Abstract

Electronic portfolios (eportfolios) are proposed as an ideal mechanism to enhance experiential learning in undergraduate internships. Eportfolios can enhance instructors' ability to assess student learning outcomes and the ability of industrial mentors to supervise and direct interns. Further, eportfolios, through student reflection and direct assessment of activities, can help programs meet the challenges of program accreditation. In particular, we show the use of an assessment model for difficult-to-assess ABET outcomes.
