Mid-Atlantic university created a specificprogramming course for materials science undergraduate students4. This department also createdand integrated several computational modules into the six materials science core courses tosupport solving disciplinary problems. This presented an opportunity to conduct research toidentify effective pedagogical strategies to scaffold student learning in this context 4,5.Identifying appropriate scaffolding methods in this endeavor is important because learningcomputer programming is a complex task in itself. Now, pairing programming with disciplinaryconcepts may increase the complexity of this learning process4. To scaffold the integration of programming concepts with disciplinary concepts, thisstudy

At both institutions, the courses of interest are required junior-levelengineering classes that incorporate simulations into the classroom. The study began Fall 2015,and for that semester the class from the mid-atlantic university was chemical engineering courseon separations with a total of 29 students. The course from the western university was twosections of a required aerospace engineering class on orbital mechanics. These two sections hada total of 67 students which were split into sections of 33 and 34. Required junior-level courseswere chosen for this study since by this point in the curriculum students have had a

Participantswere first year engineering students that were non-calculus ready at the time of enrollment in thestudy. This study was reviewed and approved by the WVU-Institutional Review Board.Course Schedule: The course was developed using the CDIO (conceive, design, implement,operate) educational framework and includes activities that promote students’ problem solvingskills, and introduce students to research, experimentation, and engineering design [8-11].

As part of a larger post-semester survey,researchers at a mid-Atlantic university administered Fisher and Peterson's Adaptive ExpertiseBeliefs survey [1] to students enrolled in two sections of a senior design capstone course.Instructors taught one section of the course using methods based on the principles of adaptiveexpertise, while the other course section involved the use of the traditional lecture-based methodof instruction. Results indicated a significant difference in overall adaptive expertise beliefscores.

This paper presents preliminary findings on the relationshipbetween these three prototyping lenses and students’ prototyping awareness, which we define asstudents’ ability to identify their mental models during the prototyping process. We useprototyping awareness as a proxy to measure adoption and implementation of PFX methods.

improvement in student learning, however it had itsown issues, the most troubling being the long waits that the students tended to encounter whentrying to get their pre-labs checked. The following is the Reflection section from the FCAR: What worked well: Needing to get the pre-labs 100% correct helped the students understand the concepts better and certainly made the post-labs drastically better. I felt that the students learned more and fewer were just going through the motions when doing the experiments. My post-lab grading time was cut to almost nothing. The field trip was great. What didn’t work as well: I spent A LOT of time checking and re-checking pre-labs and helping students. The lines were long
