Abstract:

The wide introduction of project training in educational programs requires a serious approach to assessing the results of students when summarizing design results. The implementation of projects on the orders of enterprises has not yet become widespread due to a number of reasons, including the lack of experience among students, the very limited framework for the implementation of projects, strict standards for the preparation of technical documents, the scale of projects, and, therefore, the need to integrate various smaller projects into a single and much more.

Thus, for junior students, the only way out is to study projects and, as a result, the problem of assessing them when summarizing the design results.
When creating tasks for educational projects, the teacher has the opportunity not to tie their deadlines to a specific enterprise and their production schedule, not all students perform educational tasks on time, the possibility of varying the initial data for design and the opportunity to consider alternatives associated with the lack of "overpowering" students when they make a design solution to the task.

Thus, problems arise when evaluating the final design result. Within the framework of design, a goal must be achieved that allows students to obtain certain professional, special, and general competencies such as «ability to work in a collective, tolerating social, ethnic, confessional and cultural differences», «ability to self-organization and self-education» and others to be assessed within the framework of the interim control.

The use of expert methods makes it possible to carry out such an assessment most objectively and fully as part of the intermediate certification of students' project activities, and the involvement of group students as experts allows to increase both the motivation and interest of students themselves in the performance of design work and their evaluation by other participants. The use of KPI assessment methods allows you to form an important competence for the future manager as «ability to plan and organize project activities».
