Design is an integral part of the engineering profession and consequently, is a mandatory component of all engineering programs. Doubtless, new engineers need design skills in order to integrate the innovation task force of a company. Nevertheless, teamwork, which is an important component of the design competency, is also an obstacle to its development. Indeed, when working as a team, students have the tendency to specialize in certain tasks instead of taking profit from the experience to diversify their skills. The paper introduces an approach to assess the Design Competency Profile (DCP) of a team and its members. The main components of the approach are the design competency frame of reference (design skills chart), the rubrics used to assess the deliverables, the tables of individual contributions, the team profile and the individual’s profile. The individual DCP provides an overview of the competency of each team member and contributes to circumvent the side effects of teamwork. It can also help the students to understand the scope of the design competency and to develop the ability to identify and to address their own educational needs. Finally, in a program perspective, the DCP can help to manage the competency development in a global way.
