collegial and included room for dialogue and questioning.The decision to make the course mandatory was made largely based on data from the Y1 pilot,assuming that similar outcomes would result from a scaled-up version of the course. Littleattention was given to anticipating how changing the course from optional to mandatory wouldaffect student attitudes, beliefs, or motivations in Y2, in part due to the necessity of makingcourse planning and scheduling decisions for Y2 just a few weeks after the conclusion of the Y1pilot. The unfortunate reality of making an educational pilot fit within the ongoing academiccalendar and scheduling demands of a large public institution necessitates that logistical coursedecisions regarding classroom reservations

student who is able to think sociotechnically is that they will acknowledge, accountfor, and plan for the complex interplays between social and technical dimensions of engineeringacross problem defining and solving phases. In this section, we describe literature relevant tosuch behavior.One of the ways we conceptualize sociotechnical thinking is within the engineering habits ofmind, which are defined as the values, attitudes, and skills held by engineers [9]. Prior researchin engineering education has endeavored to identify engineering habits of mind and methods forteaching them. However, there does not seem to be a clear consensus about the most promisingways to address them in the classroom. This is especially true for habits of mind related

This influence can be manifested inthe verbal and nonverbal communication; not just the lecture or material but the way it ispresented and the way that educators carry themselves in relation to it.

Typically, there are two types of vibration motors that are commonly used, aneccentric rotating mass vibration motor (ERM) and a linear resonant actuator (LRA). The ERM “uses a smallunbalanced mass on a DC motor; when it rotates it creates a force that translates to vibrations.” The LRA“contains a small internal mass attached to a spring, which creates a force when drive.” For this project, ERMcoin motors were used. The original plan was to use one haptic motor in the glove as the alarm, however, wedecided to use two—one placed on either side of the wrist so that one would vibrate in accordance with whichsensor was detecting
