Each set included a question that did not useengineering term(s), another question that used engineering term(s), and finally a question testingwhether the participants understood the engineering term. The study also included questionsabout participants’ demographic background.The study was administered to 1st year engineering students in mechanical and civil engineeringstudents in their first semester at university level. The data was then analyzed to find differencesin student performance for questions with and without engineering terminology. Anothervariable of interest was the effect of students’ demographic

circuits course(s). Because mastery of each of thesefundamental concepts is essential for future courses, the use of standards-based grading (SBG) isappealing, as it measures proficiency on an objective-by-objective basis.SBG has been implemented in several fundamental undergraduate engineering courses, includingfluid mechanics [2], thermodynamics [3], signals and systems [4, 5], and software verification[6]. In electric circuits, other grading strategies and interventions have been used, such as usingteam-based learning [7], reflection and metacognition [8], and mastery-based grading [9]. Itshould be noted that, while SBG and mastery-based grading are quite similar approaches, onemajor difference in the author’s approach to SBG is that all-or
United States, the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionsremain disproportionately white and male when compared with the overall population [1]. This is also thecase with higher education degree attainment [1]. Our university has one of the more diverse studentpopulations in the U. S. [2], and a stated commitment to social justice, equity, and inclusion [3].However, our faculty demographics reflect the national trends in the STEM professions. Thus, ourstudents may not see people like them represented in our faculty or their chosen professions. Representation does matter for college STEM students.
