process.However, students also perceive that simulation fails to replicate the real world scenarios andapplications. The majority of students perceive that a hybrid approach, i.e. a combination ofhand-on and simulation is the best instructional strategy for learning circuit design andapplications. The implications of these findings for the practice of instructional technology vis-à-vis cognitive learning (scaffolding and exploration), in the context of past and future researchendeavors is discussed in the following section. The second case study looked at role of feedback in simulation-based training. Laboratoryexercises play a key role in the education of future scientists and engineers, yet there existsdisagreement among science and engineering

]. The camouflage is not just a turn of phrase because the kinds of harmful algorithms she discusses are “by design, inscrutable black boxes” [33:28]. She devotes a whole chapter to the impact of the U.S. News college ranking system and how its use of known proxies creates a system prone to gaming. This possibility for gaming then lay the foundation for a consulting industry that further privileges students with a high socioeconomic status (usually white, urban, upper-class families). Therefore, even if the model itself might not be the main discriminatory tool, it can set clear conditions for discriminatory practices. This is a salient point because, as O’Neil illustrates, one of the reasons we wish to create models is so that

TechnologyTECH 12000 – “Design Thinking in Technology”, is a freshman level survey course designed todevelop a students’ perspective and enhance their skills in living and working in a technologicalsociety while introducing them to Purdue Polytechnic. Two sections of TECH 12000 wereutilized by the researchers to recruit volunteers for this study.Originally, the instructors, who are also the authors of this paper, planned to introduce the topicof VR to the class by digital presentation (e.g. PowerPoint). However, from experience anddiscussions they decided that for someone to fully understand and appreciate what currentimmersive VR is, they must experience it first-hand. This idea and the need to assistadministration with classroom technology procurement

Institute of Technology, studying for a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.S. in Information Systems. Before coming to WVU Institute of Techonology, I graduated suma cum laude from both Midland Trail High School and from Fayette Institute of Tech- nology in the Aries Computer Maintenance course. I taught a 12-week night class at Fayette Institute of technology on smartphones and tablets on three separate occasions. After coming to WVU Institute of Technology, I began working under Dr. Afrin Naz in a work-study arrangement. In this work-study, I am continuing research with parallel computing, and using the Scratch programming language as a tool for STEM education in the K-12 fields.Mr. Caleb R Dingus, West Virginia
