One of ABET’s required student outcomes is that graduates are ableto “understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, andsocietal context” (p.3).5Engineering colleges take varied approaches in helping to promote students’ global readinessskills.

Analyzing their pre and post-activity definitions and student reflections on theactivity allows us to explore the impact of the exercise on the students’ understanding of andengagement with the concept of “engineering design.”1.

Oral exams allow for real-time feedback and probing toprovide for a more authentic assessment of students’ conceptual knowledge. Preparation for oralexams also can improve communication skills. However, oral exams are not commonly used inundergraduate engineering courses in the U.S. [10, 33]. One reason for the hesitancy of faculty tointroduce oral exams in undergraduate courses is the workload associated with administeringthese exams, and the lack of certainty of the benefits that the exams would provide even if thecapacity to administer them is available. Another source of hesitancy is uncertainty about howoral exams
