Instructors often use illustrations,small demonstrations, or videos to illustrate different failure modes and emphasize fundamentalbehavior. However, students rarely have the opportunity to experience full-scale behaviorfirsthand. Testing large scale members requires specialized equipment, and many engineeringprograms do not have access to the necessary facilities or resources to incorporate full-scaletesting into the undergraduate classroom.

Ourapproach is that students should be probed to complete the work without feeling that they arepenalized for materials they are just learning. Formative assignments allow space for learningfrom mistakes and improving through the continuous provision of feedback by the instructors.Summative assessment occurs through weekly homework assignments, exams, and the finalsubmission of the team project. In the spirit of the PL platform design, emphasis is given onmastery rather than penalization.

Studentswere then asked what changes could be made to the game (and, by extension, to the Cap-and-Trade Policy) to encourage equity.The senior Capstone class experienced a broader inclusion of social justice in their classcurriculum.
