programming concepts. Analysis of survey data and sample interactions couldshow differences in the usefulness of a custom bot with other student populations and other typesof course assignments. Additionally, a future study could deploy an improved chatbot with morefeatures, such as conversational responses or contextual search over different types of documents,such as the project starter files or test case source code. This could make the responses moretargeted and helpful for questions specifically about explaining code or test cases, furtheraugmenting the student experience.References [1] OpenAI, “ChatGPT-3: Conversational AI using GPT-3.5.” https://www.openai.com/, 2022.

exercises content was created by one of the instructors and underwent testing by studentsduring the Fall semesters of 2022 and 2023. The number of students in the FA22 and FA23 were10 (5 groups) and 6 (3 groups), respectively. They are juniors and seniors. These are consideredpilots to test the platform and the ability of the students to navigate the platform components andlab instructions.Unfortunately the number of the groups is too small to provide viable sample size for meaningfulstatistical analysis. Therefore, we opted to survey them for qualitative assessment. Our major intentwith this paper is to share with other educators the benefit of our experimentation in introducingWPA3 into the IT undergraduate curriculum. There are three key

Further work shows that there is improved SBG value withstructured reflection [11]. As a result of this work, we have incorporated notebooks as areflective practice. A portion of the notebook criteria helps scaffold work on the “analysis”,“interpretation”, and “communication” standards. When done well, these notebooks are aninherently reflective practice on the students’ own learning, understanding, and decision-makingprocess [12].

Students learn better when they have an active participation in their educationand curriculum. This is why the students in the University of North Dakota’s undergraduatebiomedical engineering program include the students in the evaluation of their ABET studentoutcomes. This study employs the involvement of two senior undergraduate students who haveexperienced several IBL courses since the Fall of 2022, all of which used the MOOCIBLplatform and its blockchain-based tokens. The students were tasked with assigning their previousyears tokens to ABET student outcomes at the start of the Fall 2023 semester

responsibilities due to the traditional university system that more explicitly rewardsresearch outputs over teaching. Research outputs can be quantified by the number ofpublications, the amount of research grants, and other traditional indicators of researchproductivity and impact. However, engineering faculty members face challenges in justifying theproductivity and impact of their teaching innovations. These systems recognize engineeringfaculty’s research achievements more clearly than teaching innovations. Extensive literature onengineering education reform has documented this emphasis on research over teaching(Borrego & Henderson, 2014; Felder et al., 2011; Finelli et al., 2014; Mallouk et al., 2022).Overall, the literature review provides our
