power control or fan speed control is required. Students in an instrumentation or controlscourse could use the USB interface to the Arduino to collect data and/or reprogram the Arduino toperform feedback control.Six of the devices with varying sized heat sinks were used in a trial homework assignment in anundergraduate heat transfer course with 75 students in Spring 2015 and in another section of thesame course with 57 students in Winter 2016. At this point, we have no quantitative assessmentdata.OverviewThough laboratory exercises are a standard part of an engineering curriculum, there are a widevariety of ways that labs can be implemented. In recent years a number of simple experimentshave been developed that help to make laboratory

Frazier [17], there are five pedagogical areas that can beintegrated into the classroom with relative ease: 1. Integrate Active, Collaborative, and Problem-Based Learning – ACL and PBL techniques are well known and have been shown to assist in developing creativity and engagement in students [30]. 2. Help Students Extract Answers from an Ocean of Information – While most iGen students are adept at finding answers to surface questions through technology, many are poor at finding information that is harder to find. Students should be encouraged to seek the assistance of technical librarians in finding credible, peer-reviewed research. 3. Assess Often and Provide Feedback – iGen students are characterized

This principle guides computing education policies, standards, curriculum, and teachingmethods, driving initiatives like ”Computer Science for All” [3].Equity-enabling education research is research that supports the needs for achieving equity ineducation, including providing ...the evidence needed for decision-makers and educators to advocate, support, and deliver computing education in K-12 classrooms that lead to equitable access, participation, and experiences (and therefore outcomes) among all students. Equity-enabling education research, by its very nature and necessity, must meet quality standards to provide meaningful evidence for

However, these initiatives tend to be top-down or centralized changes across the sector, which fall short of addressing the goals of decolonization as articulated in Indigenous studies. Indigenous studies emphasize dismantling central control as an integral piece of decolonization, making this

The author also shares many of the same or similar disabilities with those who were interviewed. Although this alignment was unintentional, it ended up being an integral aspect of the interview process that allowed for greater comfortability and vulnerability in interviews. We believe that this aspect of shared identity amongst the researcher and students helped foster richness in the data and a deepened understanding of student experiences during analysis.

changes to requirements of accreditation [19] andprofessional formation development [20].Giacomin [16] citing Von Hippel [21], discusses the economic benefits of human-centreddesigning, however, Niles et al. [22], [23], have found that engineering students seem tostruggle with and resist social context and engagement with public welfare concerns andsocial consciousness in engineering– which are factors relevant to their engagement withhuman-centred designing.This paper stands with these ongoing calls for the engagement and integration of such notionsin a civil engineering curriculum, and so we propose a psychology-informed approach. Thisis to facilitate these integrations, but with the intention of bypassing the possible resistance –by

way of determining aconcept’s importance.Keywords: cognitive domain, mental models, undergraduate engineeringIntroductionLearning is an integral part of our lives. Each one of us learns the same things differently based onour preferred way of learning. We can learn by building mental models; through feelings,emotions, attitudes; and by physical movements. Based on this, the domains of learning are broadlycategorized as cognitive (knowledge), affective (attitudes), and psychomotor (skills) [1]. Eachdomain of learning focuses on one of three ways the brain can be engaged in learning. Thecognitive domain is focused on mental processes or thinking, the affective domain focuses onfeelings, attitudes, and behaviors, and the psychomotor domain
consensus was to redesign the camp asa hybrid learning program where participants worked their way through a daily online curriculumthat resulted in the design and build of a model rocket that was then launched as a part of theculminating experience for the camp. The camp was designed so that students logged into NicheAcademy, an online learning management system, to complete 4 days of sequenced curriculum thatincluded lessons on the physics of flight, engineering design, and model rocket building skills. Eachday included rocket design or building activities. On day 3, participants submitted their designsimulations for review and approval. Once the designs were reviewed for stability and approved,participants could complete their rocket builds for

Students who failed to meet these criteriawould be given an additional semester of aid on a provisional basis. In these cases, intensivecounseling would be provided. Active participation in program events was critical to generalsuccess of the program. In cases where students did not actively participate in at least 75% ofscheduled activities, they were counseled that they were
