to describe this type of assessment plan may vary, including Standards Based Grading orSpecifications Based Grading [3], the end result is the same: students are given multipleopportunities to show mastery at a particular skill or course learning objective.Intuitively, this approach makes sense, especially when engineering programs themselves areevaluated on a continuous improvement plan for ABET accreditation [6]. However, it is not oftenthe case in higher education in the United States to see a constant learning cycle presented to thestudents. While most instructors would agree that student learning is the highest priority, manycourses still offer a limited number of high-stakes assessments, which ultimately represent asignificant

In this paper, we focus on the ways inwhich we support teams as they navigate the co-creation process.Our interdisciplinary teams are involved in projects with two major outcomes. In addition todeveloping educational modules, the first major outcome, teams also plan a study related to theirCPS topics with the goal of writing and presenting an academic paper, the second majoroutcome. During the 2022-2023 academic year, we have three teams composed of students andfaculty from three universities: the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML), the University ofMassachusetts Dartmouth (UMassD), and the University

courses, yet these are typically taught in isolation from corebiology and physiology classes. We argue that computational modeling can be used as a tool forunderstanding these concepts. Using coding and modeling as a tool also exposes students to awider range of applications for computer programming and provides them with opportunities toapply computational thinking to real-world applications. We plan to continue innovating ourcourse and move towards more accessible tools, such as Jupyter Notebooks, CVSim [8], andCircAdapt [9], as platforms for enhanced learning of cardiovascular function in BME curricula.

Doing this will allow the tutorsto have more material to cover with the students in a smaller setting. This will also encouragestudents to work more problems on their own, thereby helping them to retain the math topicsbeing taught and should result in increased scores in their first calculus course.The academic team plans to develop an educational research plan for the program and gauge theeffectiveness of aspects of the program, particularly for underrepresented groups.

Several instruments have been usedto evaluate domains of students’ ability to ethically reason [9, 10]. Like other competencies,moral reasoning ability (ethical competency) is different from one’s self-efficacy related to moralreasoning (ethics self-efficacy). Self-efficacy is defined as “an individual’s beliefs in theircapabilities to plan and take the actions required to achieve a particular outcome” [11].
