To date, outcomes have been assessed for bothstudent groups through direct comparison of homework grades and through student surveys. In futureiterations of this work it is proposed that the results of common examinations also be used to determinewhich strategy optimizes individual student performance.2 BackgroundThis study describes the results of student outcomes under varying homework assessment strategies inEGR 102: Introduction to Engineering Modeling.

these students live on campus. All students take two semesters ofengineering fundamentals, and also, depending upon their intended major and background,choose their math and science courses from two special honors physics courses, two honorschemistry courses, an engineering mechanics honors course, two accelerated calculus honorscourses, and a special linear algebra course. The students are not arranged into specific cohortsthat share the exact same schedule, but they do tend to see many familiar faces in each of theircourses. The visibly random grouping was conducted in some sections of the first-semesterengineering honors course.This course has two components: engineering fundamentals and hands-on laboratory exercises.In the engineering

. To make minimal impacton student credit hours, the course was designed as a one semester, 2 credit hour course. Thisallows first-year students to take the course in the fall, spring, or summer terms. Fitting thatquantity of students into a makerspace and having a meaningful experience resulted in thestructure of a 2 hour live meeting once per week for a maximum of 49 students per section. Thiswill result in approximately 33 sections; 14 in the fall, 14 in the spring, and 5 in the summer. Adedicated makerspace classroom and 3D printer room for the Engineering Design & Societycourse is part of a building currently under construction with an opening date within the nextyear.

Starting with teamwork allows us aseducators to highlight the importance of collaborative working within the student cohort, witha view to creating an open culture, whereby students are supportive of each other, and canexpect support from their peers and staff. The workshop should not only highlight theimportance of formal group work, but to allow students to see themselves as an “effective”team throughout their course, even outside of assessments. If students are able to effectivelysee themselves as a team throughout their degree course, they can maximise their educationthrough peer-to-peer learning and co-operation[6].The main aims of carrying out the transferable skills

This distinction is typically characterized by the adoption ofdifferent curricula, instructional approaches, a mix of lectures and laboratories, and textbooks. Itis broadly expected that such an approach would facilitate the development of different domainsof knowledge, ranging from more abstract and theoretical for engineering students to moreapplied and hands-on for engineering technology students. Considering the disproportionatedifferences in the spatial contents, tools of spatial representation, and associated spatial reasoningprocesses in fundamental courses such as solid mechanics or fluid dynamics, this study seeks tofind a relationship, if any, between students’ spatial

If students had class, or needed toattend their professor’s office hours or meet with student groups, or utilize laboratory or studiofacilities in their respective colleges, they were able to step out for these engagements and thenreturn. The general idea was to have a central study location that students would study in forthree days straight during the day. They also had vouchers which could be used for lunch. After5:20 pm they could continue their regular evening schedules, which might include studying orcompleting final assignments. This was a mandatory event. On Day 1
