Thornburgh, aPittsburgh native, received his law degree from the University of Pittsburgh and the Universityhouses his archives documenting his many years in public office. The purpose of the grant is toencourage utilization of the archival materials through incorporation into new or existing coursesand to encourage student research in the collection and develop student recognition in the valueof using primary source materials.1Review of projects supported by past grants showed the variety of topics studied, including thoserelated to civil engineering.

In past years, students applied the framework through analysis and evaluationof an engineering related article and were encouraged to use the framework in development ofreports for a separate design project.2-4 However, student feedback indicated that the frameworkwas still not well-understood or utilized. Additionally, difficulties were encountered assessingwhether students’ critical thinking abilities actually improved after instruction and courseactivities. In Fall 2014, faculty sought to enhance and expand critical thinking instruction in thecourse by providing students with more meaningful

The goal of this project was to develop three sets of videos: (1) reviews of fundamentalbiology concepts, (2) demonstrations of biological experiments, and (3) safety and basic skillstraining videos for students in lab classes. Each video was strategically designed to enhancestudent learning in lecture and/or lab-based courses by allowing students to review basicconcepts and experimental protocols before class, thereby providing more time in class to discussadvanced concepts or perform experiments (see Figure 1). In addition, some of the experimentalvideos were also designed to enhance lecture-based classes by including

We have developed open-sourced interactive browser-based simulations that modelrealistic core engineering systems. Our simulations use JavaScript and HTML-5 to insure that thecode is platform-agnostic and functional on all devices with a modern browser, avoiding some ofthe dissemination hurdles with educational Java applets or mobile apps. For each use of thesimulations, we track student mouse movements and clicks, keyboard events, event times,screencast use, correlation with hands-on design project success, and more, leading to a largedatabase that may be mined for pedagogical insights. We have had remarkable success using these simulations while coupling them tocollaborative, open-ended, hands-on design projects within the setting of
