This paper discusses two of these courses: a seniordesign course and a unit operations laboratory. Both of these courses generally have more 50students enrolled in each course. Before discussing the implementation in each course, it isnecessary to discuss features of MOM that are common to all courses.General ImplementationInitially, faculty must apply for a password protected instructor account through the MOMwebsite.

the 1980s and 1990s, whichtreated systems as dynamic and ill-defined [6]. The evolving definitions of EdTech reflectsocietal changes across generations, and these definitions may represent only a snapshot in time[4]. In 2014, Lakhana [4] investigated the ambiguity surrounding the concept of EdTech,discussing the perspectives of soft technology versus hard technology. Lakhana [4] emphasizedthat, although many scholars advocate for the inclusion of soft technology as a type of EdTech,the literature often demonstrates a bias towards hard technology. The preference for tangible,material conceptions of EdTech, driven by their simplicity, often overshadows less intuitiveperspectives, such as the role of technology in shaping knowledge [4

In 2022-23, web-based pre-classreading responses were implemented in Engineering Economy, Mechanics of Materials, andIntroduction to Geotechnical Engineering to encourage student preparation. In the experimentalsections, students answered two or three conceptual questions on the course website before eachclass. These responses were used to tailor in-class activities to better address students' needs.This study compares test performance between students who completed these pre-class responsesand those who did not, with both groups being taught by the same instructor and following thesame learning

Despite this distinct focus, CONEgraduates are required to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Civil Exam, which heavilyemphasizes traditional Civil Engineering topics. This misalignment has long been recognized asa challenge for CONE graduates.The FE Civil Exam, administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering andSurveying (NCEES), is structured around 14 topics, including Mathematics, Fluid Mechanics,Structural Analysis, and Environmental Engineering.

. Without the use of mockups, it canbe challenging to convey how various parts of a structure come together. This challenge isparticularly evident in educational settings, where students may struggle to visualize buildingsand their components in three dimensions, a crucial skill for their future careers. To bridge thisgap, educational tools like physical and virtual mockups are invaluable, helping students betterunderstand both individual material components and how those components are assembled.However, these tools are not without their own set of challenges, such as cost, space, andcomplexity. In an effort to overcome these obstacles, our team developed a mobile wall mockup(MWM) specifically designed to serve as a hands-on learning tool in
