2012 and 2019 [5].This paper will describe the philosophical and practical questions which arose in adoptingDELTA’s gamification module for use in Engineering Statics at NC State. Each of the questionsbelow could be answered in very different ways in different situations with different instructors;Every solution has pros and cons. This paper states the philosophical questions we agonized overand describes the solutions the team adopted for this version of Statics. Any similar project mayhave different answers to these questions but will likely encounter the need to answer them oneway or the other. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2021 2021 ASEE Annual

prevalent in Physics, as Force Concept Inventories(FCI), [1]–[4] and in Statics [5]–[8]. Not many concept inventories have been created to focus on thetopic of Dynamics. Expanding on the success of the FCI, Gray et al. [9] have created and are fine tuning aDynamics Concept Inventory (DCI) test. The test examines 11 different concepts over a 29-questionmultiple choice exam and since its inception, has been analyzed to have “adequate” reliability [10]. Inaddition, there has also been some work to investigate a shortened version of the same DCI [11]. In this study, the DCI was implemented at the very beginning (pre-course) of two Fall Dynamiccourses (in 2018 and 2019) at a public university and then again at the very end of the same course(post

are three lectures and one laboratory session per week. The classroom follows a blendedformat where the students have to come prepared for the class by watching pre-recorded videosand taking a quiz due before class. It begins with reviewing the quiz followed by interactiveproblem-solving. The entire class works as a single group while the instructor asks specificquestions and triggers guided discussion leading to problem-solving.Towards the goal of improved comprehension and retention, a zero-credit laboratory session isintroduced to this course in Fall 2019 at Angelo State University. The lab session was a “self-assessment problem solving” session where students are challenged with a random problem onthe concepts covered in the past week to
