, committeesmust comprehensively understand the test and its purpose to make fair and informed decisions. Ashift towards a more holistic approach to admissions can help to create a more equitable andaccessible graduate school application process, but engineering program leaders must considerhow such a shift will affect other aspects of the admissions process, such as the resourcesrequired. An institution cannot suddenly shift to a holistic evaluation approach and expect thesame number of faculty or staff to handle the higher workload effectively.We plan to use the results of this study to design a more comprehensive survey that can capturethe perspectives of a wider breadth of faculty at our institution and other institutions.

, she felt the project was properly planned, and resulted in a textbook that can be extremelyuseful for students. She believes that incorporating student examples gives the students a chanceto develop and solve their own problems, which helps in the learning process. The opportunity tohave their work included in a textbook also incentivizes the students to want to participate and dotheir best work for the submissions. She recognizes that there is a range in the complexity andquality of submitted problems, but they are all useful to convey content. She encourages professorsto incorporate OERs and self-generated problems as it is financially economical for students andbeneficial for their learning.Student Researcher BStudent researcher B

Minimally meeting and not meetingexpectations required changes made or plans to do something different in the future, closing theloop for continuous improvement. The assessment for the selected outcome showed that 83% ofthe students received a grade of 70% or higher; therefore, the outcome was met.Students in the Microfabrication course were challenged with the theory and lab experiences.This hands-on course is not common at the undergraduate level.

It was clear that numerous students were printing, realizing they made amistake, then re-printing. While 3D printing is useful for rapid prototyping, it does not replacerobustness of mechanical design. Moving forward, we felt that this could be addressed byincluding some more direct information on the relative benefits and weakness of additive vs.subtractive manufacturing as well as mandating that certain components be machined insteadof printed.Anecdotally, many students told us that this project was cool and that they were excited towork on it.

The majorgoal of this study is to find a calculus-based solution so that students may comprehend the ideaand use of calculus in a circumstance or problem from real life.

For instance,many students procrastinated and only came for reassessments at the end of the semester,causing long lines outside the office during office hours. This was a heavy burden for theinstructor and left insufficient time for providing individualized feedback, which was the purposeof the office hour reassessments. The unlimited number of attempts did not sufficiently motivatestudents to perform better on their first tries. It also generated an excessive amount of grading.The author needs to reevaluate the number of reassessments allowed and encourage students toreflect and review before

Through this experiment, we have gained insight on how the design process works, how long we can expect our prints to take, and some of the challenges we can expect to confront.Students also comment on self-efficacy, we learned from the 3D printing assignment is that tomake a successful print you have to understand the structural needs of your design and possibleweak points. As we continue offering this course, we will develop new projects and modules to deliverto the students. We also plan to collect and publish more formal assessment data with a
