Remix is defined as happening when prior writing knowledge is shown to be successfullyadapted and integrated from one writing context into a new writing context; assemblage occurswhen students' transfer of previous writing knowledge into a new writing context is uneven;Critical incident occurs when prior knowledge is over-relied upon and inappropriately applied toa new writing context.Table 1.

calculating gradesmade them more difficult to understand, not easier. For example, if a student receives one4, two 3's, and one 2 on a four-standard assignment, the average grade is 3, which is a B.However, the percent grade is 4+3+3+2=12, then 12/16=0.75, resulting in a C grade.

In the event the rocket housing experiences astructural failure during operation and a fragment or fragments are released, the containment shield isdesigned to contain the fragment(s), reducing the risk of damage or injury. The containment shield inplace on the test stand is illustrated above in Figure 4.A fundamental safety feature, inherent to the design, is that the rocket motor thrusts downward duringoperation. This is to ensure that if it were to become uncoupled from the test stand, the

. Architectural toolsdeveloped for digital engineering and model-based systems engineering offer a structuredapproach for introducing systems thinking skills and training the future workforce forcompetency in digital transformation. Given the complex interdisciplinary nature of these topics,we propose a modular approach for introducing these skills in engineering courses using UAFand SysML platforms. The modules are designed to introduce and reinforce systems thinkingusing scenarios and systems that students are familiar with in their day-to-day lives. They aredesigned to be scalable across different courses and help build a foundation that can be applied tocourse-specific projects.References[1] N. Hutchison and H. Y. S.
