activity requires students to use parts that have been fabricated on the 3-D printer to build a working solenoid. It is suggested that students use this task as an introduction to computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) by designing and printing their own solenoid parts. However, the plans for the parts are available to download if the teacher prefers. Once the parts are completed, students coil wire around the solenoid frame. Lab 5: Investigating solenoids. The penultimate activity leads the students through putting all the related knowledge and skills together to use coiled wire connected to a battery on the 3-D printed solenoid tube to power a metal slug

We introduce these problems to students in a group problem-solving session eachweek and we had students coming to that class trying to guess what the Hyperloop problemwould be about. This means that, presumably, they were thinking about the Hyperloop as theywere reading about the week’s concepts; exactly the kind of engagement we hope for.We plan to do a more formal assessment of these ideas next fall after having completed this pilotrun this year. We did receive a number of positive student comments about the Hyperloopproblems such as: I loved the thought-provoking Hyperloop problems. Every day of physics is like solving a puzzle. I love it.

collecting this data from students. Ourrationale and plans are summarized below: • Our project specifically works with a cohort of non-tenure track ranks (e.g., instructors, professors of practices, collegiate assistant professors) for whom quality of teaching is arguably even more critical than in the dossiers of tenure-track/tenured rank faculty. We feel it is important for us (as an institution) to understand these phenomena to put data in context and to continuously improve our measures of teaching quality. For example, it could be useful for an instructor and for departmental evaluators to know that some courses might be subject to systematic penalties because of the course itself (e.g., some of

planning our second iteration, we are using conjecture mapping [17] toconnect embodiment of educational design with mediating processes towards interventionoutcomes. In terms of embodiment, we believe that formative assessment, metacognitivescaffolds, and team-based learning are key considerations towards promoting the affective,motivational, and cognitive processes in students. Formative assessment will help practitioners,researchers, and students identify prior knowledge, skills, and practices, which could act ingenerative or inhibitory ways [18].

Or, does the ECE curriculum somehowchange these students’ perceptions about the prosocial affordance of the profession, andeven worse, diminish their empathy? These questions can only be answered by conductingthe longitudinal study of a neutral classroom condition as is planned in future work.4. Procedure – Video Production Intervention In order to force the students to make a connection between the course material and itsprosocial value, students were assigned a video production assignment.

In this study,we report on changes to three of these courses.

We then introduced variants offeedback and revision related to two short technical reports. Each lab includes a prelab with a jobsafety analysis (JSA) and experiment planning, as required by ABET.

Further, these results may help toinform potential programmatic evaluations and changes.BackgroundDuring the last three decades, there has been controversy about what data analysis knowledge isrequired by engineers in order to make sound decisions. An important precedent to the modernABET criteria asserted that engineers should appreciate five aspects of statistics [1]: • the omnipresence of variability, • the use of graphical tools such as histograms, scatterplots and control charts, • the concepts related to statistical inference, • the importance and elements of well-planned experimental designs, and • philosophies of data quality derived from
