communication through visual information sharing,the rise of manipulated images, data, and videos in social and creative spaces highlights the needfor engineers to master both the ethical generation and interpretation of multivariate visualinformation. Furthermore, failures in visual, statistical, and graphical thinking can result indistorted data, flawed scientific conclusions, and poor engineering decisions [16]. Moreover, ourreliance on digital technology risks oversimplifying complex realities, further hindering thedevelopment of visual thinking skills. Therefore, it is essential for engineering students tounderstand not only the processes of visual perception and thinking but also how engineeredsystems can be used to distort causal relationships

When an assessment is linked to multiple learning outcomes, it is more difficultto isolate and assess students’ mastery of individual learning outcomes. More significantly,students will struggle to see how assessment activities align with learning outcomes.
