Abstrakt: Alongside innovation in teaching practice, student assessment in chemical engineering has seen significant changes in the recent past. This article undertakes a systematic review of the recent advances that have been reported in assessment practice in chemical engineering education. The main trends that emerge are: a shift towards authentic assessment methods, an increase in emphasis on peer-assessment and other approaches for group-based assignments, and a greater use of digital tools for the delivery of authentic assessments and improvement of marking and feedback practice. The analysis also examines the diversity of assessment methods used across the different chemical engineering subjects and how these map against assessment frameworks reported in the wider pedagogical literature. The emerging strand of research on synoptic and interdisciplinary assessment is used to develop an assessment framework for producing chemical engineering graduates who are also socially responsible and competent global citizens. • Diverse authentic assessment methods reported in chemical engineering education. • Design, modeling and simulation have the greatest use of authentic assessment. • Increased digitalization for assessment authenticity, feedback and peer-assessment. • Synoptic and interdisciplinary assessments constitute more recent developments.
