First it increases the assessment pool to provide more statisticalreliability. The target assessments are easily trackable due to a well-maintained archive ofexaminations for comparisons of different courses laterally, and/or testing retention of the sameconcept longitudinally over time. The examples below show some reinforced results from ESCCarchives. The examples demonstrate tracking of vectors and coordinates with relevance tomechanics courses which will lead to

The data shown in this paper demonstrate that computingand engineering have made considerable progress in becoming more gender diverse, even if theprogress has not always been on a consistent trend for computing. In contrast, several importantand large disciplinary areas are on course to continue becoming less gender diverse, as theybecome increasingly tilted towards more women receiving degrees. Ready arguments to expressstrong concern for reducing male dominance of computing and engineering can be made alignedwith the high demand and projected continued high demand for STEM degrees and competitivelevels of compensation.

Yilmaz andTunçalp state that: “Practical experience is of prime importance in effective learning, particularlyin engineering and science disciplines.” [11], but Kim and Tranquillo [12] point out thateducation is not complete with experience alone, and must also include a way to process thatexperience. This role is traditionally fulfilled by the instructor, but could also be filled by otherstudents in a cooperative environment. Riofrio and Northrup [13] found that collaboration amongthe students when working on mechatronics based projects increased their comprehension andretention of the material.The contribution of this work is to extend the THK paradigm by designing a kit to be usedexplicitly with MBD.

Another positive shift is theinclusion of language on codes and standards in the preamble.
