The syllabus needsto identify a sequence of topics and corresponding labs and activities. A book that covers thetopics mentioned in the syllabus will be adopted as the textbook for the course. One will noticethat just by searching the topics in the general course

challenge for instructors. Herein, we offer a briefbackground on competency-based assessment trends and approaches. Further, we provide the applicationof competency measures in the context of a fourth-year course in machine design for mechanicalengineering. Our course re-design delivered in Summer 2022 as a pilot implementation with 18 students(both online and in-person) and during Fall 2022 full implementation with 43 students (in-person only)demonstrates the use of specific course planning tools for aligning instruction and assessments schedules.We highlight how learning management system tools provide automated assessments, freeing up facultytime from direct grading to allow for more time to interact with students whose misconceptions

From thisin-class training, students are encouraged by the syllabus to engage in author-directed learning(aka reading), pointed to resources for learning about author directed learning7,8, and encouragedto engage with the textbook prior to class to increase the value of instructor-directed learning(aka lecture).7The syllabus is the first means of introducing Student Notes activities hosted and evaluated onthe course LMS. Students are encouraged to take notes that synthesize the major concepts fromthe reading, everything written on the boards in class

-minute lecture class. During the in-class problem-solving session, theinstructor moved around to see each group's progress and help as necessary to keep the groups ontrack. Although students were allowed to work in groups, finally, they had to submit the solutionsindividually for grades. The individual submissions were graded and used to assign students 10%bonus points for fall 2021 and spring 2022 and 10% mandatory points for summer 2022 and fall2022 in their final grades. All the sections used in this study were taught either in hybrid or F2F.Repeated in-class problem-solving for each topic of the course was the only option used. Thisstudy option was a part of the syllabus, and the instructor explained, on the first day of the class,how these
