Engineering laboratories in which students follow detailedprocedures without deviation are unlikely to impart the ability to design and conductexperiments because the students never experience designing experiments and are being ledby prescriptive instructions rather than by a protocol they established on their own.

Some engineering solutions require that students creatediagrams/graphs that are the solution being submitted. Many learning management systems(LMS) are not able to provide automated try-again feedback on these types of solutions andtherefore the effectiveness of try-again feedback is minimized for graphical solutions. Graphicaluser interfaces (GUIs) are interfaces where a computer allows a student to interact with graphicscontrolled by the user through underlying code. GUIs can be programmed in many computerlanguages. This work uses Matlab GUIs to present students with shear and moment diagramproblems that are interactive with the graphical solutions. A
