Title: How to conduct oral exams as a more equitable and inclusive alternative format for knowledgeassessmentDuring the 2020 pandemic, remote classes became the standard for engineering and technology coursesacross the country. Oral exams have been frequently deployed as a means to ensure academic honesty.This presentation explores, analyzes, and discusses multiple factors that makes oral exam a moreequitable and inclusive alternative format for knowledge assessment. The focus is on the loosely-structured, dialogue-type oral exams evaluated by the course instructor.Oral exams are known to help improve students’ oral communication skills and performance underpressure, but it is also known to be very time consuming and subjective.

specific need of an individual client. Early results of merging engineering educationand an area of social significance have been very positive. Students have welcomed both thehands-on and personal contribution aspects of their projects. In many cases, projects have led toresearch extensions, additional community connections, and for many students, inspiration tocontinue with graduate studies. The objective of this paper is to report on the motivation, design,and results of the capstone course sequence in assistive technology. Specific projects, past andcurrent, are also highlighted.1.

developed the Ekranoplanvehicle project during a Technology Education course. An Ekranoplan or Wing-In-GroundEffect vehicle flies very close to a water surface. The vehicle uses design elements of bothairplanes and marine craft. Ground-effect flight enables a vehicle to carry either a larger payloador operate with greater fuel efficiency than a conventional airplane. The candidates testedseveral vehicle configurations, power sources and construction techniques. Vehicle constructionguidelines and curriculum outlines were developed to disseminate to other technology educators.The project has been used to teach the engineering design process to freshman students inWestern Washington University’s Engineering Technology Design Graphics
