The corresponding research question is: RQ 2) Didstudents feel more engaged by the FRC game than by traditional teaching techniques such aslecturing and reading?The FRC game was incorporated into a 3rd year core course in civil engineering with 117enrolled students taught by Dr. Nadine Ibrahim at the University of Waterloo. Ibrahimemphasizes the topics of systems thinking, decision-making, and project management—the FRCgame was linked to the decision-making. Three Teaching Assistants (TAs) were trained asfacilitators prior to the game to help facilitate the class (in addition to the 6 FRC Teamfacilitators) and to support students’ preparation which included reading documents, watching avideo on how to play

Looking back on the long-ranged projects, the one of greatest importance, one in which we have learned about our own teaching while using the resource, is as follows : The more highly educational a piece and/or the overall parts of content become, the more diverse the individual learning and mastering processes become, and consequently, there may be more opportunities to mutually share a domain for the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor ones with the advance of (re)confirmations, not only in

Undoubtedly, engineeringstudents across the country are getting plenty of practice solving problems outside the classroomin the form of homework, but for most engineering programs, the only time professors get toobserve their students solving engineering problems might be during laboratory hours or whileadvising on a design project. By observing our students, we gain invaluable feedback about theirknowledge and problem solving abilities. Therefore, why not observe our students
