The preliminary data obtained in this study from the first round of PBHimplementation is encouraging considering these experiments were devised and completed bythe students using simple objects and items while in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Theauthors will continue their efforts in improving the PBH implementation process in future studiesthrough the above mentioned measures to enhance student learning and student success rates inthe Dynamics course.References[1] S.

Two raterswere involved in the analysis. These two raters analyzed 4 of the proposal documents togetherand discussed and confirmed indicators of demonstration of the behavioral outcomes. After that,the two raters analyzed the remaining 50 proposal documents independently. The results werethen compared and discussed until agreement was reached for any discrepancies that arose fromthe independent analyses.

The number of videos viewed per student after week 8 in spring 2020 (switch to online)showed a slight increase (3.7) relative to the fall 2019 views per student (3.5) after week 8. Thissuggests that the utility of the GenZ video titles can be suitable in a completely online course.The instructor(s) provided multiple pieces of feedback to support these data. Each topic wasdesigned to have theory video(s) coupled with at least one practice video as a complete set forstudents. Students were encouraged to watch the appropriate videos before class to promote in-class discussion (a very slight shift towards a more flipped classroom).

In thespring of 2021 at Penn State Behrend, one recitation section was offered and had 7 participants.More sections will need to be opened to increase availability to students with conflictingschedules because students cite scheduling conflicts as the main factor for skipping or notregistering for recitation courses [13], [14].

Allowing studentssome ability to shape their learning experience enables them to advance their personal skill setand interests in new and constructive ways. Pedagogically, the mini-projects aim to movestudents from a simple to a complex level of understanding; for example, moving beyond simplygrasping how a tool is employed to understanding its purpose, the need(s) it addresses, and theexpectations surrounding its use. In short, students learn how to think about tools and operationsthat are viable, feasible, and desirable. Adding opportunities for flexibility in pursuing some oftheir own interests can further

There wassignificant consensus on the need for skills related to validation, acknowledging uncertainty inthe interpretation of simulation predictions, and developing intuition and being critical of results.Developing a healthy doubt of computer-generated results in students is an issue that others haveaddressed [5], [6].

Students quantitatively explored the dependence of the specific internal energy (u), specific enthalpy (h), and specific entropy on temperature and pressure in the superheated vapor region. Graphs were generated showing the dependence of u, h, and s on temperature or on pressure. (an example of the student generated graphs is shown in figure 3 below)5.
