Moreover, by teaching students to create their own infographics, educatorsare equipping them with essential skills for effective communication and critical thinking in theirfuture professional endeavors.Methodology for Evaluating the Effectiveness of InfographicsEvaluating the impact of infographics on learning outcomes, engagement, and retention involvesadopting a multi-faceted approach that encompasses both quantitative and qualitative metrics: 1. Learning Outcomes: Pre- and post-tests can be utilized to quantitatively measure the knowledge gained before and after the integration of infographics into teaching

sustainability remains more abstract. Tailoring thecurriculum to provide stronger examples and applications for social sustainability might helpaddress this discrepancy. Additionally, demonstrating through specific examples the relationshipbetween the three sustainability aspects, environmental, social, and economic, could also improvestudents’ understanding of how one aspect can quickly impact the other.The significant increase in students' interest in learning more about sustainability principlesindicates that the course was able to engage and inspire curiosity. This outcome is favorable, as itindicates that students are motivated to pursue further education or explore sustainability topics,which may translate into lifelong learning. This finding

due to a gap in skills such as communication and problem-solving [1]. Newlygraduated and employed engineers must be ready to engage in workplace learning as self-directed learners. This preparation must come from engineering learning experiences designed tohelp students transition from instructor-led learning (as is typical of pedagogy) to more self-directed learning (as is typical of adult learning or andragogy) across the curriculum [2].However, there is much fixation on pedagogical approaches and engineering science learning,wherein students work to solve predominately close-ended problems [3].

The researchliterature on the types and efficacy of scaffolding in the context of teaching and learning isextensive. Although there are numerous examples of scaffolding in large scale assessment, thereis relatively little research related to the impact of scaffolding in this context. With the need tocreate large-scale assessments aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards, which requiresassessing the integration of science and engineering core ideas with practices, knowledge aboutthe impact of scaffolding in assessment tasks on the measurement of students’ knowledge

However, nearlyall measures of student achievement are focused on content knowledge, process ability (e.g.design), or communication skills; students are assumed to be developing intellectually, especiallyin their ability to think critically, but rarely are meaningful data collected and reported whichsupport such an assumption. However, the recent movement towards outcomes assessm ent nowrequires reliable measures of students’ abilities to make reasoned decisions as they solvecomplex problems. For example, in the U.
