Semi-structured interviews (n=20 total) were conducted at the beginning and end ofthe school year to identify and characterize teachers’ perceptions of engineering design,expectations and reflections of task implementation, and challenges they experienced throughoutthe year. Analysis and interpretation of teacher interviews involved the use of grounded theory.18During this process, members of the research team focused on identifying indicators of conceptsand categories that fit the data.

There is no doubt that online teaching tools are beneficial and that students perceptionsand interactions are positive.[2] Some students, at the moment of the interview, state that theyprefer online homework systems. However, these students are NOT surveyed at a later date andasked to reflect on their freshman learning experiences. Although many studies have investigated the use of online homework systems in math [3],science [4–6], or engineering [3,7–10] courses, few have assessed the ability of a student to present alogical solution during the course.

This instrument allows for themeasurement of Beam and Diffuse irradiance as well as reflected irradiance. A Pyranometer isan instrument that has a 180° field of view so it absorbs all the solar irradiance from itssurroundings and delivers a digital reading that can be logged with a micrologger (not shown).The micrologger used is capable of measuring a change in voltage as low as one microvolt.

This is despite the fact that the new approach meant that most days therewas a quiz to begin the class, to hold them accountable for having watched the video orread the article before class.
