by helping students “perceive their growing competenceand ability to perform engineering related tasks” [10]. Examples of these assessment typesinclude course projects, e-portfolios, and other means for students to build and demonstrate theirknowledge that are conducive to their own interests and consider the multiple intersections ofstudents’ social identities [10].Such feedback is also important for adopting unconventional assessment approaches or those thatstudents have not yet been exposed to. For example, Morton et al. [11] found that students didnot appear to possess an innate capacity for in-depth levels of reflection regardless of assessmenttype. Therefore, it is important for faculty to provide opportunities for students to

Othernegative experiences included feeling they did not understand the purpose of assignments on thecourse learning management system and other team members were not contributing. At thebeginning of the semester, assignments focused on ethics, teaming, how to do a literature reviewand document research, and other preliminary topics. Students wanted to dive right into theresearch rather than completing training and pre-research activities. Additionally, journalassignments requested that students reflect on their experiences weekly. Engineering students arenot accustomed to

Critical to the process was the active reflection and analysis of power, privilege,identity and motivations while the work was happening. Similarly, we used critical questioningexpertise to bring clarity to the problem, add context, and generate ideas. This is similar to otherproblem-solving techniques; however, the coupling of the reflection and purposefulness

Data collection involved the use of three carefullydeveloped questions in both transportation (with 3 contextual representations) and hydraulicdesign (with 4 contextual representations). The process required each participant to sit in front ofa computer monitor that displays the problem statement and
