This study aimed to replace one of the traditional midterm exams with an experientialassessment to explore the impact on students' performance and their preference for this formatover the traditional setting. In this experiential assessment, students were tasked with designingand building a built-up beam using foam materials and sewing pins during the exam (60minutes). The objectives of the exam encompassed calculating the loading of a beam from afloor plan, drawing shear force diagram, bending moment diagram, recognizing maximum shearforce and bending moment on the beam
