question:How did the implementation of a gamification platform impact students’ academic motivationtowards homework within a freshman design course?MethodsGamification Platform DesignThe 3D Game Lab platform was originally designed in the fall of 2015, and was created withnine different levels that students could move through by acquiring experience points (XP).Each quest provides students with a number of experience points (XP) that combine together toachieve students overall XP within the 3D Game Lab platform. This platform builds off anexisting beta software platform that has been developed by GoGo Laboratories.19 3D Game Labconsists of a software platform that allows individual instructors to build in quests (or activities)for students to complete

To overcome these challenges,educators must be creative and implement multiple topics and techniques into a single course.This is especially true when trying to teach non-technical engineering skills such asprofessionalism, communication, and economics as articulated in the ASCE Body ofKnowledge4. Activities such as design projects, field trips, and laboratory experiments are oftenused to help provide a well-rounded education. The objective of this research was to explore the design-build process in a series ofhorizontal design courses. Design-build is a common project delivery technique in the structuralengineering industry. Designers and contractors work as a single entity

As a result, a Statics instructor may facesubstantial pressure (whether real or perceived) to minimize the attrition rate yet still preparestudents for subsequent higher-level engineering coursework.Various pedagogical approaches to teaching mechanics have been attempted with the intent ofimproving student success. Some approaches include supplemental instruction [2], interactivetutoring [3], recitations [4], virtual laboratories [5], online courseware [6], and gaming [7].
