended by 33
students. To conclude, an e-portfolio application was
made available to students. / Royal Academy of Engineering
