. These tests offer threetrials based on the student’s performance. If the student passes the test with a grade of B (80%)or more on a trial, s/he does not have to take the next trial. Each new trial involves new questionsthat have similar difficulty levels to the previous trial. Therefore, if the student retake a trial,his/her grade will be reduced in the successive trials. The student will not receive a grade untilhe/she successfully solves the trial or exhaust all the trials. In other mastery applications,resubmission would involve an assignment or evaluation instrument that is slightly harder thanthe previous one; therefore, students who resubmit do not receive a reduced grade. The completedetail of the grade breakdown is explained in the
various contextsfrom training to education. While the use of games varies substantially depending on thepurpose(s) and benefit(s) of the game provider and gamer, recent a recent literature surveyindicates that majority of attention has been paid on the affordance of the games in other wordsdeveloping and evaluating prototypes, while focus was comparably less on the actual use andeffectiveness of games [1]. Regardless of the effectiveness and generalizability of educationalgames, more and more serious games are integrated into engineering curricula as computer-based,manual, and virtual reality-type; and a scientific consensus is established on the fact that gamesand interactive simulations are more dominant for cognitive gain outcomes [5]; [1
research are available indicating the importance of integrating various skillsfrom the job market into the engineering curriculum. Chikumba, S. et al. discusses the benefit ofintegrating hard technical skills and technologies with the soft skills required by IndustrialEngineers to satisfy the marketplace [3]. The University of Florida produced a study on the“talent paradox” in which students cannot find jobs because they do not possess the skillsrequired by companies and companies cannot find the right employees because of the lack ofskills in applicants [4]. One article outlines a course for engineering students in their lastsemester. This course aims to bridge the skills gap from school to real life situations [5],[6]. TheU.S. Department of

The majority of all bachelor degreesawarded in engineering are to [w]hite males”[4],[5]. Thinking about students’ meaningful writingexperiences as related to enagement may be a way to further examine engagement as a “precursorto persistence”[6].Defining meaningful writing is important to understand its distinction. In the Meaningful WritingProject, Eodice, Geller, & Lerner [3] define meaningful writing as Agentive: develop[s] a sense of agency about [students] as writers, learners, and thinkers
CURE section. For thisreason, we did not advertise or inform students about the planned difference between thesections. Out of a total of 134 students (40 in the CURE section, 94 in the traditional lecturesection), only two changed sections after the first day of class, and this was for schedulingreasons. We note that for this pilot semester, the CURE section started with 110 available seats,and the traditional section had 100 available seats. We think the large difference in studentsregistered was a function of schedules for the S’18 semester.Pilot Program: Research Activities & AssignmentsIn the CURE section of IE271, there are now four research experiences involving the followingtopics: time study and line balancing, ergonomic risk and

ISE is a very large market currently untapped byStevens and one that aligns with the mission of the school.Schools that offer Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) programs and are listed inthe top 10 by US News and
appears in our classroomDropping the worst homework is a very common practice intended to increase the overall score ofa course section. One assumes that doing so will help increase the grade of each and every studentin the classroom. It is important to define that by score at a given stage we mean the ratio betweenthe number of points attained up to that stage and the maximum number of points attainable up tothat stage. Mathematically this score is # o f points attained by student S(%) = × 100. Maximum # o f points attainableThe maximum number of points attainable depends on the moment in the course that this score iscomputed
