Those of us who teach as part of the engineering curriculumhave recognized for many years that if we do not measure what students are learning then wereally do not know what or how to teach. We believe that by measuring student learning, withvalid and robust instruments, we can adjust the curriculum and pedagogy to increase studentlearning. We should be teaching with research based active-learning activities, assessing whatour students know and address their misunderstandings before they

Therefore, teachers can assess the effectiveness of their teaching methodologies,a vital aspect of their self-assessment.Introduction The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a paradigm shift across education,particularly within STEM fields such as Physics and Engineering. The emergence of generativeAI, large language models, and machine learning provides new and more powerful mechanismsfor individualized and personalized learning. However, to realize the promise of AI in providingpersonalized learning, we must rethink assessment within introductory STEM courses by movingfrom static to adaptive assessments.

For example, the ability tocorrectly visualize three dimensional objects when they are represented in two dimensions, suchas in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software or in a detailed part drawing, is essential forengineers. Not surprisingly, due to self selection, engineering students typically score higher onspatial ability tests than their non-engineering counterparts. Research has shown that the spatialability of engineering students will improve during a semester long CAD based design courseand also that students prefer working with actual physical objects when developing these skillsduring a drafting course. However, whether the integration of an actual physical model with theCAD software can generate even greater improvement in
