These findingscontribute to the ongoing discourse on adapting higher education to the challenges and opportunitiespresented by GenAI, ensuring assessments remain relevant and effective in fostering meaningfullearning outcomes.1. IntroductionThe role of assessments in higher education is fundamental to evaluating student learning, fosteringcritical thinking, and preparing learners for real-world challenges. Traditional assessment methods—such as homework essays, and problem sets—have long been regarded as the cornerstone of educationalevaluation. However, as

The National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) has developed a code ofethics for engineers to follow. As part of the code of ethics, NSPE Code of Ethics, afundamental canon is to “hold paramount the safety, health and welfare of the public [2].” Inorder to satisfy or abide by this canon, I propose that engineering students must be civicallyengaged and as such it should be embedded into the engineering curriculum.Civic Engagement in Engineering“Civic Engagement involves working to make a difference in the civic life of one’s communityand developing the

All students completed team contracts and engagedwith their teams effectively to submit assignments. Initial results from graded homeworkproblems indicate that students are confident in their knowledge to complete the problems andin their ability to solve similar problems in the future. Challenges to implementing theseinstructional approaches include timing of class activities, specifically the amount of time thatstudents took to work with the physical models.1.​ IntroductionStatics is one of several sophomore level

Multiple streams of information (lecture, supplementary handouts, slides, reading assignments) are avoided; the handouts are complementary with and integrated into the oral lecture. Discussion of the underlying concepts accompanies the detailed technical content. 2. The handouts are hand-written (on a tablet computer), highly graphic, colorful, and even “cartoonish” in

The first part of a lesson elicits students’ generative engagement around some provocative task or situation (or, perhaps, by discovering its spontaneous emergence). From there, the teacher’s role is to support that engagement and attend to it — watch and listen to the students’ thinking, form a sense of what they are doing, and in this way identify productive beginnings of scientific thinking.” (p. 55)There are several proposed
