individual ICAs are more effective atencouraging students to actively participate in their learning. Since cooperative learningactivities can require significant instructor time investment to be planned and might consumevaluable lecture time, only notable supplemental benefits of this learning technique might justifythe time commitment [1]. To the best of our knowledge, existing comparative studies in thisdomain are limited and do not specifically analyze student performance on a variety of formativeand summative assessments in an undergraduate mechanical engineering course [10]. Thecurrent study aims to fill that gap in literature. The methodology presented in this study andsample assessment questions provided in the Appendix can easily be utilized

The most common course to require teamsis senior design. ABET again mandates this course saying that the curriculum must contain “aculminating major engineering design experience that 1) incorporates appropriate engineeringstandards and multiple constraints, and 2) is based on the knowledge and skills acquired inearlier course work [1].”As

Among these methods, conceptmapping has emerged as a promising approach, particularly for the assessment of EM [8–10].Davies provides a summary of concept mapping software tools and features [11]. Kane and Trochim [12]explored concept mapping for planning and evaluation. Prior research indicates that concept maps can beused effectively as an educational tool to improve students' understanding in various disciplines, not onlyengineering. A summary of prior work in concept mapping is shown in Table 1.While prior studies have explored concept maps as an engineering tool, this research focuses on howconcept maps can be used to address the complexity of

To reduce fossil fuel consumption and promote increased use of renewable energy,institutions & socio-economic systems require technological innovations and more substantialand long-term political commitments [2]. One solution to achieve this goal is to develop andimplement educational plans that increase awareness of the environment and its protection.We can consider the Environmental Education Act of 1972 a first step toward this goal.

The future success of transferstudents is essential to a 4-year University like UTSA which has many transfer students. It isreported that transfer students often experience difficulty feeling part of the student communityand this can negatively impact their future academic achievements [3].

Like a good coach in sports, the instructor can find the currentlimits and help students push themselves just a bit further – this is how humans improve.However, critique-driven assessment also presents challenges for instructors. Keeping studentson track requires more effort as there are no deadlines. Since the course is part of a minor andoften the 6th course for students in the term, the workload is already high. To help students getorganized, a suggested schedule with weekly milestones was provided. Also, lectures start with ashort logistics block to address questions about schedule and organization.

For example, if weuse final exam performance on a statics exam to measure academic achievement, it is likely thatthe scores students obtain are coming primarily from their participation in class rather than theirextra-/co-curricular involvement. It is possible that a planned future activity for this study –conducting interviews with students, as explained in the “Future Work” subsection of this paper– may shed some light on how extra-/co-curricular participation impacts their academicachievement.The sample size is also smaller than we would have preferred, leading in some cases to numberstoo small to yield meaningful results (e.g. only four participants were involved in a servicelearning activity, so the results for this type of activity

We have focused on the 62 first-year mechanical engineeringstudents who enrolled and passed MECH 101 in the two experimental years. Based on thestudents’ paths related to Statics, we can group the 62 students into the following four categories: • Group A: Passing Statics with a C or better (n = 35) • Group B: Receiving a C- or DFW in Statics, resulting in a retake (n = 12) • Group C: Planning to take

Additionally, we've reduced the number of in-class quizzes to make room in class periods for adoption of new materials.• Several student ideas, such as integrating history into lab experiments, highlighting key figures in chapters, and using videos to spark curiosity, can inform recommendations for future course development.• One student suggested creating an optional open discussion forum on Brightspace for sharing
