At each match-up, points are awarded based on the performance on solvingan assigned problem and explaining that to the rest of the students. A “Q and A” session followseach presentation for additional points. Certain measures are discussed to improve the process ofassigning members for teams and contribution of every member to the overall results.The rules are thoroughly explained and the motivations behind them are discussed.

For each group of questions, we investigated the significanceof mean difference between EECS and ME, between UG and Grad, and between MEundergraduate students (MEUG) and ME graduate students (MEG) by applying MANOVAusing the Wilk’s Lambda test. Although MANOVA requires that the samples are normallydistributed and with similar variances and covariances, violating these conditions does not causemuch harm [13,14].The null hypothesis for question group Q = {q0, q1, …, qn}, where the qi’s are questions, betweentwo student

Visualization Test. After completing the mental rotations test, students usedthe 3D Estimator to estimate the volume of six shapes, as in Study 1. In this study, each estimatethat a student entered was recorded and stored in the database.Analysis and Results The first research question was: Do measurement estimations of one-dimensional aspectsand computational estimations of three-dimensional volume represent distinct, separableknowledge components (KCs)? Determining distinct KCs for the 3D Estimator task requires theuse of a learning factors analysis (LFA) and the iterative process of determining q-matricesdescribed by 4. The analysis shows whether a smooth learning curve exists for a given KC.Smooth curves mean that the entire set of

over the chip. The camera plugs into the USB portof a PC and produces videos (30 frames/s) of fluid flow. The magnification ranges from 10X to500X. Other camera types and set-ups are of course workable as well, including higher-endconsumer CCD cameras. The quantification of flow rate can be made adding a graduated scale inthe image, such as with a thin plastic ruler placed along the flow channel which shows theposition of the flow front in each frame along with the time for that frame. From this analysis,the flow velocity can be accurately determined as a function of time. A common analysisobjective is to determine the pressure drop ∆𝑃 between two points as a function of flow rate Q orfluid velocity v. ∆𝑃 = 𝑓

students naturally use three-dimensionalreasoning as a technique for problem solving. When dyslexic students encounter a problemsolving situation, they naturally change their three-dimensional perspective and examine theproblem from various angles without shifting their observation point. Many dyslexic studentsspin an object mentally without needing to alter how they are viewing that object. This skill ofshifting perspectives is useful and effective in physical science; however, in two-dimensionallanguage, changing a three dimensional perspective can result in a “b” looking like a “d”, “p” or“q”, depending on the angle at which the object is viewed. It is possible that the reasoning skillthat results in language challenges for the dyslexic student
