Fulfilling stakeholders’ demand, educators design the curriculum for engineering programs with the objectives of producing graduates capable in not only technical competence but also possess the equally important soft skills. This calls for a good variety of assessment techniques of student learning in order to ensure a more comprehensive measurement of performance. With the limitations of the traditional pen and paper assessment approach, the electronic learning portfolio is one alternative that is integrated in the assessment of Differential Equations course in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia. Two hundred and forty two engineering undergraduates are involved in the study and are randomly grouped into fifty one teams to develop team-based electronic Differential Equations Learning Portfolio, acronym e-DELP. In the process of developing the portfolio electronically, each team strategizes collectively in conformance to the criteria explicitly transcribed on the course e-learning portal. Objectively, e-DELP development creates a platform that provides participants the opportunity to exercise their soft skills while exploring the applications of Differential Equations in the real world an
