Gamification does not necessarily use an actual game, but rather gamedesign elements such as specific rules, reward systems, rapid feedback, and competitive elements[9]. To address the challenges of building course community and instructor-student rapport, acourse Bingo sheet was developed. One impetus of creating the bingo sheet was to help theinstructor learn student names.

The demographics of almost allfour-year engineering programs fail to align with U.S. Census data for women and under-represented minorities.

Both projects featured a final report designed toemphasize different communication skills. The model rocket project required students to submita narrated video presentation that included video of their rocket’s flight, analysis of theirtrajectory, and various images and videos collected during the design and construction phases ofthe project.
