placement exam. Theminimum qualification for each method of placing into Calculus I is presented in Table 1.The MASC developed the math placement test with the hopes that all students would take theexam to determine their correct beginning math placement. However, MASC could not requireall students to take the exam(s). Therefore, MASC decided to allow students that tested high onthe ACT or SAT math exam to automatically place into Calculus I, and the optional mathplacement exam would allow students to place into higher courses than their ACT/SAT mathsubscores allow. Students were required to take and pass (score ≥80%) a Preparedness forAlgebra Exam (PALG) and Mastery of Algebra Exam (MALG) before they were allowed to takethe Preparedness for

rubric gradingcan be good assessments for students and their work, but other forms of assessment may showevidence for growth. Blogs and other reflections could help assess student progress [20]. As theCEE Department increases its commitment to diversity and inclusion, the faculty will strive todiscover multiple avenues to improve the current curriculum.AcknowledgementThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation underIUSE/PFE:RED Grant No. 1632053 and EEC 1539140.

need to connect classroom or lab learning tothe actual ability needed in the professional world. In Marlor’s [1] project-based course in amechanics & statics curriculum, attention was paid to the necessity of hands-on and intuitivedesign experiences in the early phase of students’ learning development [7]. In Ulseth et al.’s [2]engineering design course, emphasis was given to the creation of student experiences aiming atthe development of skills for effective teamwork. Thomas et al. [3] developed a project-basedundergraduate Computer Engineering curriculum, with an embedded systems concentration.There are other innovations along the line of research on project-based teaching and learning inengineering education, e.g. in Parten’s research

choice questions, wereavoided. The main intention was to entice engineering students to analytically solve engineeringproblems from scratch in a regular, classic way, i.e. by typically partitioning the problem intophases or threads and solving each phase sequentially until reaching the final answer(s). Anadditional motivation for this objective was the desire to offer engineering students the chance togain partial credits if they manage to solve parts of the problem. In Blackboard, one questiontype that appears to suit this multi-thread partitioning is called “Fill in Multiple Blanks” questiontype. However, unlike the “Calculated Numeric” type of questions (also available onBlackboard), the Fill in Multiple Blanks type of questions does not
