-care provider. The walk-in setup, as opposed to outpatientappointment scheduling, gives multiple challenging potentials to develop what-if scenarios forstudents to further develop their simulation project even after their targeted lab assignment. Thegoal is to inspire students’ creativity and engage them in their learning experience. By providinguser friendly tools that support changing the model, students learn to deal with changing andexploiting scenarios in the case.We use a simple conceptual model with a few nurses, doctors, and staff to represent the clinic.Simplicity and real-world familiarity of this concept provides students with a jumpstart to takeownership of their simulation study. Soon, students realize the complexity of this case

literature review process Booth (2016), a set ofselected databases were queried using a nearly identical search string in order to capturearticles that would plausibly address the research question. Three databases were selectedfor this project: Education Source, ERIC, and Scopus. Education Source and ERIC aredatabases that contain sources related to education. These databases were selected toalign with the goal of the project to look into literature which is focused on engineeringmassive open online courses and their role in student learning, participation, andengagement. The final database, Scopus, is the largest source of peer-reviewed literature.Such a broad reach is important to address the overarching research goal because of thefield-spanning

Rubric use followsthe same general algorithm: the student work is first compared against the highest quality level,then if necessary the lower level, and finally if necessary the work is determined to be closer toone of these levels or the other.The final element of this project involves the training of our teaching assistants to obtainconsistent evaluation of student work across all students in the

Context of Online LaboratoriesThis section presents some works that are part of the state of the art for online laboratories used ineducation, including virtual, remote and hybrid laboratory implementations.The Virtual Instruments Systems In Reality (VISIR) project [1] develops online laboratoriesspecifically in areas of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, including hands-on, virtual, andremote experiments. The VISIR experiments include: protoboards, sources, signal generators,meters, oscilloscopes and components (resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes etc). All theexperiments can be remotely operated through the Internet. This characteristic allows
to determine the effectiveness of the workshops. The workshoptopics were focused on research and communication skills development as elements ofprofessional skills. The Engineer of 2020 Project centers on an effort to envision the future andto use that knowledge to attempt to predict the roles that engineers will play in the future[3][4][5]. The current study included engineering standards, lifelong learning in addition toresearch and communication skills as these are considered important professional developmentskills.

Specifically, this project isdesigned to address the following research questions: 1) What do students from differentinstitutionalized pathways into engineering believe about smartness and engineering? 2) How dothese students express their personal identities related to being smart and being an engineer?In order to answer our research questions over the scope of the full, three-year project, we willcollect and analyze a series of three interviews with 30 participants across six different first-yearinstitutionalized pathways into engineering: main campus-honors program, main campus-residential cohorts, main campus-standard program, main campus-alternative math starting point,regional campuses, and community college. The first interview is to establish

purpose of this paper is to explain the process by which we improved a Minecraft-based educational intervention through incorporation of principles of video game design toimprove learner engagement. In this paper, we outline the research supporting use of digitalgame-based learning to improve kids' spatial reasoning, the elements of video game design, andthe steps we took between years 1 and 2 to improve our Minecraft-based educationalintervention. Results from both years are compared to show areas where our interventionimproved, and future directions and challenges are outlined based on lessons learned from theprocess. The outcomes of our project are intended to inform other efforts to employ digital game-based learning to maximize the utility

in the spring semester of 2019.The campus-wide collection cancellation project makes us rethink current practices for collectionmanagement, especially the pruning practice which is primarily based on the cost-per-use model.According to Kendrick, the cost-per-use model fails to account for variability of the usage pattern,consequently overvaluing journal subscriptions [1]. Beyond the limitation of the cost-per-use model,there are four main challenges around collection management. First, we engineering librarians havemany responsibilities besides collection management including instruction, reference, public servicesand outreach. Second, we spend increasing expenditures on “big deal” journal packages to which ourlibraries subscribe and have
problems solvedusing diverse methods [1-3].Most problems in engineering are graded using a rubric that accounts for the solution, and not forthe thought process. The simplicity of those rubrics does not permit the identification ofdeficiencies in problem solving skills. In this project, a problem solving rubric developed forPhysics students was adapted to assess the problem solving skills of engineering studentsenrolled in a first semester engineering course. Unlike most rubrics used in engineering courses,this rubric grades the thought process, and splits the problem solving approach into separatecategories: Useful Description, Engineering and Math Approach, Application of Engineering,Mathematical Procedures, and Logical Progression.
