Confidence in various course learning outcomes was measured through a mixedmethods design that consisted of surveys with open responses and five-point Likert scalequestions. Participants’ responses to surveys addressed the hypothesis by providing quantitativeand qualitative data regarding confidence in course content during a semester of ungrading.This ungraded course incorporated self-evaluation and peer evaluation for members in the samedesign team, which grounds the study methodology

The unit is roughly a20-hour scaffolded module in which high school students design a stereolithographic 3D printerfor additive manufacturing. Our approach ensures all students can succeed by focusing ondesigning to meet specific requirements, not to win a competition.
