]. Additionally, this strong interest inbiomaterials is reflected economically. In 2019, the global market for biomaterials was estimatedto be worth $106.5 billion, and revenues from biomaterials are projected to increase to $348.4billion by 2027 [5]. To ensure these societal and economic demands for novel biomaterials aremet, we must prioritize educating diverse students about designing, engineering, and testingbiomaterials [6], [7].One way to meet this goal is through K-12 outreach. Outreach is an important activity forincreasing the number of students studying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) at the university level [8], [9].

In the first years of anundergraduate engineering degree program, introductory classes often focus on textbookproblems, larger lectures, and individual written exams. The ability to produce specificnumerical results to written problems is therefore ADK. In later years, ADK increasingly shiftstowards teamwork, communication skills, research, and collection and analysis of data. Coursesbecome more project-based and assignments have longer timelines with more open-endedsolutions. For students this shift in ADK can be a source of frustration or anxiety, as theyexperience a misalignment between

typically done outside of the classroom anyway (homework, projects, classpreparation assignments, etc.), this concern is not specific to online courses. For exams andquizzes, one can potentially be even more confident in an online environment than in a F2Fenvironment that the work credited to a given student is their own. This can require significantresources, if one chooses the policing route, but is possible as outlined below. Alternatively, onecould take the approach of designing quizzes and tests that allow students to use a broader arrayof resources (internet, book, notes, maybe even each other, etc.) to minimize the monitoringrequirements. This second option also comes closer to mimicking what students will be asked todo “in the real world
