In the first half of the semester the labora-tories focus on modeling physical components. The models can then be used to predict theresponses of systems to given inputs. As the semester progresses the labs transition to usingindustrial motor controllers to reinforce the value of the course material.

mechanical design may see thecourse as a burden that must be endured rather than an opportunity to learn the fundamentalprinciples of energy. Other courses, such as courses in Electrical circuits, Statics, and Dynamicswill garner such reaction from various sets of students as well. Therefore, it may be necessaryfor instructors in such courses to find methods that force students to keep up with the coursematerial, rather than allowing students to put off studying the material until a test is imminent.One technique that has been proposed and used as a means to keep students more involved witha course is the use of frequent quizzes in a course3-8.

The present work focuses on two fundamental areas of engineering:engineering mechanics (statics, strength of materials, and dynamics), and electric circuits, whichare complementary to thermal and transport science. Thus the study was designed with the hopethat commonalities might be found among difficult concepts in chemical engineering,mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. Indeed, our results suggest thatcommonalities do exist at a very fundamental level.The paper is organized into three sections. The first two sections

, the primary hypothesis can be stated as follows:higher frequencies of assessment lead to improved long-term retention of course content. Thishypothesis is investigated by implementing a different assessment frequency in two sections ofthe same course. In one section, students are given two midterms spaced roughly four weeksapart, while in the second section, students are given a twenty-five minute quiz roughly everytwo weeks. The students’ long-term retention is then measured by their performance on the finalexam, which is common to both sections.
