alleviate academic integrity cases in online assessments. [5], [8]An advantage of online assessments is that they are relatively simpler to implement in amultiple-attempt format without cutting down class lecture time. Multiple-attempt onlineassessments, if implemented carefully with rigorous test banks, can enhance the benefits of bothtest-taking and effective feedback.[9] Student learning elevates as they are provided withopportunities for self-improvement based on timely feedback from previous attempts. Thisserves as the motivation for our current study, where multi-attempt online assessments areimplemented in two high-enrollment engineering courses in Statics and Dynamics at the authors’institution.

Recent technology hasallowed simulations to become more graphical and somewhat easier to interpret. Creatingcustom animations that abstract functionality can significantly increase the student’scomprehension of new material and reduce the cognitive load on the student.

Our project regularly convenes faculty teaching an array offoundational courses for engineering (e.g,. mathematics, chemistry, mechanics, and physics) anduses insights from these meetings and individual interviews to identify possible leverage pointswhere our project or the institution more broadly might affect change. Parallel to this effort, wehave been working with data stewards on campus to gain access to institutional data (e.g.,student course and grade histories, student evaluations of faculty teaching) to link and provideaggregate de-identified results to faculty to feed more information in to their decision-making.

to be highly effective in teaching. These tools not only help teachers stay organized butalso improve students’ learning experiences. Visual aids clarify complex information and helpmaintain student’s attention.Traditional notetaking, where students copied what teachers wrote on the board while addingtheir own notes, has successfully been replaced by slide show presentations. Over the past fewdecades, slide shows such as PowerPoint presentations, have been used to structure lectures,allowing students to write less and focus more on the content. This approach also enablesteachers to concentrate more on their teaching, adding notes as they go through the slides, andincorporate additional strategies such as discussions and group work. These
