grading approach, the author faced many obstacles andchallenges, which required extra thought and planning for the future semesters. For instance,many students procrastinated and only came for reassessments at the end of the semester,causing long lines outside the office during office hours. This was a heavy burden for theinstructor and left insufficient time for providing individualized feedback, which was the purposeof the office hour reassessments. The unlimited number of attempts did not sufficiently motivatestudents to perform better on their first tries. It also generated an excessive amount of grading.The author needs to reevaluate the number of reassessments allowed and encourage students toreflect and review before

Additionally, as we plan to use this survey to assess STEMstudents of multiple majors throughout their course of study, the exclusion of domain-basedknowledge as a component of AE is important - individuals may be adaptive and employadaptive approaches to problem solving without displaying strong content knowledge and thus,we can consider the adaptiveness of students at various levels of education as they progresswithin their program.Methodology and Survey DetailsAt Stevens, all first-year students are required to complete a number of subject pool

They all agreed their teams had a plan to split theproject workload up, but so far some team members did not complete their parts. Participantsalso felt there was too much work to equally split between all of the team members.

Through this experience, the students learned to plan, schedule, design, andimplement non-academic engineering solutions effectively.In doing so, the students also devised a unique solution for the vibration analysis problemdiscussed in the beginning of the paper. The solution can potentially help identify faults or detectfuture failures in rotating machinery on a real-time edge-analytics based system. This can beuseful in a wide variety of applications, such as those relevant to human safety, those in whichthe maintenance downtime for the equipment of interest is very long
