All students included some form of the concept map on thepersonal reference sheets permitted for exams; however, only two students appeared to havemodified the map shared by the instructor. Future work will include student-developed conceptmaps, as well as self-reported data from student surveys on the effectiveness of concept maps inthe heat transfer course.References [1] Greitzer, E., & Soderholm, D.

72000). Trust is defined by Avolio et al., (2000) quoting (Mayer, Davis, & Schoorman , 1995, p.712) as “the willingness of a team member to be vulnerable to the actions of other teammember(s) based on the expectation that the other(s) will perform a particular action important tothe trustor, irrespective of the ability to monitor or control other team member(s).”Trust is critical in virtual work since direct supervision, similarity in backgrounds, andexperience and a common form of social control in traditional workforce are not feasible. Hence,leadership in virtual workforce should facilitate the formation of trust building in a virtualworkforce context. As a result, the effects of leadership on trust should not be underestimated.Since

Due to its pervasive usefulness, the concept of M&S is widelyused across many sectors, including manufacturing, warehouse operations, supply chain, logistics,transportation, mining, and many more. The field of M&S requires computer-intensive andsoftware-based training, which is very different from teaching in a regular classroom setting.Hence, we develop a three-stage (mimic-guide-scaffold

]. There are two components of the framework, instructional complexityand structural complexity [2]. Instructional complexity refers to the latent characteristics of thecurriculum, such as the quality of instruction. Currently, the instructional complexity is proxiedby pass/fail rates; little work has been done to expand this metric, with some exceptions likeHilliger et al.’s [12] mixed methods grounded theory study on what makes engineering coursesdemanding. Still, pass/fail rates appear sufficient for simulation studies [2,8].Next, structural complexity involves representing a plan of study as a network, where eachvertex is a course and the edges connecting them are the pre- and corequisites. Each course isassigned a delay factor, the longest

Anecdotally,the changes which have been piloted in flipping the order of introduction of content and activelearning activities during instructor-led class sessions have thus far been very well received. Thework is being embraced and enthusiastically incorporated into the AY22-23’s version of thecourse. As shown in figure 1 the control portion of the study will run during the Spring ’22 term.The impact of the redesign will be measured when comparing these results to those gatheredduring AY22-23 across the five above-mentioned methods.
