We havechosen to address these issues by developing a pre-semester physics “bootcamp” to give studentsthe necessary study skills and practice working with physics content before they start theirphysics course. Additionally, we incorporate directed support during the semester to continuedeveloping the student’s ability to succeed.Physics Jam is a 1 to 2 week free program offered to all students taking first or second semesterphysics. During the program, students work on reviewing math concepts they will need to besuccessful in their physics course, developing study

In a previous work on using operational definitions, we examined the results of thisassessment for 8 sections of the introductory course. In this paper we extend the work anddisaggregate the student population by gender. We provide students a chance to cooperativelycorrect examinations. We believe this practice improves student learning and has implicationsfor the administration of fair and equitable assessments of that learning.Student populationThe University of

module test tries also varied by the difficulty of the module material. While theaverage test tries per module averaged in the range from 1 to 2 for most modules, the averagetest tries was significantly higher for three of the 17 modules. The average tries per module forthese three modules ranged between 2.3 to 2.5. The three modules included introductorymechanics topics that often challenge students:Module 6: Applications of Newton’s Laws (frictional forces in a moving system, circular motion)Module 10: CollisionsModule 14: Oscillation and Simple Harmonic MotionIt was hypothesized that a possible “snowball effect” would limit the weakest students from

result demonstrated that there was a strongcorrelation between the scores of the two sections on conceptual questions and problem solving.IntroductionEngineering Thermodynamics is a very challenging course to many students, since this courserequires a new approach in solving problems. Beginning from their first physics course, studentsare used to solving problems with equations. However, most of the working substances inengineering applications are not ideal gases, and they cannot be described by equations. Instead,students have to rely on the data tables to find the solutions [1]. Furthermore, this courseintroduces many new concepts, which cannot be well understood without reflecting on themwhen working on the exercise problems. Unfortunately

The failure of the crane (the electromagnet does not attract any clips) resulted in a zeroscore for the team.An example of the conceptual developed project analysis is presented in Appendix B.The Problem Based Learning approach scripts were applied all year (4 in 1st semester and 3 in2nd semester).

theirsubsequent engineering courses and careers? Faculty often mention “problem solving skills” and“conceptual understanding”; but decades of physics and engineering education research havebarely addressed this question empirically.1-3Some engineering educators argue that traditional close-ended, well-structured and well-definedproblem-solving of the type demanded by end-of-chapter problems in physics textbooks isimportant to emphasize, because it develops skills that students can build on and apply in laterengineering classes. Others argue that mathematical sense-making—translating and seekingcoherence between mathematical formalism and physical reasoning (often intuitive), usingmathematics flexibly as part of sense-making about the physical world—is

The presuppositions that went into the design and implementation were insufficientto achieve functionality. There is some recognition of this problem in the literature on engineering laboratories.Feisel and Rosa [1] point out the lack of consensus on what constitutes proper laboratoryinstruction and the overall lack of consensus on what constitutes an appropriate laboratoryexperience. They decry the dearth of literature on learning objectives associated withinstructional engineering laboratories.

offered students the opportunity to realize how empowered theywere in solving complex and non-familiar problems.1 IntroductionAs Albert Einstein stated, “Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not,however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world”. Physical concepts are used tostudy the physical phenomena represented by models. Models that go through iterative cycles ofconjecturing, testing and revising, until they satisfy constrains and provide a feasible explanationof the phenomenon under certain assumptions. In each iterative cycle, knowledge increases and abetter understanding of the phenomenon is attained, and the models become more robust andconnect more concepts. Models and modeling perspective
