The four i-Newton demonstrations included in this study were designed to reveal multiple DCI concepts.We also hypothesized that the i-Newton demonstrations would increase students’ self efficacy,defined as a person’s beliefs of how well they can complete and execute a plan or goal11, 12.Instilling a strong self-efficacy comes from increasing one’s knowledge and positive experiencesassociated with the outcome11, so it is logical to expect that having a stronger understanding ofthe fundamental concepts may improve self efficacy Previous studies have examined self-efficacy in undergraduate students in regards to

Both the student and instructor situations wereacerbated by a nationally recognized economic boom.Even weather became an issue with initial plans to teach the introductory engineering course in ahighbred distance education on-site mix. Several times significant winter storms caused thevisited TCU to be shut down while satellite TCUs were up and running. This was made worseby technological problems with the IVN system and connectivity problems.

To solve thisproblem, usually the students can sign up for a few hours of volunteer work at theconference and get their registration fee waved.
