objectives and cognitive load. Literature is also silent on howmany learning objectives are pursued in a typical laboratory activity.Consequently, relating laboratory activities to cognitive load requires more work. Theoreticaland qualitative work can define better categorizing features of a laboratory, and ensure thosefeatures predict learning and perceptions of difficulty. Quantitative work can probe theunsupported relationships in the logic model. Finally, specialization is probably a widespreadbehavior, and more work qualitative and quantitative should document stories of specialization,the conditions that create specialization, and how specialization affects learning.REFERENCES[1] E.

, girls were found to draw male scientists three times more often than female scientists[31]. Similar trends were found in Capobianco et al.’s [23] study. About 40% of the engineersthat first grade girls drew were female and about 30% were male, but when examining thedrawings of fifth grade girls, just under 60% drew male engineers and about 30% drew femaleengineers. Given the age of the participants, previous research suggests it is likely that theywould draw male engineers.The study took place in the context of a Girl Scout troop environment. This may have influenced theparticipants’ conception of engineers for several reasons. First, the national Girl Scout organizationrecently began a significant focus on STEM opportunities within the

Therefore, Agile educationcould increase student accountability, and perhaps deter cheating. Additionally, the rising use of large-scale, transformer-based models in daily life is apparent: students have and willuse them during the course of their education [16].

Difference in Brain ActivationThe brain activations were averaged across all brain waves and across all brain regions for eachDesign Problem. Utilizing a t-test, it was determined that there were significant changes in brainactivations across multiple regions and across the varying waves. To further the conclusions ofthe results, a t-test was applied to each set to the individual brain waves to decisively determinewhich brain wave(s) and brain regions caused these strong correlations. The results of this testindicated that the Beta Low frequency was the most

Collating, summarizing, reporting results There were 90 papers identified from the first two databases that included “graduateprogram director” and “engineering” as search terms in the title/abstract/subject and 70 identifiedresults in the last database that searched specifically for “graduate program director” in all fields.In the screening phase, a total of 147 were screened and 134 excluded followinginclusion/exclusion criteria which included the title and abstract review and a skim of the fulltext when needed, thus leaving 13 records for analysis
search inquiry keywords were personal narratives, stories, engineering, classroom,university, college, students, STEM, education, intervention, pedagogy, and psychology. Throughiterative searching using these keywords, some new keywords were added (e.g., expressivewriting intervention) and removed (e.g., students). Ultimately, we ended up using the followingkeywords: engineering, education, narrative(s), personal narrative, storytelling, story, stories, 5psychology, STEM, college, university, expressive writing intervention, pedagogy, curriculum.At the same time, our target samples were post-secondary students in higher education, such thatwe

AllCFD simulations for design 1 used an input fluid velocity of 9.8 ft/s and an output ofenvironmental pressure. Simulations were made using water as the fluid passing through thevalve. Fifty flow lines were used at the entrance of each simulation. The simulation results,shown in Figure 2, concluded that there was a great flow through the complex geometry of thechannel. The advantage of first simulating the design is that there is a higher chance of successand predictability when fabricated. Figure 2: CFD simulation results using SolidWorks Flow
