Abstract: Starting from Semester 2 2011/2012, open-book final examination has been applied to a third year mechanical engineering subjects; Machine Design (MEMB 333). The student, who are enrolled in this subject, are exposed to critical thinking in designing and evaluating the components. In this paper, the performance of 84 students from 3 sections in answering static and fatigue failure theories by having open-book final and close-book mid semester examination will be presented. The study will focus on the influence of distraction under open-book condition and the evaluation on their overall performance. It is understood that students perform poorly, tended to replicate the solution from textbook.
