Title: How to conduct oral exams as a more equitable and inclusive alternative format for knowledgeassessmentDuring the 2020 pandemic, remote classes became the standard for engineering and technology coursesacross the country. Oral exams have been frequently deployed as a means to ensure academic honesty.This presentation explores, analyzes, and discusses multiple factors that makes oral exam a moreequitable and inclusive alternative format for knowledge assessment. The focus is on the loosely-structured, dialogue-type oral exams evaluated by the course instructor.Oral exams are known to help improve students’ oral communication skills and performance underpressure, but it is also known to be very time consuming and subjective.

The projects range from mechanicalmedical device projects to electrical projects to mobile app design.

As outlined by ABET (Accrediting Board for Engineeringand Technology) in General Criterion 5: Curriculum, students should have “a culminating majorengineering design experience that 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standards andmultiple constraints, and 2) is based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work”(ABET, 2021). Capstone Projects have many advantages, but they can get off track for a varietyof reasons. This can fuel disparate results, both technically and in terms of students
