Here, we envision a teaching exercisewhere teams of students follow a mock ASTM Consensus Standard to test a set mechanicalproperty (e.g. peel strength). Mechanical properties are useful to nearly every engineeringdomain. Unknown to students at the start of the exercise, each test setup will accommodatedifferent “adulterations” leading to different results (Appendix Figure 1). This method isintended to outline the potential limitations associated with following a consensus standard orprotocol. The goal for the students is precise execution of the mock standard and identification ofassociated

of knowledge, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) emphasizes the need to assess other competencies such as teamwork andcommunication to ensure comprehensive student learning [8].Despite their potential benefits, group exams have presented challenges, such as unequalparticipation and difficulty in evaluating individual contributions [4]. These limitations haveencouraged ongoing research into the optimal assessment formats for engineering students[9,10]. Appropriately, this work-in-progress study contributes to this ongoing discourse byinvestigating the impact of individual versus group exams in a junior-level biomedicalengineering mechanics course at a large R1 university.

A previously described pre-/post-course concept inventory [12] isadministered to assess learning gain during the semester. The concept inventory is a ten-questionmultiple choice quiz administered through a web-based audience response system.

One suchstudy effectively incorporated finite element analysis (FEA) into a design project in anintroductory biomechanics course.[4]In developing my own new Biomechanics course, I aimed to incorporate multiple learningmodalities for interacting with the course material which incorporated hands-on labs, exposure toscientific literature and inquiry-based projects.

The scope of AI in the education sector goesbeyond the understanding of AI and has seen increased applications in many areas of teaching[7]. It includes embedded systems like robots that enhance learning experiences, as seen in earlychildhood education [8].
