c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Quantitative Survey and Analysis of Five Maker Spaces at Large, Research-Oriented UniversitiesAbstractTechnical universities around the world are opening makerspaces on their campuses: facilitiesand cultures that afford unstructured student-centric environments for design, invention, andprototyping. Consequentially, there is a growing need to survey and understand emergent trendsand best practices, to compare and contrast them. Towards this end, we have conductedinterviews at five university maker spaces: Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology, Georgia Tech, Technical University of Berlin, and at Arizona State University.

it had the unfortunate impact thatassignment questions with more scope for students to make decisions were shifted later in theterm as this type of question is much easier to write for functions than for arrays. This also meantthat students had less practice with programming questions requiring the use of their judgement.The course project in MTE121 was scaled back significantly, becoming closer to a two partassignment rather than an open-ended design project. Accordingly, the weighting of theassignments and projects changed in the course syllabus (assignments increased from 10% to19% in 2020, and the project decreased from 15% to 6% in 2020)2.2.2 AssignmentsThe most significant change to the weekly assignments for 2020 was the shift away
