exam types were introduced tostudents in Fall 2022: closed digital resources and open-resource. Results showed no significantscore increase with open-resource exams. However, a negative correlation emerged betweenscores and digital resource access, especially in the first exam. This correlation weakened insubsequent exams, suggesting changing content influenced resource usage. The findings suggestthat open-resource exams, mirroring real-world scenarios, can alleviate student anxiety andfoster practical learning. The findings encourage a reevaluation of digital examination practices.IntroductionExams are important instrument of student assessment, providing educators with valuableinsights into students' comprehension, retention, and application

Thiscourse is the first in the series of the courses designed specifically for our BS in Data Scienceprogram. We used feedback from this course to learn about the effectiveness of our CBLapproach towards teaching Data Science.According to the Case-based Learning page of the Yale Poorvu Center for Teaching andLearning 6, retrieved July 24th 2020, “Case-based learning (CBL) is an established approach usedacross disciplines where students apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios, promotinghigher levels of cognition.” We use this resource from Yale

It was concluded that a successful laboratory experience requiredan experimental platform that avoided the traditional implementation pitfalls of a circuit-basedlaboratory without becoming a “black box” laboratory that turns students into passive observersrather than active discoverers. In addition, the experimental platform had to be flexible

engineer.Engineering education researchers and practitioners have acknowledged the problem ofdesign education in engineering programs. In the 1990s first-year design courses werewidely introduced in engineering programs in an attempt to introduce students to thenature of their chosen profession earlier in their college careers.5,6 Capstone designcourses at the end of engineering programs likewise represent an opportunity for studentsto take on both design work and a holistic real world project. However, design is notgenerally included as part of the curriculum in core courses in the second and third yearsof study. There is a critique that this bookending approach (with cornerstone courses inthe first year and capstone in the final year) can create a “valley

Significant improvements in vehicles functionality, safety, performance, and comfort weremade in the past decades. As a result, modern automotive electronic systems contain a complexnetwork of electronic control units (ECU), sensors and actuators distributed and embedded inalmost any vehicle.

engineering education has been particularly effective in helpingstudents develop a deeper understanding of complex concepts and real-world applications [1],[11], [12]. For example, in electrical engineering, students can learn how to design andanalyze electronic circuits and gain practical experience working with complex systems andprocesses using virtual labs that mimic oscilloscopes, multimeters, circuits, and errors [13]–[16]. Virtual labs may simulate real-world scenarios in mechanical engineering and allowstudents to design and test mechanical systems, such as engines and machines [17]–[20].

Due to the, typically,complex nature of engineering endeavors, it can be both difficult and cumbersome to providefull-scale, real-world problems for classroom investigation. In typical engineering classrooms,single aspects of larger systems are investigated out of context or with the application ofcomplex assumptions. Isolating one concept at a time is usually necessary for teachingfundamental engineering concepts but risks blinding students to the applicability of what they arelearning to larger, more complex systems4.
