students: oneundergoing a traditional cumulative assessment (Group A) and the other experiencingthe modified ‘chunking’ assessment structure (Group B). Paired t-tests were employed tocompare the results between the two groups. The results reveal that Group Boutperformed Group A with a 24% increase in final assessment scores. Additionally,Group B exhibited higher levels of engagement with the material during the assessmentweek. These findings suggest that modifying the assessment structure by dividing thefinal assessment into multiple portions may reduce cognitive and testing fatigue, leadingto improved student performance and increased engagement. Further research coulddelve into the underlying mechanisms driving these effects to inform the design

different expectations, and with the flipped classroom approach, there aremore nuances due to different student personalities and how that affects the learning process.Furthermore, how does one determine which students put forth the work and effort worthy of anA letter grade compared to students doing B or C quality work? This has evolved a lot throughoutthe M2I program and will continue to evolve to improve the methodology and hopefully find theoptimal way to assess this style of class.In recent semesters, we have been using a combination of having students submit their time spenton the project, with a minimum number of hours required per credit hour, and submitting a shortpresentation, often referred to as a quad chart.

The main considerations toaccomplish this were to include safe distancing requirements and minimize student stress andanxiety. This wasaccomplished by (a) limitingthe number of teams thatcould occupy the laboratoryspace (Fig. 1) at any giventime and (b) allowing alonger period of time tocomplete the many steps inthe project. Since thenecessary course materialhad not been covered toenable students to designtheir panels, the panelgeometry (stringer shape,size, quantity, spacing andform of attachment) wasgiven to each team two Figure 1.

nickel-cadmium (Ni-cd) batteries which have values in the range of 10-25 volts and 10-50 Ah values.However, lithium-ion (Li-ion) or lithium-polymer (LiPo) batteries can have values of 200V to600V or more. The ampere-hour (Ah) rating of these batteries can vary from a few tens toseveral hundred Ah. The values can vary from one aircraft to another depending on the aircraft'srequirements. These higher voltages require additional personal protection equipment to handlethe equipment. OSHA 1910 includes requirements for those working with high voltages [11].These requirements include the following: a. 1910.269: If the voltage is more than 600v there should be at least two employees present. b. 1910.269: The technician

Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X (ASDE-X) is a surveillancesystem that provides location and movement information of aircraft and vehicles on the airport toair traffic controllers [9]. ASDE-X was developed to reduce the Category A and B runwayincursions at airports by providing continuous information of aircraft and vehicle location onairport movement areas. This equipment was implemented at 35 major U.S. airports [9].The FAA defines U.S. airports as Large, Medium, Small, and Non hub airports.
