method of assessment of problem-solving skills that may beextended to assist with the process of assessment planning and quantification for accreditation ofundergraduate degree programs in engineering. Accreditation of undergraduate degree programsin engineering, such as by ABET, currently requires programs to demonstrate students’ ability to“identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles ofengineering, science, and mathematics”[1]. Traditional assessment data can lack reliablegranularity [2] to measure problem-solving skills. Reliable granularity is the reliability (oragreement) of assessment across instructors while quantifying problem-solving processes withaccurate granularity. We propose a new method using

The intent is to reduce student workload by incorporating PLTL with existingassessments vice requiring additional assignments. The authors plan to scale this work beyondthe three previously identified courses.ConclusionThe results so far have been encouraging and show the peer support intervention has positiveeffects on student grades. The course averages indicate that students involved with PLTLactivities have higher course averages an indicator of academic success that has potential to leadto persistence in engineering pathways compared to those students not involved with PLTLactivities. This preliminary data appears to support the overall

activities online, number of assignment and/or quiz submission, total time spent on theLMS, etc. For instance, the study by Kizilcec et al. (2013) [19] used the students’ interactionpatterns on their course LMS data to predict their engagement in the course. Additionally, studentLMS interaction data was used to predict their retention in online courses [20].With that background knowledge, it is evident that teaching online courses requires significantlymore planning, more effort and time investment compared to in-person face-to-face courses. Wewould like to acknowledge that we are not looking down upon teaching courses in-person andneither are we hinting at it is easy to teach in-person face-to-face courses.

task is encapsulated by ABET Criterion 5 which states that an effective team includes“members [who] together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment,establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives” (2023). For the most part, this education inpractice consists of combining students into groups and letting them explore teamwork dynamicsthrough self-determination (i.e., figuring it out as they go). This sort of situational, experientialeducation mimics to some extent what happens in the engineering workplace, where individualswith unique skill sets are tasked with working together to achieve a common goal. However, theoutcomes of this educational approach can be highly variable, resulting in students who have

This raises important questions about how publication venues might need to evolve toaccommodate different types of RtD work.The contrast between Shroyer's planned RtD approach and Coppola and Turns’ retrospectiveapplication demonstrates RtD's versatility. While Shroyer explicitly embraced RtD during her designefforts, Coppola and Turns retrospectively applied RtD frameworks to understand existing practice.This suggests RtD's value not just for new design work but for making sense of establishededucational practices. Despite these different approaches, both studies culminated in frameworks -Shroyer's framework for configuring a seeing-across-projects experience and Coppola's temporalframework - showing a specific way that RtD can create

Pattern recognition involves finding generalizable features acrossdifferent problems and the potential for cross-applicability. Lastly, debugging is testing for errorsand correcting them. While abstraction and decomposition are terms consistently appearingacross studies, the other components used to define CT may vary [7]. However, the central ideamaintained is that CT equips individuals with a framework for solving problems in a structuredand systematic way, regardless of the domain in which the problem arises.

An excellent example of this focus within engineeringeducation comes from a study by Jones et al. [47]. The researchers were interested in first-yearengineering differences in self-efficacy expectations, engineering success expectations,engineering identity, engineering values, achievement, and career plans between male andfemale students. An interesting finding was that males had higher expectancy beliefs, includingthose related to self-efficacy than females, but both populations saw losses in their expectancyand value beliefs over the first

The findings align with the themeas they showcase the adaptability of goal setting based on task complexity. The resultsshowed that students could tell the difference between simple and complex tasks as theymade changes to their goals or plans. They dug deeper to analyze the complex tasks incomparison to easy tasks in which they used shallow plans for the analysis. This is alsoendorsed by Dupeyrat and Mariné [31], performance goals are usually associated withshallow−processing strategies such as rote learning. This shows that students adopt a masterygoal toward complex tasks by analyzing the task deeply instead of showing avoidance.Similarly
