A casting operations metric was presented, with measures including time-on-taskanalysis.

One of thefundamental problems associated with the manufacturing process is how fast the thermoelectricnanoparticles move into the titanium dioxide nanotubes under the electric force. The results were usedto examine the effect of the manufacturing parameters on the production rate and the uniformity of thecomposite materials made in the casting process.

acrossindividual faculty based on the type of assessment practices they choose to adopt in their courses.In addition to traditional formative and summative assessments, prior literature has identifiedother forms of assessment including standards-based, competency-based, mastery-based, andadaptive [1]. More recently, the practice of ungrading has become more prominent in thehumanities and social sciences and is slowly being adopted by engineering education. In coursesthat utilize ungrading, students are required to develop a portfolio of writing intensive or othertypes of projects in lieu of traditional assignments [2]. Students are expected to submit their workfor review, obtain feedback from the instructor, and implement that feedback over the course
