game’s primary mechanism, although a captivatingchallenge for its game mechanics, was not configured to address many of the key pedagogicalgoals associated with the introduction of thermodynamic properties, their inter-dependency, andthe unique features of the properties in the subcooled, two-phase, and superheated regions. Arelatively cool reaction to the game by the students was reflected in all three evaluation methodsand resulted in a significant re-direction of the game’s features.Along with a list of specific pedagogical goals, the game’s re-direction includes a set ofprofessional practice scenarios, and a completely new set of game mechanisms. Additional gamefeatures, including a novel in-game assessment tool that is based on a

were other subjects discussed during the second half of the project.Midterm Project AssessmentFor the midterm assessment, worth 5% of the course grade, students were asked to address threekey questions with their deliverables: • Is there a clear vision for the roller coaster design? • Are the technical skills necessary to complete the design being developed? • How can the time and resources remaining in the semester be budgeted to ensure a successful project outcome?Each of these big picture questions was explored in more detail by individual deliverables: aproject proposal, preliminary calculations, and reflections. No fixed format was specified foreach of these deliverables, but certain items needed to be included.In the

success,as indicated by parameters like higher course pass rates, higher Grade Point Averages, creditaccumulation, retention, and graduation rates11. Skills can be taught which are consistent acrossprograms, as well as customized to fit individual courses12. E-portfolios can support assessmentby identifying goals and providing a repository for organizing, storing, and sharing records. It isinstructionally valuable in that students can connect their own work with the broader programexpectations, thus self-evaluating their status. Students can engage in reflection, which maydevelop their critical thinking skills.This study is a follow-up to a previous study made by the researchers13 (see Bose & Pakala

Narratives aims to provide students with a toolkit for successfulcommunication in contemporary society and the workplace. This integrated course experience invitesstudents to reflect and use diverse ways of communication in the digital era. During one semester,participants were introduced to oral, written, visual and auditory techniques of communication, anddocumented through various digital media artifacts. Page 26.127.3Our value proposition that artistic storytelling can help students think, communicate and aid in theiremotional wellbeing is backed by a long history of scholarship. Such seminal articles as K. Egan’s“Memory, Imagination

lectureAlthough the first author was mindful that the FYS audience drew from all of the majors acrosscampus (liberal arts and non-liberal arts) and needed to address the nature and value of criticalthinking, the choice of the subject matter and its treatment reflected the usual direction of theconversation about the discipline of the liberal arts in engineering. As a case study of theapplication of critical thinking, the lecture delves into conspiracy theories regarding the collapseof the World Trade Center Towers on 9-11. The opportunity to prepare for the plenary lecturegave the first author the motivation to seriously consider the efforts by a handful of engineersand architects to reopen the investigation of the collapse as part of the 9-11 Truth
