integrate LESs into F2F and online class activities, and evaluate which combina-tion(s) of LESs can be most effective on improving student learning.3 Pedagogical Approach using LESsIn this section we present our proposed LES integration model (LESIM), a brief overview of SEP-CyLE, and a description of how LESs are integrated into the F2F and online activities of a softwaretesting class. Preliminary results obtained by comparing the midterm exam scores prior to usingLESs and while using LESs in the classroom are also presented.3.1 LES Integration Model (LESIM)Conceptually LESIM is used to improve student learning based on the model shown in Figure1. The top of the figure shows the pedagogical approaches (LESs and traditional approach) thatare

If categories occur simultaneously, thecodes are sorted in ascending order to make the data organized. We implemented an overlappingprocedure approach presented in [18] to incorporate multiple codes. We selected a data thresholdsuch that short time intervals (< ~3 s) were ignored. After manipulating the data, an agreementmatrix is formed similar to shown in Table 1, on which any statistical IRR calculation can beexecuted (Cohen’s Kappa, Krippendorff’s Alpha, Scott’s Pi, etc.).

Since Fall 2016, the authors have taught a sessionof FYS 1101 for these majors as a
communication and management acumen (e.g., technicalwriting, technical presentations, and project management). Such an approach is essential topreparing future engineers for the workplace [1]. The challenge becomes providing studentswith effective exposure to both kinds of skills within engineering programs.Traditionally, the development of such skills has been a matter of content-specific courseworkintegrated into a school’s engineering program(s). (A classic example is the technical writingcourse often offer by English or communication departments and required of engineeringundergraduates.) As institutional resources shrink and student demand increases, the need tofind alternative methods for offering training in these “soft-skill” areas grows

Newtonian mechanics [15],visualizing electric circuits [16] and several activities in chemistry [3].Solving apparently simple problems in mathematics can be very challenging as illustrated in astudy by Clement [17] who administered a number of word problems to engineering students.Just under one third of students were able to construct the correct algebraic equation from thefollowing statement (using C to represent the number of cheesecakes and S the number ofstrudels): “At Mindy’s restaurant, for every four people who ordered cheesecake, there are fivepeople who ordered strudel.” Such high error rates in problem solving can be exacerbated bychanging the problem phrasing. For example, Hegarty, Mayer & Green [18] found thatrephrasing a simple

Ifthe smooth slider has the speed shown at point A, what is the maximum distance s that it canreach?Figure 4 - Example of a Problem in Mechanics.Solving this problem requires an understanding of kinetic and potential energy and how toaccount for it in a system.Similarly consider Figure 5 showing a tank of water connected to a nozzle. Given all thedimensions, a reasonable question might be to determine the pressure at the throat of the nozzle.Again this problem requires an understanding of how to account for energy in a system.
