. Muhsin Menekse, she researches how reflection on learning activities can support engineering students in engaging in their class and improving their learning achievement.Alfa Satya Putra, Purdue University at West Lafayette (COE) Alfa Satya Putra is a 3rd year PhD student at School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. He has Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Purdue University. Before joining the PhD program, Alfa has served as a lecturer in Indonesia. Alfa is mainly interested in investigating the implementation of reflective activities in large classrooms and assessing how reflective activities affect student learning and academic performance.Dr. Muhsin Menekse, Purdue

has been given to the unique experiences and challenges of nontraditional students inonline and evening programs. This study seeks to fill this gap by providing insights into theirexpectations, perceptions, and learning outcomes.MethodologyA qualitative, focus group-based study explored students' perceptions of physics courses in anevening and online engineering program. This approach was selected because it generates rich,dynamic, and collaborative discussions, allowing participants to reflect and build on theirexperiences [6] collectively.ParticipantsThe study included seven students enrolled in an engineering program at a private university inChile. The participants were divided into two focus groups: one composed of four students andthe

practice, 2) reflection on personal experience, 3) engagement with virtuousexemplars, 4) dialogue that increases virtue literacy, 5) awareness of situational variablesaffecting the exercise of a virtue, 6) moral reminders, and 7) friendships of mutualaccountability. The mock-journal allows students to step into the role of scientist and practicewhat it means to do science. In the process, this practice is supported by course structures andactivities which reinforce this practice by means of the other six principles.The remainder of this paper will be organized as follows. In the first section, I will introduce thecourse structure in terms of the major outcomes, activities, and how the mock-journal isstructured into the course. In the following

to improve the course (n = 22 responses)Figure 4. Categories of analyses of data collected from students and instructors via onlinesurveys.Software Installation and Learning CurveThe survey revealed varying perceptions of the Tracker software's usability. Most students(79%) reported that installing the Tracker© software was straightforward. This reflects theirdigital proficiency and familiarity with technology, an advantage of engaging a generation ofdigital natives. However, the learning curve presented a notable challenge, as nearly half (48%)of the students found mastering the software time-consuming. This suggests that while thesoftware is accessible and easy to install, a lack of structured onboarding materials may impedeefficient

persistence are key drivers of success, asstudents who believe in their abilities are more likely to tackle complex problems with resilience.This is particularly relevant in spatial reasoning, where tasks such as mental rotation and objectmanipulation require sustained cognitive effort. Students with strong work ethics and enjoymentof physics problem-solving outperform their peers, as intrinsic motivation enhances cognitiveresource allocation and perseverance [10], [11]. Intrinsic motivation, fostered by positive attitudestoward physics, directly supports the development of spatial abilities. Enjoyment in solvingphysics problems reflects an alignment of interest and capability, which facilitates deeperengagement with abstract and spatially demanding

limitations are temporary or permanent. This evolution from basicprosthetics to advanced robotic systems reflects the ongoing improvement in assistive technologiesand their potential to enhance the lives of people with disabilities. By merging the capabilities ofprosthetics and robotics, we envision a future where individuals with severe mobility challenges,including those with degenerative diseases like MS and dysautonomia, can regain independenceand autonomy.Our system targets individuals who retain partial arm and hand mobility but experience significantdifficulty moving independently [5]. This innovation in assistive technology aims to provide asolution for people who face both physical and cognitive challenges in everyday life, offeringpractical

the sample reflect the contributions of computer science and engineering to the development of QISE courses and programs. • Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) play a crucial role in advancing educational opportunities for historically marginalized populations, aligning with the goals of fostering diversity in QISE. Additionally, three legislative initiatives motivating this work—the National Quantum Initiative Act (NQI), the CHIPS Act, and the National Science and Technology Policy (NSP)—all emphasize the need for increased diversity in QISE [1, 3, 2].All of the institutions included in this study account for 98% of engineering bachelors degreesawarded in the most recent year for which Integrated Postsecondary

theelastic constant. A stress versus deformation graph will also be obtained, so that the elastic constantcan be related to the modulus of elasticity, both properties associated with the stiffness of thematerial. As comparison, the elastic constant will be determined using weights, as is usually donein Physics laboratories. The script asks the group to reflect on the elastic constant of differenteveryday objects and encourages exploration of introductory concepts of Materials Science andEngineering.Project 3 – Conveyor belts and robotic arms at the Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory (Figure6c): a simulated assembly line represents an opportunity to study kinematics and static equilibrium.Treating the roller conveyor belt as a frictionless inclined
