Abstract :
The design and implementation of multidisciplinary capstone courses are treated as knowledge engineering activities, where IEEE STD 1471 and ISO/IEC 42010 help to address all stakeholders´ concerns on different subject domains, varying viewpoints, and robust architecture. Storyboarding and metrics capture are utilized to integrate different stakeholders and their interest. As a consequence, outcome assessment becomes an integral part of knowledge engineering activities in a capstone course design.
