Here, we present a comparison of the efficacy of a hands-on integratedmode of conducting physics experiments via experiment-centric pedagogy (ECP) with thetraditional laboratory mode (non-ECP) of teaching undergraduate students enrolled in theIntroduction to Physics Experiment. We conclude that these two approaches are complementaryto one another. Undergraduate students who were enrolled in the Introduction to Physicslaboratory practical (N = 30) were a case study to elicit their epistemological beliefs aboutphysics laboratory work and their views on social engagement and academic anxiety. Parametricand nonparametric comparisons of central tendency were employed to measure the meandifferences between students using the ECP mode and non

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

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

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

Also, the difficulty undergraduate students have in making connectionsbetween their theory teachings and their practical exercises, as well as how pertinent these labsessions are to their everyday lives, has led to the conclusion that physics experiments are highlyabstract. This study used low-cost, interactive, code-free, portable technology to improve students’practical experiences and report how these experiments are applied in everyday activities. Thestudy involved 50 STEM students registered for the Introduction to physics laboratory course.According to the students’ feedback and the motivated strategy for learning questionnairesadopted, they were very

. Ultimately, the solution to the lack of dedicated engineering space was simple (butnot easy): construct a new building. However, building a new space on campus requiresinstitutional support and a funding source. The College President and College Advancementoffice began raising funds to design and build an addition to the existing science center. Theseefforts culminated in the construction in 2017 of a joint Engineering and Biomedical SciencesHall, which included a dedicated engineering laboratory, an engineering computation lab, amodern teaching classroom, three faculty offices, and two “project labs” intended to provideworkspace for Engineering and Integrated Science design, research, and capstone projects.However, shortly after construction was
