Hands-On ProjectsAbstractEach first-year student attending the J. B. Speed School of Engineering (SSoE) at the Universityof Louisville (UofL), regardless of declared major, must complete a two-course sequence ofintroductory engineering courses. These courses, Engineering Methods, Tools, & Practice I(ENGR 110) and Engineering Methods, Tools, & Practice II (ENGR 111), introduce thefundamental tenets of the engineering profession. The first course in the sequence, ENGR 110,focuses on introducing a variety of fundamental engineering skills. The second course, ENGR111, is a hands-on, project-based course housed in a 15,000 square foot makerspace that hasstudents integrate and apply the skills learned in ENGR 110. One of the many skills

LOMBOK is a package designed to help reduce repetitive code in Java programs suchas the code for getters and setters [9]. By using LOMBOK we were able to reduce in places theamount of coding necessary since LOMBOK handled the generation of this code at compile timeincluding certain constructors and getters. Additionally, certain logical checks could beeliminated since some of these could be handled with LOMBOK annotations.3.3 Testing As stated above a proper automated unit test suite was not included due to time constraints.Despite this, some non-automated tests were included to

Both sections were given similar assignmentswith only minor details changed for exam questions.Description of this Implementation of Mastery GradingThe most important part of mastery grading is deciding how to organize course assessments. Inthis course, Rojas created five assessment categories: quizzes, homeworks, exams, a project, andindividual project contributions. Given that Rojas taught this course several times before, heassumed that previous assignments already mapped well to the Course Learning Objectives(CLOs) and he did not need to update the assignment content. Next, Rojas converted eachassignment so that he could grade them as either needs revision (NR), low pass (LP), or highpass (HP) with the only
