in an Engineering ClassroomIntroductionThis research paper describes a study that examines a testing effect intervention deployed in anengineering classroom setting. The testing effect is based on the premise that learning isimproved when students engage with newly acquired information by challenging themselves toanswer questions about the content instead of using other means of interacting with the content,such as rereading a text. The testing effect has been established in laboratory research studies[1]. To translate this finding into educational practice, classroom research studies [2]-[6] aim todefine the conditions for which the testing effect remains robust in authentic classroom settings.In the classroom domain, a testing effect
