Paper ID #38566Promoting Computational Thinking in Integrated Engineering Design andPhysics LabsDr. Ruben D. Lopez-Parra, University of New Mexico Ruben D. Lopez-Parra is a Post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering at University of New Mexico. His Ph.D. is in Engineering Education from Purdue University and he has worked as a K-16 instructor and curriculum designer using various evidence-based active and passive learning strategies. In 2015, Ruben earned an M.S. in Chemical Engineering at Universidad de los An- des in Colombia where he also received the title of Chemical Engineer in

in carrying out the experiment of thesituation worked on in class. Finally, students, working in groups, carry out theexperimentation and reflect on it at the end. This reflection occurs in their working groups.The modified ILD combines the theoretical class (mainly exposition by the instructor) withthe experimental class to offer students an integrative experience. This study involved 47students from two groups of a first-year university course in acoustical physics.Applying the modified ILD methodology, a qualitative study was conducted analyzing thestudents' responses to the guides and their conclusions. This study presents the results of theanalysis with a focus on determining the students' scientific skills in obtaining data

courses for many years. However, only a relatively small number of faculty at mosttraditional universities had received formal distance learning training and were actually teachingin an online platform. Oftentimes these courses were in one way or another a “specialty” courseoffering and were often taught in disciplines outside of STEM. For those courses that hadsuccessfully integrated digital platforms, online learning provided a carefully designed learningecosystem [1]. One of the objectives of these learning ecosystems was to increase access tolearning opportunities through the incorporation of synchronous, asynchronous, flippedclassroom and independent study activities designed to simulate the active learning environment,even in remote

perceptions of difficulty and timedemands. The overall results of the survey show a high level of student satisfaction. The studentsperceive that with the course, they developed the disciplinary and transversal competenciesdeclared in the course objectives. They value the relevance of physics, mathematics, andcomputer science as an interdisciplinary aspect of the course and their professional practice.Their perception of difficulty and time demands is neutral.Keywords: challenge-based learning, higher education, educational innovation, competencydevelopment, interdisciplinarity, physics education.IntroductionUniversities face the challenges of an integrated, globalized world, which have created the needfor educational models based on competency
