. The most straightforward method that comes to mind is to provide thisstudent with the Discussion PowerPoint slides from the start of each lab sequence, givinghim/her ample time to thoroughly review the answers before the discussion portion of theclass. This also allows the instructor to explain how the Discussion answers wereestablished through using internet search engines and to track progress in this way so thestudent can be slowly transitioned from the Discussion PowerPoints to something closerto the Research PowerPoints once he/she better understands the self-discovery process.Due to a lack of survey data for both the old course structure and the new format, noquantitative comparisons can easily be made as to the course improvements

including personal characteristics of test takers, various features ofcomputer-based testing systems, and test content. These researchers believed that once thesevarious factors are controlled, test mode effect can be eliminated.To our knowledge, there have been no test mode studies conducted with engineering students inan engineering course. Additionally, the rapid advance of technology and incorporation intostudents’ lives at earlier ages certainly plays a role in how students may approach a paper-basedversus a computer-based test. With this in mind, it is important to gather up-to-date data onstudents with the described demographic. We believe that analyzing test mode effect with first-year engineering students in an engineering course could

assumptions of faith and divinity, their association with religious traditions raise ahost of issues most educators are not prepared or willing to deal with. A second challenge is thatthese contemplative practices require extensive first-hand experience before an educator is ableor ready to share them with students. This makes the solution not scalable, since it is not realisticto assume that mass numbers of technology and engineering educators will take up and sustainmindfulness meditation practice. Barbezat and Bush (2013) also point out a third and relatedchallenge: That, by nature of their introspective and spiritual nature, contemplative practicesmight raise complex questions about the nature of the mind and self that most educators are

The tremendous success of MOOCs can in part,be attributed to their global availability, enabling anyone in the world to sign up/drop courses atany time during the course offerings. A single course enrollment in MOOCs can range between10,000 to 200,000 students, hereby providing a potentially rich venue for large scale digital data(e.g
