grading [3]. Major issues associated with grading includesubjectivity and bias, grade inflation, a focus on grades over learning, and the allocation offaculty time [4]. Grading may also have political and social dimensions, and can involve powerdynamics, issues of agency, and other complex ethical issues [5]. The paper by Schinke andTanner [6] provides a good summary of the history of grading, a discussion of the primarypurposes of grading, and examines some of the pitfalls and challenges. For decades, educatorshave been exploring ways to make grading more effective and efficient (e.g. [7]). However, inengineering in particular, papers specifically describing studies of grading practices are few [8].While grading practices of engineering faculty

engineering education. Moreover, engineering as a field tends to neglect important social, community, andhumanistic considerations. Calls to increase participation typically invoke nationalcompetitiveness and the need to fill employment pipelines [7] rather than notions of empowermentand justice. Similarly, the teaching of engineering tends to favor technical over socio-culturalaspects. This is what Leydens and Lucena [8] describe as the prioritization of problem-solvingover problem definition: the former relies on engineering skills, whereas the latter relies on societalunderstanding. When engineering education leaves out problem definition, students are leftunprepared to address the complex challenges and ethical dilemmas that inevitably
