It is reflected in the organization of information in memory, the speed andaccuracy of decision-making under uncertainty, the global or macro approaches to dealing withproblems, and the preference for different problem solving strategies (Messik, 1976, 1984;Sternberg & Grigorenko, 1997).Two measures of cognitive design style are used in this project, the first is the problem-solutionindex and the second is design patterns based on the transitions of design issues and designprocesses. These provide quantitative measures of design styles. Cognitive design style ismeasured at the meta-level by dividing the entire design activity into two

researchers seek to understand whether and to what extent thedevelopment of engineering “habits of mind and action” in middle school STEM (science,technology, engineering, and math) courses leads to improvements in problem solving abilities,integration of STEM content, and increased interest in engineering. The Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS; NGSS Lead States, 2013) call for “raising engineering design to the samelevel as scientific inquiry in science classroom instruction at all levels” (p. 1). Reflecting thisemphasis on engineering as a core idea, recent reforms include proficiency in engineering designas a key component of college and career readiness (Auyang, 2004; Carr, Bennett, & Strobel,2012; Duderstadt, 2008; Kelly, 2014

,analyses of award winning products, and a case study of a long-term design project, DesignHeuristics capture the cognitive “rules of thumb” used by designers to intentionally vary their setof candidate designs[23]. These strategies appear to be ones that expert designers employautomatically, without consciously deciding to do so[24]. The heuristics were individuallyextracted across multiple concepts from multiple designers to reflect a useful level of abstractionin describing how to alter design characteristics to create new ones[25]. The resulting set of DesignHeuristics capture 77 different strategies, each of which can be applied independently or in tocreate new designs[26].The set of Design Heuristics is packaged as an instructional tool for

. Instructional Design, on the other hand, is the systematic and reflective process oftranslating principles of learning and instruction into plans for, instructional materials, activities,information resources, and evaluation [1]. Teaching refers to the learning experiences that arefacilitated by a human being. Smith and Ragan [1] identifies three steps in instructional design inthe following way: a. Identifying the Goals through Analysis – This involves consideration of the learning outcomes to be achieved, background of students and the nature of the teaching activity such as lecture, workshop, and lab work. b. Development of an Instructional Strategy – This is the planning of how the instruction will take place

. In DFM, a more functionally constrained project could accomplish the same thing.• Building the Connection between Function and GD&T This follows from the previous point and reflects the challenge noted earlier that students experience the greatest difficulty when they are required to come up with the correct controls, and more so specific values of tolerance that will result in a desired function. In industry, this experiential knowledge has been acquired over time and is captured in standards and procedures for dimensioning and tolerancing the specific products that are designed and manufactured. Though it is difficult to reproduce this in an academic setting, tooling design again represents a good application

Another concern raisedrelated to expectations was the name of the platform. It can be a bit of a misnomer that thegamification platform is called 3D GameLab which implies for students that the activities theywill be doing are all game-based.

. This is not entirely borne out by otherassessment results. As mentioned above, project completion rates are very high. However, thequality of the final programs varies considerably, though it is difficult to judge consistently. Webelieve that this variation in quality reflects variation in student understanding of programmingand problem solving and would indicate that students may be overly optimistic about theirabilities. Quiz results provide another possible point of comparison. We have collected quizresults for questions related to problem solving but have not yet completed a numerical analysisthat would provide a comparison with student self-assessment.

This very strong correlation suggests that exercises may berecognized as being practical and realistic if the tutorials’ applicability to them extends beyondthe classroom. If this were the case, then it will be important to ensure that exercises foradditional tutorials reflect real scenarios in radio engineering.

The MMET 207 lab size was held at a maximum of 16, regardless of semester offering,since this was restricted by physical lab space. It is conjectured that the different class sizes andthe resulting teacher-to-student ratio, and hence the individual attention that could be afforded toeach student could have had an impact on student perception of the topic/instructor and the classin general (and potentially performance) as well, as was reflected in the research. Further, theimpact of missing a class/day was much more significant in the case of the summer sessionoffering. Regular semester
