Critical-path courses can create significant obstacles to graduationas a single DFW (grade of D, F, or withdrawal) grade in any course can impede a student'sability to graduate on time. Reducing course fail rates along the critical path significantly reducesthe students’ time to degree.

However, the lack of physical interaction and engagement in online learning canresult in decreased student motivation and performance [1]. Gamification could be a solution tothis issue, by incorporating elements of game design to online learning environments, such asrewards, challenges, points, badges, leaderboards, and feedback [2, 3]. Gamification has becomea popular trend in recent years, and its popularity has spread across various fields such aseducation [3, 4], health [5], employment [6], commerce [7

We conclude with thoughts on how concepts ofengineering leadership could be leveraged to influence culture change that can positivelyinfluence the curricular aspects of engineering programs, as well as within theinstitutional environment. The work in this paper provides a baseline for discussion onhow engineering educators can work to bridge the culture gap that arises from thesystemic cultural tensions.1
