research and hundreds of experiments have demonstrated thatpractice testing enhances learning and retention [5]. Practicing retrieval improves the ability toretrieve it again and promotes meaningful, long-term learning where recall of complex schemasbecomes automated [1], [2], [6]. Practice testing requires a search of long-term memory thatactivates related information which then is encoded along with the retrieved target formingadditional schemas to facilitate later access to that information. Practice facilitates the encoding,enhances how well students mentally organize information, and supports better retention andcriterion test performance [5]. Studies show that students who have been tested between theinitial learning and the final test

The method uses “shock and awe” to help students graspinformation in a dynamic manner and helps them to remember their experience at the university.For recruitment purposes, the shock and awe method helps to explain what engineering is and/orwhy it is needed. When students are shocked and/or awed by a display or presentation, they payattention and actively participate. For example, to recruit mechanical engineering students, auniversity may want to present a demonstration about projectile ballistics. A shocking andawing demonstration can accompany the presentation involving the burning of smokeless gunpowder and black powder. The resulting smoke and flame will shock and awe the

Studies show that students experience less test anxiety and prefer MCQswith options to explain answers further, as opposed to traditional MCQs [13, 19]. In thetwo-tiered approach, each MCQ is paired with an opportunity to justify, allowing a student someroom for explaining their thought process. Tamir found that adding

Whilepreparing to teach thermodynamics and heat transfer, I found striking differences between thetextbook problems and working world engineering problems. I also noticed that the students hadlittle or no exposure to the communication needs of industry and businesses. As noted byS.

Laboratory experiments areuseful in teaching students skills needed for employment, and to reinforce theoretical conceptsintroduced during lectures. However, the students sometimes do not receive timely feedbackbecause it is extremely time-consuming for the instructors to grade the hands-on exercises. Thestudents usually do not have the opportunities to fix the mistakes they made in previous labs dueto lack of timely feedback. These challenges were addressed by the creation of an automatedgrading and feedback system, called BroadReach Extended, for locally designed hands-onexercises in Information Technology (IT) courses.
