Table 1 Responses Citing the One-Week Chair of Scrap project Subject Q# Response (actual quotes in italics) I vividly remember the chair project that he assigned at the very beginning, and that probably had the biggest impact on me; I still talk about it med[ical] school interviews. Like when I was interviewing for med[ical] school I would always bring that up describing the engineering design process.

interesting ideas andhave conducted Q&A sessions for the first years. • What they like: They like being part a cross-departmental academic community, getting greater exposure to project classes, getting access to highly sought-after project classes, mentoring by NEET faculty (which is helping them to shape their paths), and that the threads are in areas that are likely to be in demand when they graduate. It is important to them that the duration of their degree will remain the same as what it would have been if they had not been in NEET. • What could be improved: They feel that: the project experience should start in sophomore fall itself (rather than waiting till sophomore spring) and these could be
Richard Mu. We are especially grateful toEE lab manager Steven Clark for putting up with our constant (and usually panicked) requests forparts and supplies. Finally and perhaps most importantly, we want to acknowledge the dozens ofTAs who have been the public face of the course and who have poured countless hours into ourstudents.References [1] S.

SS means statistically significant with arrowindicating a statistically significant increase or decrease while HIGH means an average responseof 4 or higher on both the pre-test data and the post-test data.

: Class Time Activity Needed Description Take a short break and invite students compare their notes with a Comparing neighbor, filling in any gaps. Afterward, optionally follow up this Notes 1-2 min activity with a short Q&A session based on any confusing points. End class 2 minutes early and ask students to write down Minute Paper (anonymously or not) the main point of today's class, and/or the / Muddiest most pressing question or confusing point from today's class. Begin Point 1-2 min the next class by addressing any common questions
can enhance students’engagement and develop their process of learning. However, there is a lack of well-organizedguidelines (Azmi et al., 2015).In one study, Ibanez et al. (2014) developed a Q-learning game platform to investigate the effectsof gamification on a learning activity targeted at basic concepts of C programming language toundergraduate students. According to the mixed-methods study, gamified learning activities had asignificant positive impact on the students’ engagement and improved their academicperformance. Game elements such as badges, points, leaderboard, and altruism were inserted intothis game platform. Students reported that points were the most motivating element to participatein activities.

Like, its just literally multiplying numbers together, no integration, super simple, um, and yeah, that was the most serious thing I did. And I was astounded at the time, I was so surprised.Later in the conversation, Andrew expands on the main challenges that he actually did faceduring his internships, characterizing them as “cultural.” While we return to this theme below indiscussing the sociotechnical character of Andrew’s work, here it is
experiment with actual experimental results. 3. Demonstrate the beginnings of professional practice: a. Effectively communicate in written form the design, completion, and analysis of experiments to answer open-ended questions. b. Effectively communicate by oral presentation and Q-and-A session the design, completion, and analysis of experiments to answer open-ended questions.We have assessed these objectives with both direct and indirect measures since the beginning ofthe course. A full discussion of the objectives, assessment, and changes to the course far exceedsthe scope of this paper. For this paper we are focused on Objectives 1b (data acquisition), 2a(design & complete experiments), and 2c (compare
