. Page 26.127.4BadgingBadging, or microcredentialing, is a process by which students can be evaluated on skills and knowledgeat a more granular level than a whole course. In our current educational model, when an employerreviews the transcript of a student who received a B in a class, that employer cannot distinguish whetherthat student did everything in the course pretty well, or is particularly good at some skills yet unable tocomplete other tasks12. The concept with badges, and why there is increasing interest in the potential usein education, is the ability to measure particular skills that are encompassed in a class.Moreover, badging also works to incentivize students.

The author plans to continue to use some variation on the musical bridge project forfuture solid mechanics courses. Questions, however, remain: did students find the musical aspectof the project more engaging or would another type of interdisciplinary project be just asengaging? Did the musical bridge project result is improved learning? Were students morecreative? Did their critical thinking skills improve? Future projects will attempt to explore thesequestions and more.ReferencesBarnard, S., Hassan, T., Bagilhole, B., Dainty. A. (2012
