Search engine for engineering education assessment instruments

Adoption research has guided the development of a classification and rating system for assessment instruments valuable to the engineering education community. The ASSESS website enables users to search for instruments that measure outcomes of interest and that possess desired characteristics. The website classifies instruments by outcomes assessed, technical features, instrument format, and administration parameters. Instrument descriptions and ratings are displayed in forms useful to both experienced and inexperienced users seeking instruments for specific needs. The user community contributes to ASSESS by rating instruments and suggesting others for development or inclusion. ASSESS developers invite user input to make ASSESS highly valuable to the engineering education community.
