knowledge gain assessmentcomposed of 15 questions asking about the variables and units in 15 of the equations that studentslearn in the course (See Fig. 2). One of the questions asked about an equation that was not includedin the finalized syllabus; answers to this question were therefore not included in the analysispresented in this paper. In this survey, students were also asked four additional questions regardingwhat success meant for them; about their preparation for the course including which previouscourses they had taken in mathematics, physics, and chemistry; and about their expectations forthe instructor.A second portion of the pre-test/post-test offered to the intervention groups asked about studentattitudes toward learning the material

introduce students to programming and electronics with an emphasis on problemsolving skills. Further work will attempt to measure the impact of this programmingintroduction on student’s development within the engineering and physics curriculum,particularly with learning outcomes and student feedback.AcknowledgmentsThe author wishes to thank his colleagues Dr. Darby Hewitt, Dr. Lori Houghtalen, and Dr. TimKennedy for their work in developing the Introduction to Engineering and Physics course andimplementing the Arduino activities discussed here.References[1] P.
