. Researchers suggest the inclusion of components of the lab activities into lecture materialsand having students being required to apply the formula they would be given in the lab to theactivities they would engage with in the lecture class. In doing this students would be better ableto connect what they are learning in the lecture class with the lab activities. Linking lab andlecture provides students with the opportunity to practice what they learn as a collective processas oppose to disconnecting the two areas. In addition, the use of technology in support ofcreating active learning activities within the engineering classroom has been known to haveremarkable benefits [15]. In this classroom, teacher and students all have a Tablet PC called

Page 24.465.2Efficiency in higher educationThe demand for higher education is increasing significantly [1]. The world today is facingchallenges that motivate the growth of technology in every aspect of life [2]. From 2000 to2010, the number of full-time undergraduates increased by 45% and the number part timeundergraduates increased by 27%.Although the number of engineering BS degrees increased by 5% in 2012 and MS degreesincreased by 6%, there are still unmet needs.

Utilizing eye-tracking technology allows to discover the visual attention patterns of students’ while solvingengineering problems, and to investigate the significant factors impacting their performance,including spatial thinking ability, and their understanding of specific concepts. Once suchpatterns of visual attention are discovered, they can be leveraged to detect the most challengingconcepts, and may enable instructors to provide more targeted help to students.In this paper, the visual attention during solving engineering problems (here, solid mechanicsproblems) of 18 undergraduate students was evaluated using eye tracking.

This context shapes whathappens in colleges and universities. In engineering, external and sociocultural factorstake a variety of forms of influence. The globalization of markets for goods and labor aswell as advances in technology are sociocultural forms of influence. New and evolvingdemands on engineers in the workplace similarly act as external forces that may influencethe instructional decisions of faculty members.
