While international sojourns involving study, research, and/orinternship experiences abroad remain prevalent and are often viewed as most impactful, on-campus and online/virtual learning experiences have also been developed and offered toengineering students at many schools. Such programs tend to be more scalable and resourceefficient as compared to travel-based programs, potentially allowing more engineering studentsto receive some amount of exposure to global engineering without needing to leave their homecampuses [3

[3] provide a literature review of thebenefits and pitfalls of online homework. They noted that others found that the ability forstudents to try again may encourage students to practice to achieve mastery [4] and thatrandomization of exercises is likely to reduce cheating [5]. One drawback of online homeworkthat they reported is that it emphasizes the final answer rather than the process.

This issue only becomes exacerbated bythe current COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, academic programs across the world strive for ABETaccreditation as it certifies the academic rigor and high-standard of the program, as well asprofessional preparedness of program graduates for the competitive global workforce requirements[1, 2]. While ABET accreditation is a highly sought-after affair, it appears as a daunting task tomost academic programs, especially when the personnel in charge of

succumb to “shortcuts” such as these.One common digital method that instructors use to ensure timely return of feedback is “auto-grading”. Due to the overwhelming number of students enrolled in a course, many instructorshave designed their homework assignments using digital sources that will grade a student’s workas soon as they answer a question. Based on student survey responses, previous studies haveindicated that this method of assessment may be more suitable for multiple choice questionsrather than “problem solving” questions as the grading is focused primarily on the final answer,not the solution steps [1, 17]. Engineering coursework is typically focused on the steps andprocesses required to arrive at the correct solution; rather than the

Wilkersonet.al [2-3] has shown good student motivation in learning new topics using PBL in a capstonedesign program. In these efforts it was shown that students will self-motivate and therefore gainmore in-depth knowledge then what might be found in a typical classroom environment whereonly specific areas are covered.
