engineering concepts through low-stakes practice, and as a means ofassessing student progress. One such strategy has been utilized in various courses at a small, privatecollege with a general engineering degree program. This homework approach encourages students toauthentically engage with engineering concepts by incentivizing completion over correctness andrequiring students to complete a metacognitive reflection following each assignment. This approach hasshown strong improvements in the homework habits adopted by the students.In fall 2019, this homework approach was adapted for use in a thermodynamics course at a large, publicresearch institution. Although there are a few practical differences in implementation at the two schools,the purpose is

. Hence, the key components of this review focus onlearning and pedagogy based on Computational Thinking. We develop a synthesis of suggestionsand explanations to answer the proposed questions based on literature from recent research incomputational thinking. As for the instructional implication, based on our initial analysis wepropose that a constructionism-based problem-solving active learning environment, withinformation processing, scaffolding and reflection activities, could be designed to enhancelearning through computational thinking.IntroductionIn recent years, Computational Thinking research has bloomed. Computational thinking is a 21stcentury way of problem-solving and is also a competency that has enduring outcomes given weare in the

research, (2) technical communication, (3) project management, (4)teamwork, (5) environmental health and safety, and (6) research ethics. Students can elect to take1, 2, or 3 credits of research each semester. Developing a concrete grading scheme that is both effective and efficient has long been adifficult task. To combat this problem, the co-author has implemented a specifications gradingapproach during the last three semesters (starting in Fall 2018). The defined specifications aremade up of two components: deliverables and hours of effort. The deliverables are comprised of mandatory university safety trainings to gain access tothe lab, responsible conduct of research training, educational and skills modules, reflections,planning

, 11, 12, 13, 14]. Some reported improvement inrelated exam scores [9, 10, 11]. Others found the practice increased students’ perception of theirown learning [13, 14]. Other approaches similar approaches require post-grading HW and examreflections where students must analyze their errors, reflect on what when wrong, and proposeadjustments to their study moving forward [15].Current Proposal/MethodsThe following approach has been used in 3 courses, ranging from a first-semester mathematicalmethods for engineers course to a 400-level analytical mechanics and vibration analysis course.Consistent with others emphasizing quizzes and exams over HW for grading [3, 5], the transitionin HW paralleled switching to a mastery-based grading scheme.

’ learning experience are detailed.Lastly, the course instructor and the research assistant discussed some of the improvements andunforeseen student behaviour. Note that the course instructor is a new engineering educator whowould like to share his course design, get feedback on the implemented course developments,and in general use this as an opportunity to self-reflect on the changes made to the course andhow they can be scaled for other offerings of the course in the future.IntroductionThis paper is about a numerical methods course in an engineering faculty at a Canadianuniversity. This is a common-core engineering course taken by primarily civil, mechanical, andgeomatics engineering students in either their second or third year. The topics in

Writing prompts: • What are some strengths of yours that other people have commented on, and how have these strengths affected your accomplishments? [16] • Do you feel as though you have a gift or calling? How can you share this gift or best answer the call in a way that will fulfill you? [17] 2. Reflect on your values. My core value is relationships. Indeed.com suggests that you might also ask the people who know you best what they believe you value. 3 Writing prompts

asked each participant to provide feedback on the usefulness of each of thesessions during the program. Survey data using a 5-point Likert scale rating each session as notat all useful to extremely useful is depicted in Figure 2. As Figure 2 denotes, participants deemedthe Faculty Panel most useful. As a caveat, we note that this may not necessarily reflect interestor lack thereof in a topic but may reflect how the topic was delivered.Figure 2. Usefulness of each session during the program.Overall impact of program on future career choiceA content analysis of participants’ perception of the overall impact of the program on their futurecareer choice showed the most frequent response to be motivation (summarized in Table 5).

electrical circuit with light and multimeter.The Sketchtivity and Mechanix tools continue to be adjusted by the Texas A&M UniversityComputer Science Sketch Recognition Lab (TAMU SRL) with the fine-tuning driven by bothprogrammatic efficiencies and instructor feedback. Students adapt well to the guidance providedin Sketchtivity and are drawn to the game. Mechanix is a greater challenge such that, whendeploying all three tools concurrently, students tend to abandon their work in Mechanix as toodifficult. Pre-teaching the truss analysis process, couched in curriculum, is critical to createfoundational understanding to best interpret the guidance and hints provided by the tool.At the end of the course I have students submit a reflection regarding

more severe. Onecurrent type of violation is contract cheating, first coined by Lancaster and Clarke in 2006, whichinvolves paying a third-party to complete an assignment instead of the student enrolled in theclass [4]. Some researchers have even discovered “ghost students,” in which a fee is paid foranother person or company to enroll in an online course for an entire semester on behalf ofsomeone else [5]. Even though contract cheating and ghost-students are extremely severeviolations because of the awareness of the deviousness of the act, the underlying motivations forthese types of violations often reflect the same causes as other forms of academic integrityviolations [4].Students have cited a variety of motivations for engaging in academic

students to reflect on how useful ClassTranscribe was for learning, preparing examsand working on assignments. Students reported favorable and similar utility in all threecategories (see the Lickert results presented in Fig. 5). Only one respondent chose “Not at alluseful.” Figure 5. Survey responses to the utility of ClassTranscribe for learning, preparing for exams and working on assignments in a bioengineering sophomore required laboratory course. Note for comparative visualization purposes, we conservatively represent “moderately useful” as a neutral response.These results are congruent with the survey results from earlier surveys in ECE and CS coursesthat have larger sample sizes which we report in the next section.The
