In the long term, this hypothesis and the efficacy of the system as a learningtool will be investigated via longitudinal studies on learner outcomes.The development of the e-learning algorithms and software will build on the object-orientedstructure of the interactive simulation algorithms.

Based on thisdata, it is often inferred that students with stronger verbal skills are encouraged to go to fieldsoutside of STEM.The concept of writing across the curriculum has been researched, tried, and documented fordecades. Earlier it was referred to as cross-curricular writing instruction, now it is morecommonly referred to as “Writing Across the Curriculum.” One must wonder why this has beensuch a discussed concept, and why it is so very hard for various entities to enact. Mostacademics would agree that writing skills are important and should be practiced to master.7

Midterm and Final ExamsBecause a uniform mastering of the course concepts by all the students is unlikely, determining afinal course grade solely on the technical reports may not be a true measure of student learning.Therefore, two two-hour exams are used to measure student learning of the course outcomes.Because the course is intended to be a simulated workplace scenario, the exams are open book—closed notes.
