Research shows that these methods improvestudent learning outcomes, particularly in STEM fields, by fostering deeper understanding andretention [6]. In engineering, active learning is widely used in foundational courses such as staticsand dynamics, where it often includes physical demonstrations, projects of various forms, andflipped classrooms [7]. Consequently, the adoption of active learning strategies has grownsignificantly within mechanical engineering education. This growing complexity underscores theneed for reliable, low-cost tools to assess the impact of these pedagogies in mechanical engineeringeducation.Despite its benefits, many studies assessing

Difficulties with theimplementation of this program, and the need for a more defined research purpose, led to a shiftin the scope of the project. The sketch recognition program was replaced with a more traditionalexam-format presentation, allowing increased focus on the unconventional content of theproblems. The research presented here represents a smaller, more focused step towardsunderstanding teaching methods in engineering.The AERO 201 course at Texas A&M, which focuses on basic aerodynamics and some vectoroperations, was selected for use in this study

These views have prevented widespreadadoption of K-12 engineering curricula in the United States [4].
