Incentivized by a $400stipend per person, more than 70,000 participated in a battery of 50 tests, generating a wealth ofdata that took scientists eight years to analyze.

high rates of universitydropout and the determination of its main causes and solutions [1]. Dropout affects significantlyboth personally and socially. Deficient education for dropouts can be reflected in a significantdecline in their future economic and social well-being [2]. Furthermore, a shortage of skilledworkers can undermine a country's productivity [2]. Currently, universities have high dropoutrates that are evidenced in the data officially presented by official institutions. According to theUnited Nations Organization, dropout exceeds 40% in Latin American countries such asColombia and Ecuador, and even 50% and 54% in Costa Rica and Brazil respectively [3]. Theserates worsen significantly when emphasis is placed only on STEM careers

Students were successful in applying the techniques that theylearned.Assessing engineering design through projects has proven to increase first-year engineeringstudents’ self-efficacy [6]. This study included an in-class team design task supplemented byindividual reflections. The exam on the other hand was an individual written assessment.

Students deserve to be treated fairly and therefore the grading system employed shouldaim to be consistent across a program. Rubrics provide a mechanism to standardize grading sothat student scores reflect student performance objectively [7]. A rubric articulates specificstudent skills and expectations on a categorical scale. Modern LMS’s support the implementationof grading rubrics for scoring student performances.The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate our efforts to automate student outcomes assessmentusing the Canvas LMS.

We note that the granularity ofour analysis is limited by the use of institutional data. For example, we have ACT scores as acrude proxy for opportunity gaps in high school (the hypothesis being that opportunity gapswould be reflected in this metric).Following the framework of Costello et al.

Some of the participants commented thatthe VR labs displayed the intended learning concepts in a way that made them mentallyrelatable. Their perception of the VR for the lab reflected perceptions about the utility valueand tool efficacy of the VR labs. More than half of the participants thought the VR labs gavea good visual representation of abstract concepts introduced during classroom lectures.

management (n = 8),transitioning to college (n = 5), and commuting (n = 3). Time management, especially coupledwith transitioning, was a main issue in the beginning of the semester. Specifically, studentsstruggled with balancing responsibilities in their lives (e.g., spreading out assignments andreadings instead of waiting until the last minute, study life versus work life, exercise, sleep andwaking up schedule). Being commuters affected academic performance and health. Due to a longcommute, sometimes students came to classes late, missing critical class information. Thisimpacted their understanding of the subject matter, and it was reflected in their low grades.Similarly, after a long commute back home, they only had limited hours of sleep. This
