It was suggested that GD&T should be taught for 60hours during two quarters or during one whole semester [3].

EducationIntroductionTraditionally, Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) have welcomed a homogenous body ofstudents with similar socio-economic, academic, and racial/ethnic backgrounds. Institutionalpolicies have prevented access and full participation of minoritized students leading to lowerretention and graduation. This has spillover effects into the workforce where there is animbalance in the representation of minority groups. As shown in a recent report from the PewResearch Center, Blacks and Hispanics make 27% of all employees but only 17% of the STEMworkforce [1].Despite this history, for the past few decades universities and colleges have seen an increase instudents coming from historically marginalized communities including Black students [2], [3], [4].

More recently, the practice of ungrading has become more prominent in thehumanities and social sciences and is slowly being adopted by engineering education. In coursesthat utilize ungrading, students are required to develop a portfolio of writing intensive or othertypes of projects in lieu of traditional assignments [2].

Yet, whenthe focus of assessment shifts toward proficiency with the content and skills being taught,learning can actually be enhanced, not diminished. With mastery grading, rather than earningpoints, the students are assessed on their level of mastery on a variety of content outcomes.Mastery grading allows for learning to be student-centered and focuses on the understanding ofcourse content on the student’s timeline.
