But really, it's figure out the correct suite of tools to apply to the problem,apply those and then justify that answer. That's the intent.While there were baseline characteristics of good assessment practices such as rubrics and scaffolding, hesaw that students’ approach to learning did not use those elements as he (and other faculty) perceivedthem.

Jones found that female students did have lower self-efficacy, but not necessarilyto a statistically significant level. In Hutchison et.al.

Feedback for improvement. Students suggested incorporating lab-based assignments utilizing MotionGen earlier in the semester to better prepare for the project and aid in visualizing mechanisms. Additionally, they recommended assigning the project during the initial weeks of the class and providing the rubric upfront. These changes would allow for more time to plan and complete the project, accommodating the demands of other classes and commitments while enhancing their overall learning experience.Table 1.

However, teamwork isnot always well defined. Perusich et al [1] has defined teamwork as 1.) the ability to beinterdependent in tasks, 2.) to share responsibility for outcomes, and 3.) to work together as anintact social entity. Shuman et al [2] defined teamwork skills to include the ability to solicitinput from the team, the ability to build consensus and resolve conflicts, and leadership skills.Chowdhury and Murzi [3] defined teamwork by a set of attributes including: shared

These profiles are clamped on one side andloaded by a point load at the free end for the static experiments. Due to the different bendingstiffnesses, different deflections are achieved with the different profiles, even though theyweigh the same. To convince the participating audience, these beams should be easilyremovable for weight comparison.Another topic of the planned workshops is the deliberate shift of the natural frequencies of astructure through a suitable selection of the profiles to avoid undesirable resonances whilemaintaining the weight of the structure.

EJ is an individual’s capacity to determine and execute tasks that willhave a predicted outcome [5, 6]. When engineers work in the real world, many times projectswill require the engineer to come up with solutions which cannot be found inside of codes ormanuals. When following a structural engineering firm, the engineers were able to analyzebuilding plans and make changes to designs based on previous knowledge [7].
