A number of studies have been done onhow to improve effectiveness of corporative learning or teamwork in engineeringclassrooms. With no surprise, successful teamwork with proper team functionality Page 13.1221.2depends on strong, uniform interaction among the students [6]. Often, team formation isvery critical on team building and team member interactions [7].A team is “a small group of people who are committed to a common purpose,performance goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutuallyaccountable.”[7

feedback by participants who hold higher levels of authority, such as managers in industry or faculty members in academia. A healthy balance of ever-improving competence and justifiable confidence of the engineers can be developed by engineering educators as they engage students in the review of their design projects, and maintained by effective engineering leaders in industry as they run the design reviews of their companies. However, if engineering professors provide only severe criticism of students’ design projects, they risk destruction of the students’ self-confidence. If they only encourage without feedback on a concepts shortcomings, then a false sense of self- confidence without mastery may result. Conversely, if

While these tools hold potential to enhance learning,they also pose significant challenges to academic integrity and the validity of traditional assessments.This study explores the redesign of assessments to address these challenges, focusing on scaffolded,multimodal, and real-time formats. Drawing from a graduate-level course in Machine Learning, theresearch examines student perceptions of traditional and redesigned assessments, their engagementlevels, and the role of GenAI. A mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data,was employed to analyze feedback from 12 students as a preliminary study.
