Starting from this, new evaluation methods are being sought that better fit the wayof learning of each student, so our research will focus on finding a new form of evaluation basedon frequent unannounced evaluations to improve student learning. and contribute to academicintegrity. This new method was applied in civil engineering and architecture courses, along withactivities that develop student learning.Background/FrameworkAcademic integrity within the student environment is related to honesty, responsibility, andrespect, and implies that students must follow rules and regulations, demonstrating theircommitment to responsibility and ethics against frowned upon activities

Meanwhile, many of their students, through no personal fault, enter collegewithout the habits of mind or self-control expected of previous generations of collegeundergraduates. New educators may find students who struggle to adapt to the model of highereducation that produced the educators. Further, college graduates must self-direct their

average, students can work to understand their mistakes during the term instead of during the last week of the term after testing day. Also, an analysis of the class average design requires Statics skills but a competition-winning design requires a full consideration of the kinematics, best-case hole location, worst-case retraction angle and force, and accuracy of the laser cutter, amongst other concerns. The winning designs often have disturbingly small factors of safety, which might send a troubling message to students about engineering ethics. Simply put, the class average approach followed by Instructor C attempts to keep fundamental Statics skills at the center of the work. It also avoids the public

To nosurprise, there are a plethora of pitfalls an individual can make, with no recognition of theinstitutional hurdles that act as gatekeepers in perpetuating the current makeup of engineering as“pale and male” [62, p. 9]. As listed by industry and blogger articles, reasons that students dropout of engineering programs include: poor work ethic, inability to deal with failure, and lackingthe engineering mindset [63]. It is common talk among engineers that when trying to explain the dearth of women andPOC in engineering, meritocracy is used to justify by stating things such as “they aren’t cut outto be an engineer” or

argue and change their grades.While these features of traditional grading can be criticized for how they can impede studentlearning, we also want to balance the view that these features have their own reason in theeducation system. For example, summative grades are important for managing academicstandings, scholarships, and graduate school admission. One-off examinations are common inprofessional licensure processes (e.g., engineering ethics examination). The complexity behindgrading stems from the fact that grades are not just intended for student learning; they are alsoimportant for social and professional constructs [4].In response to the negative effects of traditional grading, ungrading has been advocated toremove grades entirely from the

. While studies vary in how theydefine “broader context,” they consistently emphasize that engineers should look beyondtechnical functionality to consider political, environmental, and cultural contexts that couldimpact or be impacted by a project. For example, Mazzurco and Daniel [23] analyzed 26engineering students and 16 engineering practitioners’ responses to a design task. They foundthat students and practitioners were both able to provide high-quality considerations related totechnology, but students struggled with considerations related to stakeholders and local norms,laws and ethics, and other socio-material contexts. A “culture of disengagement” in engineeringeducation may also lead students to view broader context as irrelevant to

Criterion 3 Student Outcome 5 [4]). Passow [5]surveyed ~2000 engineering graduates in 11 engineering fields at 2 years, 6 years, and 10 yearsafter graduation and asked them to rank the ABET competencies (a-k in 2012 [6]) in order ofimportance for engineering practice. Practicing engineers ranked teamwork, data analysis,problem solving, and communication skills as the most important competencies in theirprofessional experience. These skills were ranked significantly above the other ABETcompetencies surveyed (math, science, and engineering skills, experimental design, processdesign, ethics, impact, life-long learning, engineering tools, and contemporary issues). Morerecent studies similarly emphasize the importance of teamwork skills [7] as well as a
