abilityto communicate effectively.Implementation DetailsThrough the semester-long conference research paper activity students experience writing anabstract, multiple paper drafts, a peer review, and the publication of a final camera ready paper inthe printed and bound class conference proceedings. In addition, the students present theirresearch papers orally at a class conference held at the end of the term. The paper writingactivity takes the place of a standard final exam and consequently is worth 200 points or theequivalent of about 20 percent of the students’ overall course grades. During each phase of thepaper writing process, students begin to earn points towards their overall conference paper grade.American University uses the Blackboard web

.  Indeed they found that the highest peer evaluation scores could be predicted by evidence in the design notebooks of content, continuity and duration of student participation.   In this vein we sought to use engineering notebooks as a means of: (1) fostering practices critical to both project­based learning and engineering design including inquiry, reflection and redesign, (2) emphasizing and making evident physics concepts of motion, forces and energy that are important in the design of an engineering artifact, and (3) promoting teamwork and identifying participation throughout a design process. Study Framework The work was conducted collaboratively by an engineering faculty member at California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo and a

. Students became more effective communicating their ideas and learning how tocollaborate with peers. This was evident during the big-circle discussion; as time advanced,students’ questions were more elaborated and showed a deeper understanding, theircommunication became more organized and structured, and their models were more robust(more coherent representations) towards the end of the semester.Students’ appreciation of the course could also be counted as a positive result.Students’ opinions regarding the integrated courseThe research group was interested on knowing students’ opinion about their experience duringthe integrated Physics and Mathematics course. To that end, a Google Survey was implementedand sent to all the students who had taken the
