In utilizing the “think aloud''method, students have the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of the topic or concept.Their ability to answer the question(s) in a complete manner is assessed using a predeterminedrubric. Examiners may provide hints, delve deeper into a particular aspect, and dynamicallyadjust questions to facilitate further discussion. This is in stark contrast to the traditional writtenexamination in which students are given fixed questions on a written test in which they wouldread thoroughly and write their answers on paper [5].

The most pressing challenge for these courses in an online-onlyenvironment was ensuring students access to essential equipment and materials to design andconstruct a physical prototype. In general, programs responded to this challenge in one of threeways: (1) abandoning physical prototyping for an entirely “paper design” project; (2) requiringstudents to purchase third party construction

Performance on this assignment was compared across thedifferent teams, sections, and individual students’ results, with the goal being to determine ifcertain team formation strategies have a beneficial effect on performance for both the teams andthe individuals. Analysis of the data indicates that student-selected teams performed better onthe team assignment than teams formed using other strategies, but the observed improvementwas not statistically significant. We believe this was due to the small sample size. In addition,while there was no statistical difference in the incoming average student GPA for differentcourse sections, the incoming GPA of students did have a

Therefore, a process of peer mentoring was relied on with more experienced studentsleading the development of new students on the project. As students rotated off the project (dueto graduation or other responsibilities) efforts were made to ensure that new students were fullytrained by the time they would need to take over tasks.III.
