were not implementing these practices into their projects. To help reinforce basicconcepts and get students to realize that in the real world, more than one person may work on adesign file, it was decided to introduce a LEGO modeling project into the course. This projectrequired the students to model three or four parts of a LEGO® backhoe. The individual fileswere collected by the instructor and redistributed to the students so they could each assemble thecomplete model. If a part did not fit properly into the assembly and needed editing, each studentmade a decision to either fix the part or recreate it if editing was not feasible. The students wererequired to keep track of which parts worked, and which needed editing in order to complete

Engineering Education, 2024 A Model Research Experience for Undergraduate Biology Labs Using MicroalgaeAbstractProblem Based Learning (PBL) or Course-embedded Undergraduate Research Experience(CURE) projects challenge students to problem solve using scientific literature and teamworkwhile investigating solutions to a real problem. Through scaffolding, students learn how toconduct peer-reviewed literature research, formulate research questions, co-design experiments,collaborate in groups, conduct experimental protocols, troubleshoot lab protocols, and reporttheir findings. This paper discusses a PBL/CURE project introduced to Microbiology students atDalton State College in Spring 2023. The project begins by

Unfortunately, this is not realistic. Inthis paper, a number of approaches to student assessment including peer and leader evaluation,ranking systems, etc. are discussed. Based on some of these ideas and the goal of providingstudents with frequent feedback, a new assessment approach for the computer and softwareengineering senior design course at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is presented, whichutilizes rubrics to judge each student’s personal contribution and frequent delivery of theassessment so that students may iteratively improve their
