Cohort 1 was primarily composed of Academic Professional Track (APT) Facultywhose primary role in the department was teaching. Of these, a majority of proposals were in themechanics and materials areas but not many in the thermal sciences and dynamics and controlsareas. A conscious effort was made in year 2 to recruit faculty in these areas; thus cohort 2consisted of about 7-8 Tenure track faculty in areas related to thermal sciences and mechanics.They were paired with APT faculty so that there was a mix of different faculty in each team

an opportunity for research that can guideimplementation of ungrading and thus enable other scholarship.With the above context in mind, this evidence-based practice paper asks: 1) how do educatorsimplement ungrading in engineering courses? 2) what do educators vary in order to adaptungrading to their unique educational contexts? 3) how can we characterize the pedagogicaldesign space of radical or non-traditional grading schemes? We ask these questions as we do inorder to situate our work as a research through design effort, specifically the approach advocatedby Gaver (2012) in which a set of design solutions are interrogated to determine their invariancesas well as the dimensions of variation. In framing our effort as research through design
