The objective is todesign each kit to be assembled for under $100 while replicating the educational functionality ofa lab bench in a university controls laboratory. This will also allow older analog computers to beupdated with newer technology that is more representative of what is currently used in industry1.This hardware kit will replace expensive equipment with an

uncertain how to adjust their instruction tomotivate their students. Many instructors who design new laboratory-based and project-basedinstruction to boost motivation find that these efforts are often greeted by apathy or resistancefrom the students. This situation is further exacerbated by curriculum (re)design efforts whichemphasize the presentation and transmission of course material rather than everyday teachingdecisions that motivate, or demotivate, the students to learn the material3. Based on the premise that educational psychology must inform the practice of teaching4,this primer first presents and synthesizes a selection of recent theories of motivation. With thesetheories as a backdrop, we discuss how these theories can be used in

demonstrated the value ofdevelopmental experiences conducted in concert with post-graduate advisors to foster identitydevelopment and increase the academic performance of undergraduate engineering students. Thisstudy sought to provide an example of this precedent as applied to an undergraduate student. Auto-ethnographic memos were used as evidence of the student’s identity development. These memoswere used to record a diverse collection of experiences occurring concurrently with the study toinclude; advisor meetings, a summer internship with a national research laboratory, challengesencountered, and individual reflections. Key takeaways from the author’s developmentalexperience were changes in technical competence, technical collaboration, and

The students in the experimentalgroups were normalized against the other students in their method. The students in the controlgroup were normalized against the control group population. The normalized frequencies werecomputed as follows:This approach was taken due to the significant difference in the size of the groups. A simplefrequency distribution would make it virtually impossible to compare the control andexperimental groups. By normalizing the frequency distribution, the scale is adjusted so that thegroups can be compared.In addition to

The second wasstudying for the purpose of understanding the knowledge discussed in class in order to be readyfor tests and examinations.Some of the students’ comments give a sense of how the idea of completing an assignment is notnecessarily considered ‘studying’: “[In] my Math class, I

From this dataset, we are able to analyze whether factors such as varying experiencelevels and TA roles (such as discussion mediation versus laboratory instruction) affect differentcomponents of their students’ grades. When analyzing our dataset we sought to answer three basic questions: First, do TAs producestatistically significant differences in the grades of their students when compared to other TAs inthe same course? Second, if there are differences, what components of the assessment processare affected? Finally, is there a correlation between the amount of previous teaching experiencea TA has and the grade outcomes of that TA’s students? We
