Thiswas initially Rose’s plan: she had hoped to study at a different university (which shedescribed as her “dream university”), but had been told that she would need to complete afoundation year first, which her dream university did not offer.

additions that we plan to test out in the next implementation are requiringthe students to write a proposal for their learning activity or aid with clear final deliverable goalsat the beginning of the term and then do an in-class presentation or demonstration of theirlearning activity or aid at the end of the term. The proposal could be graded in a way thatprovides students feedback on whether they need to expand or reduce their scope and how to doso while setting clear benchmarks to meet by the middle and end of the term. The presentationcan provide another point of assessment while also providing an additional incentive for thestudents to produce something they are proud to present to their peers.

Instructors should carefully assess the use of suitable Nearpod features for their course and how often students will use Nearpod in the classroom, as excessive use may lead to monotony. • For instance, videos can be uploaded to Nearpod with questions embedded at specific intervals. While this feature may not be ideal for the types of problems I address in Thermodynamics, I plan to use it in a different course to encourage students to watch the entire video. 2.

This is a promising sentiment,so we propose that a longitudinal study of students after they leave the course will contribute toour understanding of the longevity of any positive outcomes. Students may engage withtechnology differently after taking the course and identifying these attitudes will be informative.We plan to expand our study by following up with students in interviews focused onunderstanding how, if at all, they are applying the knowledge and skills developed in this courseover the

Internships have also been shown to impact student goals and future career plans [8],[10]. Internships also significantly impact the development of engineering identity [11].

offers a way of providing electricalenergy without the risk of combusting hydrogen, all while producing only clean water andoxygen as its exhaust.While hydrogen fuel cells offer many advantages, they are by no means the perfect energysource. First, the logistics of hydrogen become problematic. Hydrogen is difficult to produce andtransport on a large scale, introducing high costs that pose barriers to its regular use. Secondly,while hydrogen for fuel cell applications no longer purposefully combusts, it still must be storedin a safe way to prevent accidental explosions. Such a dilemma means that the safety systemsbehind fuel cells and their supply reservoirs require significant planning and resources. Finally,the performance of hydrogen has its
