into all my messiness, emotionality, and uncertainty thatmade me an amazing engineering researcher.When my heart and soul were ready to write again, I initially started with following thetraditional structures. By now, I had developed more confidence in my paradigm, so I recognizedthat these structured and “masculine styles of writing were marginalising other ways of being”(Weatherall, 2019, p. 105). My writing style and flow had to align with the paradigm of myresearch, so I slowly broke free of the traditional structure and embraced what Pullen and Rhodes(2008) call ‘dirty writing.’ In their description of dirty writing, they emphasize the boundariesand dualisms that structure our thinking and writing (including self/other, script

Furthermore the electrical dynamics can also be studiedand must be considered when attempting to get high performance from the system.In putting the software together for the laboratory the philosophy was to make the software aseasy as possible for the students to use while incorporating common control structures fromindustrial applications. We developed the software in house. This allowed us to developsoftware that incorporated industrial control structures and hardware while providing the abilityto experiment.

These custom homework problems were developed so students can become familiar withthe tone of instructor-written questions and so that expectations on problem complexity is clearlyconveyed. Constructing activities in this manner can enhance student’s feelings of competence[3] which is valuable when they’re preparing for summative assessments. Additionally, theproblems are generally ordered in difficulty from straightforward to more complex to reducelearned helplessness [3, 6], an issue that’s particularly acute because of a typical student’s priorrelationship with homework.

For example, “In the structural engineering field, more firmsare requiring a Master's degree as part of the primary qualifications for each position.Would have trouble finding the perfect job without a Master's.” Faculty and localemployers send a strong message to these students than an MS degree is needed for thosehoping to work in the area of structural design.

Because of this, manyprofessionals must work at home where electricity or internet connectivity issues may be moreprevalent than at their typical office. To address the need for a resilient power source for at-homeoffices, the team developed the atto-grid – a resilient power system that uses distributed powersources to safely and effectively power a typical at-home office load.The team designed the atto-grid for a senior design capstone project that complied withrequirements set by faculty, as well as

The two faculty members shared the exam grading load among the sections to ensureimpartiality. Exam performances were statistically analyzed and compared between sections.Additionally, end-of-semester surveys were administered to evaluate how the students engaged withthe professor, their peers, and themselves within the context of the course and the instructionalmethods.For sections 1 and 2 taught by professor A, a reflective learning approach was used for weeklyassessments. Reflective learning is a method that enables students to identify the gaps in their ownknowledge and the areas for self-improvement. In these sections

the industry. A study reported that when external judgesand faculty judges both graded the same capstone project, the external judges gave higher grades[16]. Other studies have conflicting reports about whether tenured versus non-tenured facultygraded easier [5], [7], [8]. Additionally, a study showed that bias might occur if grading isextended over a long period and breaks are taken between grading sessions, but the bias is notpredictable nor significant [17]. This is a type of interrater reliability that occurs when a grader isnot consistent in his or her grading over time [18].Knowledge Gap Filled There are many factors that can affect how exams are graded for civil engineeringstudents, especially in design-based courses.
