We conducted one focus group interview with three students from one team in energyengineering and six individual interviews with students from energy engineering, civil engineering,and computer engineering (Table 2). Since this is a work-in-progress, we reported our primaryfindings based on the group interview and six individual interviews. In our next step, for triangulationand enrich data with different aspects of students’ learning experiences in PBL, we planned to conductfocus group interviews firstly, and then invite same students from focus group interviews toparticipant in individual interviews.In the data analysis process, all interviews involved in this study were transcribed and reviewedcarefully

process [22].Kolb’s model draws heavily upon the concept of learning styles and several of the forgoingsuppositions have elements of learning style doctrine within them. According to Healey andJenkins [24], learning styles reflect a diversity of environmental considerations including thoseattributable to gender and cultural differences. Willingham, et al. [25] and others [26]–[28],however, contend that there are inherent problems with the learning styles theories and that theylack scientific rigor.Kolb’s model suggests that experiential learning can be characterized as a four-phase cyclicmodel. Under this model, learners (1) have an experience, (2) reflect on the experience, (3)conceptualize what they have experienced into a model or theory and

Gendered effects of performance in CS areinfluenced by the social environment, whereas programming experience in high school or undergraduateeducation beyond introductory CS is reflective of the opportunity that students have in their pre-collegeenvironment. We also take students’ grades in the linear algebra course to be reflective of theirenvironment, rather than their ability, because the programming assignment we study involved forming anAx = b matrix from a set of equations. Based on students’ difficulty with this concept in class, wehypothesized that having prior knowledge of linear algebra would be helpful on this programmingassignment. And therefore, students who had the opportunity to take advanced

progresses. This places those studentsat a disadvantage relative to their peers, as they have difficulty understanding and masteringadvanced topics. The knowledge gap also often results in the repetition of topics and prolongedlab sessions, as well as more serious issues such as the mishandling of equipment.STEM instruction typically is based on verbal, deductive, reflective, and sequential learningmethods. However, studies show that students in science and engineering programs tend to dowell with visual, inductive, active, and global learning methods. With this information in mind,we developed custom pre-lab videos to address the knowledge gap. The pre-lab videosdemonstrate basic usage and implementation of laboratory equipment, software tools

Bonwell and Eison [1] stated “that in active learning, students participate in theprocess and students participate when they are doing something besides passively listening." Thegoal of active learning activities is to actively involve students in the teaching and learningprocess in order to increase student engagement, performance, and retention [2].Despite the considerable published research in the literature [3-6] showing the advantage ofactive learning approaches in STEM and engineering education and its impact on increasingstudents performance, many instructors still do not implement active learning in their teachingcurriculum.
