Multidisciplinary learning environments such as integrated STEM courses arepowerful spaces where computational thinking skills can be cultivated. However, it is not clearthe best ways to integrate computational thinking instruction or how students developcomputational thinking in those spaces

During the last few years, ourinstitution, a large private multi-campus Mexican university, has been preparing for these newchallenges changing the educational model from
computer engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His goal is to connect his core engineering skills with fields in which he can make cross-disciplinary connections and accelerate progress, like physics education. He joined the POINT team (Physics Outreach and Instruction through New Technologies) to focus on the outreach and research efforts.Katherine Zine, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Paper ID #38032 I am a first year physics graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

engineering and energy conservationgoing into the project, so much time was spent learning about the core knowledge behind theproject. After focusing and learning about how to generate and store energy, the team decided onpiezoelectric technology. Most of the team had not been exposed educationally to piezoelectricity,which made the project a new and exciting experience. This knowledge has helped the team inclasses outside the project and aided in making connections with real life systems as well.The team also developed skills when prototyping, redesigning, and manufacturing the product.Developing the prototype gave the team clarity into the priorities of the project and the problemsto overcome. After obtaining a more physical understanding of the
precipitation could disrupt or damage the system or hurt the user. With more time, betterresources, and a bigger budget, we believe this could easily be done by having the technology builtinside the chair and/or design casing to shelter it. Aesthetics would improve with this as well. Ourconcept, fortunately, proved to work. We believe if we were able to build a wheelchair from scratchto work with our idea, like making the spokes closer together to hit the gear more often, we couldhave pulled off all our goals.Although there are still points of improvement for the Hot Wheel, but we have gained a multitudeof valuable experiences that have shaped our view of engineering and educated us on theimportance of persistence and collaboration.

atraditional laboratory setting. The aim is to promote agency and participation in all students,make the experimentation process more agile and dynamic, enhance student engagement, andmake the experimentation process more flexible.This study aims to examine student perceptions of their learning experience in a physicslaboratory course taught using digital tools instead of traditional laboratory facilities. The centralresearch question being addressed is: How do students perceive active learning in a physicslaboratory course prepared using technology?The is a quantitative research study in which participated over 500 first-year engineering andscience major students in a laboratory course. The students completed a pre-and-post surveybefore and after an
