c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Resistance is Futile: A New Collaborative Laboratory Game Based Lab to Teach Basic Circuit Concepts AbstractIn recent years, gamification of education has proven to be an effective paradigm in modernpedagogy. Following the success their previous work "Sector Vector”, the authors now present anew game-based laboratory to highlight the manipulation and calculation of resistors in circuits.In Game of Ohms [1] the lesson of electrical resistance is delivered as an interactive exercisebuilding an intricate circuit. As the game progresses, students are forced to make short and longterm plans to modify an evolving circuit which

year. Regardless ofmajor, all students taking the introductory sequence are enrolled in the same inquiry-basedsecond-semester general physics laboratory. Consequently, assessing the impact of the sharedlaboratory curriculum takes on added importance to determine if students are learning what weare teaching.8Gender & Pedagogical Issues in Physics Assessment TestsThe impact of gender on undergraduate enrollments and pedagogy have bedeviled the physicseducational community for many decades.9,10 Among all fields of science and engineering,physics continues to have among the lowest representation of females at the undergraduate level.The situation deteriorates at higher levels on the educational and professional ladder.11 Thegender gap in the

The assessment of learning is a powerful diagnosis that allows teachers toredirect their efforts towards assisting the weaknesses of the learning process as presented bystudents. This paper discusses 10 ways to improve learning Physics as

. Control: Traditional Lecture-Recitation-Exam (LRE) FormatThe structure of the LRE format included three hours per week of face-to-face lecturesdelivered by faculty and two-hour recitations delivered by teaching assistants. The lectureswere recorded and the videos were available through the course website. In the recitations,students completed a set of special physics problems developed by the faculty instructor thathighlighted key weekly lecture concepts and methods. Weekly homework sets and readingassignments were based on the book, Fundamentals of Physics Extended (10th Edition) (Halliday2013).Students were also required to complete five laboratory experiments. This component accountedfor 5% of their final grade. Recitation participation

disciplines in Spanish, focuseson integrating physics and calculus for first-year engineering students13. The Fis-Mat coursemeets three times a week for a total of 5 blocks of 80 minutes each in three sessions (one blockon Monday and two consecutive blocks on Wednesday and Friday). In terms of teaching load,two blocks correspond to the Physics course, two blocks to the Mathematics course and oneblock corresponds to the Physics Laboratory. Both professors were present and participating atall times. During the actual sessions there was no distinction between the blocks, each professorled the class depending on students’ needs. The course program was structured in a coherent andarticulated way without paying much attention on whose block corresponded

superconducting puck capable of displaying magnetic levitation via the Meissnereffect. As with any experiment, favorable results are not guaranteed. This is itself a valuablelesson, and this project will require continued work over several semesters. As successive 5students add to the project, we hope to develop an educational condensed matter laboratorypackage for our upper division classes. A continuing issue at institutions focused on teaching isthe lack of laboratory equipment compared to more research-minded campuses. This projecttherefore encourages collaborations with local research universities for more in depth analysis ofour materials. This exposes our students to the larger scientific community

the students’ lack of abstraction,especially when seeking to understand Electromagnetism concepts. Many active learningmethodologies and cases are presented in the Classical Mechanics research, but there are fewreferences for Electromagnetism and Waves. Since 2013, the Physics course in MauaEngineering School has used an innovative method for teaching the concepts ofElectromagnetism and Waves in the Engineering Courses, which allows the student to gain adeeper understanding of Physics Concepts1.Characteristics of the developed projectAll projects were applied to all students in the basic cycle (2nd year of Engineering Course –Basic Physics) of the discipline Physics II (Electromagnetism and Waves) and were aimed atthe following:• using an
