of people with very strong physics backgrounds; and people in my discipline sort of have physics-envy, and they all ideally would like to be theoretical physicists. And so there’s a pecking order as there is in many disciplines with you know – people who are more physically based at the top and everybody else is down here. And so I’ve actually spent a lot of my career as somebody that’s not particularly good at the physics end of things either wishing I Page 23.89.13 was better or trying to justify my own existence to people who are better at that sort of thing.

Exit Surveys: The goal of the survey is to determine the impact of hands-on learning asstudents reflect on their academic experiences. Student input also reveals the expected value ofthese experiences in their professional careers as they have, typically, completed their job searchand have an understanding of the knowledge and skill sets that will employ in the near future.4.0 ComparisonThe three models of implementation of the hands-on activities can be compared against severalcriteria as shown in the table below. The model described in Section 2.1, Small In-ClassActivities in Lecture-Based Courses, is abbreviated as “Small In-Class Labs.” The modeldescribed in Section 2.2, Student-Owned Equipment in Lab Courses, is abbreviated as“Ubiquitous

Overall, RU students preferred the second casestudy undertaken in the course, the Chick-fil-A case study. Reasons given for liking it includedthese:  Because it had the three different computer programs. Each group was assigned one it had to defend.  Because I can see this situation working out in a future career/company situation.One student described the Chick-fil-A case study as “useful” in spite of a few perceiveddrawbacks. Among these, one RU student “[wished] that there had been more material. Fivegroups created some overlap. I wish that each group had its own product to defend.”One challenge several TU
