Pedagogy, Gravity Model, Learning Outcomes1. IntroductionMore and more educators agree that games can be used as effective tools for their educationpractice. Until now, most game-involved education practices are for K-12 group [1, 2]. At thesame time, it’s rare to find games being used for higher education. This phenomenon existsbecause the target knowledge for K-12 group can be more easily delivered through existinggames, when compared to the target knowledge in higher education.The nature of transportation education requires students to observe, design, and interact with thetransportation system. Unlike chemical engineering, transportation experiments require largescale field experimentation and have human factor impacts, so lab-work-based

Although the number of flipped, engineering classrooms is growing across the country,there is limited research on the impact of flipped classrooms in terms of student achievement andmotivation in engineering at the university level [2]. However, there are studies that have shownthat video lectures outperform in-person lectures, specifically those that are interactive and

Specifically, this research addresses thequestions, (1) “can student-developed games demonstrate mastery of student learning?” and (2)“does student performance improve when engaged in game design as compared to a morepassive assignment?” This paper describes the development of three game design approaches andtheir effectiveness as assessment methods. Each game design approach utilizes active andexperiential learning; students apply the concepts learned throughout the semester in the designof a board game that their peers will play at the end of the class. Student-developed games enablethe instructor to assess student mastery of course content through games designed entirely bystudents. The balance of this paper presents game design

All of the students were partof a flipped coursed that was implemented similar to the course of reference.15The first analysis was with respect to the flipped courses. All survey questions can be seen inAppendix A and the students were instructed to mark all of the answers that apply. Thequestions asked were, when do you typically view the online flipped notes and when do you readthe textbook for the flipped course? The available survey response answers were: never, beforethe assigned class, after the assigned class, before starting homework

Spatial ability is defined as theprocesses of constructing, maintaining, and manipulating three-dimensional (3D) objects inone’s mind [1, 2, 3] and considered to have multiple subfactors [4, 5] such as spatialvisualization, spatial orientation, and speed rotation [6]. Research studies that discussed theroles of spatial ability in engineering education have primarily focused on the spatialvisualization, which is the main factor of spatial ability [7]. Some widely used spatialvisualization tests in engineering education [8, 9, 10] include the Purdue Spatial VisualizationTest: Rotations (PSVT: R) [11], the Vandenberg

survey, student’s feedback at the end of the class,and instructor’s self-assessment.I. INTRODUCTIONTo control a system in order to get a desired performance has been the longest desire of engineersand planners. The control requirements may be of different kinds: a) to stabilize an unstable system,b) to change the state of a system from one to another, C) to track the output of a system to a knownvariable, and d) to regulate the performance of a system in the face of variable inputs, loading ofoutput, disturbances and external noise. The list is endless depending on the type of application.Learning to control a system requires learning and developing a repertoire of tools for 1. Modeling of systems, 2.

Thesampling of what was recorded was determined by the problems the students decided to work ontogether in the group. Some recorded sessions begin with students having started the problems inthe problem set while others work on all four problems from start to finish together. While this isnot ideal for research purposes, it captures the authentic ways in which students work and doesnot require them to do anything out of the ordinary as a participant in this study.Table 1: Overview of Data Corpus Group Assignments
