2012 and 2019 [5].This paper will describe the philosophical and practical questions which arose in adoptingDELTA’s gamification module for use in Engineering Statics at NC State. Each of the questionsbelow could be answered in very different ways in different situations with different instructors;Every solution has pros and cons. This paper states the philosophical questions we agonized overand describes the solutions the team adopted for this version of Statics. Any similar project mayhave different answers to these questions but will likely encounter the need to answer them oneway or the other. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2021 2021 ASEE Annual

hours that were transformed into study sessions onstudents’ homework and exam grades. At a medium sized (4000-8000 undergraduate students),public, primarily undergraduate, hispanic serving 4-year institution, hour-long study sessions wereheld once per week the evening before homework was due for both a dynamics course and athermodynamics course. The courses and study sessions were led by the same instructor. The studysessions were voluntary and did not directly influence course grades, but attendance records showthat on average 17% of students attended on any given week. Data were collected on study sessionattendance, homework grades, midterm grades on the three midterm exams, gender, ethnicity, andPell grant status, in Fall 2019 (Dynamics and

are three lectures and one laboratory session per week. The classroom follows a blendedformat where the students have to come prepared for the class by watching pre-recorded videosand taking a quiz due before class. It begins with reviewing the quiz followed by interactiveproblem-solving. The entire class works as a single group while the instructor asks specificquestions and triggers guided discussion leading to problem-solving.Towards the goal of improved comprehension and retention, a zero-credit laboratory session isintroduced to this course in Fall 2019 at Angelo State University. The lab session was a “self-assessment problem solving” session where students are challenged with a random problem onthe concepts covered in the past week to

We have discovered students perform as well as paper homework or other onlinehomework systems which only check the final answer through deployment to five universities with450 students completing homework on the system over the 2018 and 2019 school years.
