The students were required to read andcomprehend the proposed physical model and experiment procedure outlined in the originalpaper. They then had to adapt it to the available equipment in our university laboratory. Oncethe teams had collected data, they were to analyze and compare it with the physical modelingof the observed phenomenon. Finally, they were to create a self-explanatory videopresentation, limited to 10 minutes, where the student teams explained the physicalphenomenon, the modeling, the experiment conducted, and the analysis and conclusionsdrawn. The PBL approach allows students to have a better understanding of importantphysical theories

This work is focused on Applied PhysicsSeminars where students by using a simulator software "Speed Calculations for TrafficAccidents" – SCTA study the process of collision in a real situation, developing a role similarto the one performed by a forensic investigator where by means of the skid mark and type ofpavement he can estimate the initial vehicle speed. In the Physics laboratory, teams of studentsmust: 0) Read the original paper about "Speed Calculations for Traffic Accidents" and payattention for general teacher’s explanation during class laboratory, 1) Use Design Thinkingmethodology for project

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. We examined course materials to identify where writing is explicitly or implicitly referenced, the genres that were assigned, and writing concepts that were represented. Analyzing course materials allowed us to identify a wide range of activities and assignments related to writing. We observed that implicit references to writing are prevalent, writing activities are weighted toward upper-level classes, and the most common genres are related to laboratory activities. Writing concepts that occurred frequently in upper-level laboratory courses correspond to disciplinary values of precision and clarity, while concepts of novelty and evidence were infrequent. This

complete tendirected laboratory projects and a final comprehensive project at the end of the semester.Students must maintain laboratory manuals for each activity. The program requires the use of thePython scripting language throughout upper division coursework. The department is changing itscurriculum to introduce coding in the 1st-year physics sequence. To reinforce these skills, theelectronics course will introduce the use of Jupyter Notebooks (JN) as the laboratory notebookformat. A JN is a web-based platform that allows students to create cells of code or text. Textcells provide a platform for students to describe the “what, why, and how” of theirmeasurements. Code cells can run Python (or many other programming languages) code. Thisallows

eventual goal of ABET accreditation.The biggest limitation of the new program was space. Engineering is a hands-on discipline fullof lab- and project-based courses that require dedicated lab space, appropriate lab equipment, aworkshop with appropriate fabrication tools, computer labs with engineering software, studentproject “dirty floor” space, and faculty and staff office space. When the program launched in2013, the only dedicated space for Engineering was two faculty offices. An introductory designlab was held in a Physical and Chemical Sciences non-majors laboratory space, which offeredlittle in the way of fabrication tools or storage space for design projects. A MATLABprogramming course was held in a general computing lab on which the

The goal of this multidisciplinary approach to teaching physics was topromote students’ conceptual understanding of physics while fostering scientific inquiry,mathematical modeling, ED skills, and CT. In this context, we proposed the following researchquestion to better understand the undergraduate students’ learning of CT in a multidisciplinarySTEM environment:To what extent does engaging students in integrated engineering design and physics labs impacttheir development of computational thinking

theteaching and learning of a physics course through the students' perception. The modifiedILD has the same three stages as the original ILD, with two main differences in whoperforms the experiment and when it is performed. Specifically, the three phases in themodified ILD are 1) predict, 2) experiment (by students working in groups, not theinstructor), and 3) reflect (in groups, not individually). The first phase, prediction, beginswith the analysis of a physical situation in which students have to predict the behavior ofthe situation based on the knowledge imparted in the session by the instructor. This occursat the end of the instructor's exposition. The second phase occurs in the laboratory sectionof the course and relates to students' experience

In themodified version, this stage is very similar. The instructor conducts a demonstration withmeasurements (often involving graphs collected with microcomputer-based laboratory tools)displayed or shared on a suitable platform (such as multiple monitors, an LCD, or a computerprojector). In the modified ILD methodology, students engage in a group experiment related tothe scenario presented by the professor, utilizing PhET simulations. They complete a resultssheet, where they are encouraged to write their conclusions and compare them with theirpredictions.Table 1. Original ILD [21] versus

Smartphones thus represent small, transportablemeasurement laboratories. The project presented in this paper focuses on the latter point, inwhich the sensors installed in smartphones are used to carry out quantitative experiments. Themain advantages of the devices are to be exploited, which are reflected in their
