problem illustrated above, MOM problems have been developed and tested for ourfluids experiments and other heat transfer experiments. Problem design is underway for theremaining experiments used in both Unit Operations laboratory courses.Additional work is in development for our integrated chemical and petroleum engineeringfreshman year project-based experimentation.Concluding RemarksBoth instructors plan to expand their use of MOM both in courses where MOM is currently usedand in courses where it has not been used. The use of MOM question databanks is still underdevelopment in multiple courses.Comparison to Canvas quizzes: MOM has all of the benefits of Canvas quizzes, but addsadditional useful features. Both platforms are flexible as to

students by minimizing the needto enroll in remedial or supplementary courses, freeing up time for them to pursue researchopportunities. Second, the advising model prioritized early communication about researchopportunities, ensuring that students were aware of the professional benefits of researchengagement early in their academic careers. The personalized guidance provided by facultyadvisors was instrumental in matching students with research projects aligned with their interestsand career aspirations, further promoting sustained engagement and academic satisfaction.While these findings clearly illustrate the implementation of this new active structured advisingmodel have improved mechanical engineering student initial math placement, four-year

assistant), professors may opt for assessments that are easier to grade, such as multiple-choice exams or assignments with clear-cut answers, instead of more time-consuming butpotentially more meaningful forms of evaluation, like essays or project-based assessments.My findings overall highlight a misalignment of priorities among faculty. This excessive focuson preventing dishonesty can overshadow efforts to address more impactful aspects of education,such as refining course content, developing innovative teaching strategies, and creating a moreenriching learning experience for students [33], [34].. Instead, faculty should also balance inemphasizing improving test design and preparation strategies, which can be more effective andbeneficial to
