Teaching design in engineering is a complex but challenging task requiring the development of numerous attributes by the students. Furthermore, with the increasing diversity of subjects taught in civil engineering less time is available for addressing individual subjects, let alone individual attributes. There is also the tension caused by the need to impart a deeper long-term training for engineering problem solvers while maintaining the short-term training of the essential but straightforward prescriptive design tools and skills. It is shown that it is still possible to develop design courses that train and, more importantly, assess a student's problem solving abilities by implementing assessment schemes that acknowledge and reward higher level learning while still maintaining an element that ensures the basic skills have been mastered
