As a result, educators are exploring theintegration of gamification principles into classrooms [3–5]. Particularly in engineering courses,abstract concepts often pose challenges for students’ understanding. Gamification offers anapproach to turning traditional, passive learning styles into more interactive and dynamic learningexperiences [6–8]. Gamification reduces the personal

This results in hostile educational environments[7], [8], [9], [10] and disproportionate attrition [11], [12], [13] which maintains inequity,intensifies structural underrepresentation, and threatens national priorities [4], [14].Engineering faculty play a central role in defining and

Engineering Education, 2025Mastery-Based Learning Inspires Persistence and Growth Through Failure1. IntroductionFailure tolerance is a necessary skill for professionals in fields demanding innovation. The ability topersist through and learn from failure has been identified as a key outcome of an entrepreneurialmindset (EM) [1]. In response, there has been significant interest in designing course structures thatfacilitate productive failure, particularly within entrepreneurship education, the KEEN network, andbroader engineering education. One promising approach could be mastery-based learning (MBL), whichmay promote EM by normalizing failure and encouraging students to learn from their past mistakes [2,3, 4].

However, this didnot translate into lower performance of the group on that problem, possibly due to the team-based natureof the course. 1 Introduction“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them” [1].

example, numericalintegration is used to estimate velocity and displacement from accelerometer data, which iscrucial in fields like automotive crash testing. In crash testing, accelerometers captureacceleration during an impact. By integrating this data, engineers can calculate velocity anddisplacement to assess vehicle deformation and passenger movement, informing the design ofairbags, seatbelts, and crumple zones. Additionally, numerical differentiation allows for thecalculation of higher-order derivatives, including jerk, snap, crackle, pop, and lock (first to fifthderivatives of acceleration) [1]. Among these, jerk—the rate of change of acceleration—isparticularly important in crash safety. High jerk values indicate sudden changes in force
