be noted that instructorsoften denote several outcomes as “required” for successful completion of the course, for examplein prerequisite courses. The instructor maintains as much control as is needed to ensure largerlearning goals are met, but within that, students can choose the learning level they wish to attain.This Author’s Experience: Motivation for Change.The author first learned about specs grading at the 2019 ASEE Annual Conference, whenmeeting with a former colleague who presented his work in that area [5]. The initial appeal wasthat it linked a course more firmly to student learning outcomes, which not only helped withprogram assessment but also reduced the scoring for partial credit that I found distasteful.

Thispaper focuses on the first (i.e. ‘Transition In’) and the second transitions (i.e. ‘TransitionThrough’). The purpose of this paper is to offer a programme evaluation of these twotransitions in order to assess whether the

be difficult to prove, we assert that the majority of feminism’spresence in Engineering Education is not well-aligned with intersectional feminism or Blackfeminism. This notion is supported by the finding that of papers in the American Society forEngineering Education’s (ASEE) repository between 2011 and 2020 that mention the work“intersectionality”, only four of the Black feminist theorists foundational to the establishment ofthe term are mentioned [19]. Moreover, in an analysis of papers in three major EngineeringEducation journals across 14 years, Beddoes and Borrego [12] identified eighty-eight articlesthat mention feminist theory and assessed the articles within five branches of feminist theory.The authors found that a majority fell

made its initial appearance in education when scholars expressed doubt about the 1956Brown vs. Board of Education ruling (Ladson-Billings & Tate, 1995). Derrick Bell believed theruling pushed an agenda that benefited white elites of the country rather than the educationalwell-being of Black people, a phenomenon Bell (1980; 1995) referred to as interest convergence. In much the same way, traditional citation practices and the manuscript review processbenefit established scholars often with privileged identities (Mott & Cockyane, 2018).

good chances for several of them to be further extended into seniorprojects. Students that are taking this course in parallel with the actual senior project course, andwho have already selected a capstone project topic, may still choose to identify thecommunication aspects of their senior project and make that portion of their senior project thefocus of the course project. This is also a very good option, for the two projects to complementeach other, because the student can use the learning and feedback from this course to enhance theongoing senior project.The wireless communications course was offered in the new format in fall 2019 and fall 2020.First offering was more of a pilot course and a small group of students took the course, only

First, there isa significant burden on faculty mentors who, along with designing a research project, are typicallyindividually advising students, training them in reading and writing about research, and critiquingposters and presentations. These are skills which could be
