Through a comprehensive analysis comparing student outcomes under traditional andanonymous grading methods, the study seeks to empirically validate the effectiveness ofanonymous grading in improving student performance and psychological well-being,contributing to the development of more equitable educational practices.IntroductionAcademic evaluation has traditionally been dominated by exams and quizzes. While widelyused, these conventional approaches have come under scrutiny for their potential to perpetuateimplicit biases. Among these, the halo and horn effects [1][2] stand out, where an

They can either get aBachelor of Arts (B.A.) through the College of Letters and Sciences (L&S), or get a Bachelor ofScience (B.Sc.) through the College of Engineering. The major difference between the two tracksis that students who get the B.A. get to take breadth requirements that gives them exposure tomore

onintroducing students to engineering, the focus of such interventions and studies has shifted toconstructs that researchers believe will be better predictors of students choosing to pursueengineering as a college major and/or career (Hynes et al., 2017). Those include identity,perceptions of engineering, attitudes and beliefs toward engineering, self-efficacy in engineering,and interest in engineering. One factor that has been consistently cited among those conductingresearch and evaluation of such programs is students’ perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs towardengineering (Hynes et al., 2017). There have been mixed results with respect to the extent towhich in-school and out-of-school engineering programs are able to increase students’perceptions

Two studies to examine performance and retentionfound that LLCs had little effect on first-semester grades but increased first-year retention inengineering by 2 to 12%. Unfortunately, one of these studies did not control for differences inincoming student characteristics, and another used a comparison group that differed little fromthe LLC group, possibly causing them to understate the LLC’s true effects. To improve ourunderstanding, this paper examines performance and retention in the inaugural EngineeringLLCs at a small, private non-profit, regional university in the northeastern United States.Results indicate that 82% of the Engineering LLC participants

We envision a delivery of different subsets of the EOP frameworkcompetencies across the project-spine to ensure meaningful engagement is achieved for allcompetencies. This approach allows for at least two synergistic pedagogical and researchopportunities: 1) emphasizing a different subset of EOP competencies in different PjBLcourses allows students to see the interdependencies between those competencies in moredepth; and 2) spreading

table.There are some differences between the learning outcomes of the ME and ECE capstone courses,which have the potential to create minor challenges for an exhibit-driven project such asElectronic ARTrium. Because real-world mechanical engineering often involves very physicallylarge and expensive creations, such as centrifuges for pilot training, ME students at Georgia Techare not required to build prototypes for their capstone projects and are generally discouragedfrom doing so, but rather a “proof-of-concept design” is considered sufficient, as indicated inOutcome 4. On the other hand, EE and CmpE capstone students are expected to build prototypes,since a wide range of real-world ECE creations are practical to build as prototypes in the contextof
