We are interested in the construct of smartness, which is a powerful,yet implicit, driver of students’ experience in engineering education. Smartness in engineeringculture can be linked to both the broad narratives and norms that overarch engineering at asocietal level (e.g., engineers are smart) as well as the more specific, individual beliefs thatindividual

However, the grading strategy inmost traditional BME courses revolves around assigning points to student work based onapparent quality or degree of completion. Awarding “partial credit” is time-consuming and oftenis not closely mapped to learning objectives [1]. As a result, students often focus on how manypoints they earned relative to their perceived level of effort
