an algorithm thatautomatically grades each sketch. When errors are made, students can redraw their sketch or takea peek at the solution, which highlights the lines in their sketch that are correct or incorrect. Theobjective of the App is to teach spatial visualization and freehand sketching skills, which havebeen show to increase retention in STEM majors, especially among under-represented andwomen students. A unique aspect of this App compared to other eLearning tools is that thesketching assignments are not multiple-choice, and thus require students to synthesize theircomplete solution. As a result, data that tracks how engaged students are at different stages of anassignment can be collected. The App was integrated into a 1-unit Spatial

Typically theinstructional materials for Lesson 4 include an “Imagine” handout with four boxes in whichstudents can draw their design sketches. The next step of Lesson 4 is “Plan,” in which studentsare asked to work with their group to determine a single design proposal to prototype. They aresupported by a “Plan” handout that gives space for a single design sketch and materials list

Our first step addressing this issue was to break down our overridingquestion—are automated assessment tools helpful in programming courses?—into four morespecific questions: (1) Have AATs proven to be helpful in improving student learning? (2) Dostudents think that AATs have improved their performance? (3) After having used the tools

manipulating geometry (spatial ability) is a fundamental skill thatdeserves careful attention when designing courses of study in engineering and technologyeducation. Numerous research studies have correlated high performance in spatial skills testswith high grades in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) disciplines atuniversity level. In a longitudinal study conducted by Wai et al. [1] it was found that thelikelihood of earning an advanced degree in STEM is directly related to spatial ability1.

By examining current STEM assessments with two frameworks, this study aims toanswer the following research questions: (1) What aspects of engineering are being assessed incommon engineering or integrated STEM curricular units? (2) What level of cognitive demand isbeing referenced by these assessments? (3) What level of cognitive demand is assessed for eachaspect of engineering design?

The 1970s were a tumultuous decade for American economic policy. Events like the oilcrises in 1973 and 1979, the U.S. withdrawal from the Bretton Woods monetary agreement, andstagflation - the combination of low economic growth, high unemployment, and high inflationrates - began to cast doubt upon the incumbent Keynesian economic policy paradigm [1, p. 372],[2, p. 20], [3]. Beginning in this decade, both domestic and international economic policy beganto shift away from accepting a role for the government in shaping economic policy and toward aminimized role focused on ensuring proper market functioning and little else. This retraction ofgovernment regulation and intervention came under the name of neoliberalism. Neoliberalism isbroadly
