, 2023 A comparison study of engineering standards taught in mechanical engineering programs in two countriesAbstract Mechanical engineering standards are documented codes that enable the design processof machine elements and equipment. These internationally recognized standards are importantfor reliability, safety, productivity, and efficiency of machines and equipment. Internationalorganizations such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization), ASME (AmericanSociety of Mechanical Engineers), and several other organizations oversee and constantlyupdate these codes to keep pace with technological advancements in industry, globally. Literature suggests that one of the major issues impacting

A study involving the integration of a standards-basedgrading system in five science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses foundthat standards-based grading improved students’ self-efficacy and was perceived as valuable bythe students [18].In engineering, there are examples of using both standards-based grading and specificationsgrading.

A linear classroom approach such as this leads students down thesame repeated path each time they approach a problem. Inside of the classroom this makes for aneasy teaching plan and a step by step problem solving guide for students to follow [3

Feedback is also rarely consulted according to manyteachers and only the grade matters for the student [1-3]. Studies indicate that the use ofInformation and Communication Technologies (ICT) would make it possible to respond to certainlimitations of traditional feedback. For example, ICT would make it possible to give morefeedback, facilitate learner ownership [1] and promote their academic performance [4]. AmongICTs
