Additionally, students who submit homeworkassignments before they are due tend to perform better in the course than average, and studentswho submit homework assignments very late tend to preform worse. We plan to provide these results to our students in an attempt to improve theirperformance. Students may be more willing to improve their performance on teams and submithomework assignments earlier if they are given results backed by data which was collected froman engineering course as opposed to anecdotal stories or research collected from differentmajors.

The 223 quarter credits, equivalent to about 149semester credits, have been reduced to 120 semester credits, thus enabling full-time students tograduate in 4 years as opposed to 5 years in the quarter system, and also better positioning ourprogram to be competitive with programs of other institutions, especially those in our vicinity.The reduction in the semester credits was possible through reviewing the curriculum, combining,modifying, and eliminating courses, without diluting student learning or deviating from ABETrequirements. Both full-time and adjunct faculty members were involved in the Q2S conversion.The semester system went into effect in fall 2017. There is no quantitative assessment of theimpact

As one example of active learning, the use of physical and virtual interactives (orthe combination thereof) for both in-class teaching and outside of class learning has often beenshown to enhance student learning [2]. Similar to all other learning materials, the way in whichinteractives are used can be as

Textbooks are often used as an outline for course planning. Most textbooks are built as repositories of information on a concept or knowledge area and tend to be ordered in a certain way, sometimes by time of discovery, and other times in order of ‘difficulty’. This order may not have authentic or significant for developing cognitive interconnections. Also, books often promote remembering how to do specific problems which we have identified as a problem itself.Inconsistencies regarding velocityIn this article, misconceptions and incongruencies around the concept of

The theoretical sampling processcontinued until the point of theoretical saturation, which means that the researcher stoppedinterviewing engineers when no new relevant data emerges and the relationship between thedifferent categories is established [16]. A total of 13 semi-structured interviews; open-ended questions; were conducted. Theduration of each interview ranged from 30 to 45 minutes.

Therefore, these programs would have to remove a course fromthe credit count in order to substitute a process safety course.
