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.

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.
