measures the degreeto which a lesson integrates technology and helps students reach the learning goal(s). Theframework is based on three main components: (1) Engagement in learning goals (2)Enhancement of learning goals, and (3) Extension of learning goals. The key concept of thisframework which is relevant to this study is its emphasis on the importance of the instructionalstrategy, which goes hand-in-hand with the use of any technology for learning.In this project, the Triple E Evaluation framework will be utilized as a lens to assess whether thetechnology choices made for teaching and learning leads to student engagement in learninggoals, enhancement of learning goals, and whether technology use helps the learners extend theiracademic learning

efforts to transform teaching in highly enrolled gateway courses. While the benefitsof evidence-based teaching practices for student learning, engagement, and persistence are welldocumented (Freeman et al., 2014), adoption of such practices in STEM courses is slow (Stains,et al., 2018). This paper documents departmental efforts to overcome the slow adoption of activelearning. In doing so, it describes an investigation of how physics faculty perceive the purposeand value of active learning, specifically adopting a student-centered tutorial model forrecitations.This study is part of a larger project that uses department-based communities of transformationto effect change in the teaching of gateway courses and to develop a departmental

Research reveals, however, thatstudents struggle with understanding structural behavior in the three-dimensional context becauseof the shortcomings of representations used for visualization in traditional textbook andlecture-oriented instruction. This research project aims to leverage mobile augmented reality(AR) as a tool to aid students with visualization of structural components and systems subjectedto varying loading and boundary constraints.
