The use ofautomated essay scoring techniques have been widely developed and discussed across multiplesubject areas [9].

modalities.Synchronous interviews are typically scheduled interactions with participants that occur in real-time meetings that held face-to-face [15], by telephone [16], or virtually through audio/video[17] or messenger software [18]. In contrast, asynchronous research interviews are not affectedby scheduling limits as participants can complete the interviews in their own time, for example,via email [19] or audio/video recordings [20]. Many studies in EER that use interviewing fordata collection employ synchronous modalities, primarily via in-person or virtually.

These assignmentsencompass elements of technical writing with a clear purpose, an audience in mind, logicallyutilized format and

ability.In the second year of the program (2018), the project team introduced a second measure, theRevised Minnesota Paper Form Board Test (RMPFBT) [12]. First published in the 1930’s, thetest measures an individual's ability to manipulate two-dimensional objects in their mind and isoften used to assess spatial visualization skills in engineering students. Unlike the PSVT:R, theRMPFBT has two equivalent forms, which should reduce practice effects. In 2018 and 2021,form AA was given as the pre-test, and BB was given as the post-test. In 2019 and 2022, theforms were reversed (BB as the pre-test).
