purposes of this paper,we work from the perspective that learning is at the core of institutions of higher education.As we began our efforts to systemically advance innovations in teaching across campus, we(teaching and learning center staff) learned from preliminary interactions that faculty werestruggling to make sense of what we meant by various educational terms.

Learning, by Brown, Roediger, and McDaniel6, has recently made this ideapopular as a guide in improving both teaching and learning practices. There are many tactics forshattering this illusion and enabling more permanent learning, many of which can be summed upby the three “big ideas” put forth by Make It Stick: 1. Learning works by getting it out, not getting it in. 2. Difficulty is desirable. 3. A growth mindset motivates.In this paper, an engineering course is examined for symptoms of illusions of learning, andimprovements to the curriculum and teaching methods are incorporated and reviewed. Thecourse of interest is MFG 480: Manufacturing Process Planning and System Design, a 3-creditengineering course for seniors that has been taught for

Also they can easily review theproblems where they struggle and reinforce those skills. We plan to expand this work bystudying the effect in multiple sections of the course, as well as including data from otherprogramming courses.References1. Bergin, S. & Reilly, R.
