studytime solving textbook problems [1, 2]. In undergraduate engineering courses, most of thesetextbook problems (and course assessments designed by instructors to include these textbookproblems either verbatim or a variation of these problems) are designed to evaluate the ability ofstudents to recall facts and basic concepts, and apply these concepts in various contexts to solvenumerical problems (Please refer to Tables A.1 and A.2 for sample questions). Students mightdevelop problem-solving skills, partially through pattern-based recognition, by completing theseassignments and also be able to achieve good grades in the course. However, these grades (andoverall GPAs) are often not an accurate reflection of their understanding of

Following these accomplishments he worked on the SADARM fire and forget projectile that was finally used in the second gulf war. Since that time, circa 2002, his studies have focused on unmanned systems both air and ground.

Gamificationis a natural application of experiential learning, wherein students learn by doing i.e. being activelyengaged in material with tasks, problems, or projects. Trivial examples of gamification to enhancelearning include those of educational games or in self-teaching tools such as Khan Academy orClasscraft.

Further, because engineering occurs within systems of social inequalities,politics, and social hierarchies, engineering students must have opportunities to consider thesesocial aspects of engineering [1]. Without exposure to unpacking inequalities, engineers mayperpetuate oppression, marginalization, and other forms of social inequalities [2].
