differences among the various majorshave also been posited. These techniques are a response to the rise of interdisciplinary designcourses coupled with a more distracted generation with a shorter attention span. As the methodshave been proven successful at the K-12 level, with proper implementation, there is a highprobability of success of the modified techniques presented. The re-interpretations arenecessarily diluted but have shown promise anecdotally through the author's experience. Werecommend further study using both qualitative and quantitative assessments to validate initialobservations of the implementation of these techniques.References[1] A. Van den Beemt, M. MacLeod, J.

basic engineering-related work is very different thaninstructing typical engineering students. Non-engineering students do not necessarily have afundamental scientific background and thus may find the material challenging. Literature reviewshows there exist previous attempts to teach non-engineers to embrace and understand engineeringconcepts (Butler & Wilson, 2010). Butler and Wilson’s work discusses techniques such as high-impact learning, course material structuring and alignment, etc. Shortly after that, (Hendrix et al.,2012) 12) performed a continuation of work done by Butler & Wilson, however, with a differentfocus. The goal of Hendrix et al.'s work is to address the issue of how to motivate non-engineeringstudents to care about

This study advocates for a more comprehensive understanding of the implications ofcorrelation choices on student assessments, emphasizing the need for adaptive assessmentframeworks that accommodate the inherent variability in valid solutions.References [1] C.

What follows is a largely oral history gathered and consoli-dated from UGA engineering faculty members, all of whom wish to remain anonymous.By the late 1800’s, the state of Georgia had two engineering colleges, UGA and the Georgia In-stitute of Technology (hereafter known as Georgia Tech). UGA graduated its first engineeringstudents in 1868. However, during the Depression in the 1930’s, the state determined it could notafford to fund two engineering colleges and decided to focus the engineering program at

that teams affected with either situation were provided appropriate accommodations.o Prototyping v/s mass production: It was observed that students struggled with differentiating between a manufacturing plan for a functional prototype versus a manufacturing plan for mass production. This might have been because students’ knowledge of manufacturing processes grows during their time in ManP and they may be developing manufacturing plans without a full understanding of manufacturing.6.

T3’s improvement is nonetheless, relatively lower because a lot of students realized theypassed the course by the first attempt of T3, or got the grade they sought and were satisfied thatthey did not continue to improve their grade anymore. Also, some students worked
