American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Use of Personas in Rating Scholarship ApplicationsIntroductionThis evidence-based practice paper introduces a method for creating subjective, holistic rubricsbased on the human-centered design concept of personas. It can be difficult to align assessmentmetrics with subjective artifacts, especially when the goal of the artifact itself is subjective. Thefaculty team who collaborated on an NSF S-STEM project faced
). They concluded that the use of theseassessments in practice is likely a waste of resources, though solely based on the “meshing,” oralignment of teaching with learning style preference, hypothesis at the center of their review.However, a reason these learning style models are popular among faculty is they provide aheuristic basis for varying teaching methods, such as in-class activities, assignments, andassessments. No research has been conducted to demonstrate increased student performance as aresult of application of the Felder and Soloman (n.d.) learning styles model to teaching, but othermodels have demonstrated evidence of improved performance (Kolb 1984, Brokaw and Merz2000). One study in particular examined the effect of designing

approach involving pre- and post-implementation surveys was deployed to assesschanges in students’ AI knowledge, confidence, and perceived relevance of AI to their careers.Through this assessment, the study documents the effectiveness of integrating AI into an existingcourse and provides insight into best practices for designing similar modules in other constructionor engineering disciplines. By showcasing how AI can be embedded into the teaching of traditionaltopics such as construction materials and testing, this study highlights the potential for hands-on,practice-based learning to equip the next generation of construction professionals with cutting-edgeskills. Hence, this study builds a compelling case for the continued modernization of

The study used a quasi-experimental, mixedmethods design wherein quantitative and qualitative data were collected from first-year studentparticipants in a grant-funded scholarship program (Scholars – the “treatment” group), withquantitative data also collected from a matched group of first-year students who were notprogram participants (Comparison group).
