. This makes itimpossible for students to take measurements outside of the lab room with this equipment, and itcreates scheduling challenges if more than one class needs the same equipment in a given term.This latter issue is often solved by having multiple labs outfitted with identical test equipment inorder to simultaneously support the needs of multiple courses, further increasing the cost ofoutfitting and maintaining labs.Students may be limited to only a few hours per week to use the equipment during lab sessions,making it difficult for them to get sufficient practice to master critical measurement skills. Due tocost and space limitations, typical lab rooms are designed to support two-person teams with asingle set of fixed equipment for

).Particularly important for this semester, students felt well supported and had a strong sense ofcommunity with their peers in this course. Students responded 93% or higher in agreement thatthe course built community with their peers, was inclusive and supportive to learning, and thatthe classroom environment was conducive to learning. Of note in the comments: “Lab time was always incredibly joyful and the attitude in the room was always positive. We were empowered to learn to master the material and class time and office hours were always super inclusive.” “Opportunities were presented for you to learn more about the topic. You gained more knowledge obviously, but you also learned by being in a group or having a partner

Before the move online, mostlecturers would stay after class to answer the questions from students. After the move to remotelearning, this changed. According to Kirk, a Masters student, “And so both of them wereworking you know, and industry so you know, I felt both my classes were in the evenings therefrom six to nine, you know, from 6:00 to 8:45 at nighttime. Right and so both professors wereworking during daytime. And so they didn't have, you know, office hours, or they would be oncampus normally”Student Positive CommentsDespite the general negative impressions that students had during Spring 2020, there

There are also several online homework systems such as Mastering Engineering,WileyPlus, and McGraw-Hill Connect. These systems are commercial products offered by threemajor textbook publishers. Some problems may require algebraic comparisons, which have beenimplemented by some prior systems [12], [13]. These systems typically require the final answer toa problem but do not require any diagrams. This situation can result in students struggling withsome concepts if they do not draw their free body diagram on their own since it is not required.Some of these platforms offer free-body diagram interfaces, but the feedback on the students’sketches

according to one of five acquisition levels: know, apply and/orunderstand, master (understand and apply), adapt, and innovate. The selected levels [35, 40-42]are classified by the five achievement levels: 1) initiated, 2) partial, 3) quite good, 4) good, and5) excellent. This classification is partly empirical and depends on the expertise of theinstructors.In the Warin group’s views, the role-play is an important and educational research concept, inthe case of poorly-defined roles, can have significant negative effects on teamwork [33-35, 40-42]. This concept is corresponding in the MPR paradigm to the work responsibility concept. Thegame concepts are defined as a set of rules, allowing people to interact with each other toaccomplish a goal.

This sort ofbehavior seems distinctly possible among any population of non-majors in an introductory class.For example, in Fouh’s examination of interactions with an e-textbook in a Computer Sciencecourse 7 , the majority of students ignored the readings; only doing what was required to receivecredit for reading. Students may or may not be exhibiting the same ”credit seeking” 7 behaviorseen in this paper, but they are likely not reading as thoroughly as an educator might expect whenthe textbook was written.From this point of view, the visualizations created were at best somewhat successful atcommunicating the underlying ideas of list-based iteration.

self-efficacy of users along with drawingability. Having a method to measure learner self-efficacy is intrinsic to understanding the process ofdrawing skill development.The absence of an instrument to assess drawing self-efficacy prevents usfrom evaluating the impact of the intelligent tutoring system on user’s drawing self-efficacy. Hence,there is a need for an instrument that assesses drawing self-efficacy to make sure that studentsare mastering sketching and thereby gaining skills that contribute to their success in engineering.In addition, it is critical to gauge the drawing self-efficacy of individuals to compare traditionalpedagogy with new teaching methods such as intelligent tutoring systems.
