It’s about applying the principles of design to the way people work” (p. 1).

Grading criteria, feedbackmechanisms, and incentive structures for low-stakes oral exams also need to be considered andcarefully planned. Finally, because of the likelihood of a lack of familiarity with the oral exammodality, both on the part of the examiner and examinee, student preparation and training isneeded for the instructional team. Our project aims to address these design challenges whilefocusing on scalability for high enrollment classes.

When examining systems, we develop mental models which represent those systems [61]. In a transdisciplinary setting, it is very important for a team to synthesize their individual views of the system into a shared model, which can be accomplished through visual representations [56] [50]. A shared conceptual framework, in the form of a “jargon free visual schematic” is a best practice that allows all transdisciplinary team members to understand and agree on the research plan [29].

This model can be implemented through various types of mentoring mechanisms.

The original research plan entailed collecting one recorded lessonfrom each participant that they identified as reflecting engineering instruction. Due to COVID19, only a small number of participants were able to record their instruction before the academicyear came to premature end in March, 2020.
