. The Model B Raspberry Pi has twicethe SDRAM, an additional USB 2.0 port (both of which are moved to an integrated 3-port USBhub,) and a 10/100 MBit/s Ethernet USB adapter which takes up one of these ports on the hub;the tradeoff is that the Model B takes 3.5W of power as opposed to the 1.5W required by theModel A. Both Models run on a variety of Linux distributions such as Raspbian (a DebianWheezy port) and Pidora (a Fedora port), in addition to other OS such as OpenElec and RISCOS. The official distributions are optimized for the CPU's ARMv6 instruction set and are freelyavailable for download, yet many more are available for download. 5 Nearly all distributions areLinux-based, with the notable exception of Plan 9 developed by Bell Labs

engineering degrees and reported thatunderrepresented ethnic minorities held 12.6% of B.S. degrees, 7.9% of M.S. and 4.6% of thePh.D.'s, and less than 10% of the faculty positions. Similarly, although women held 18.4% ofthe B.S degrees and 22% of the Ph.D.'s; only 13% of the faculty was women; of which only8.7% held the rank of full professor.19 Studies have also shown that the gap between male andfemale faculty was narrower in early career and widens significantly by 15 years after theirPh.D.18 Underrepresented minorities, both ethnic and gender based, need to comprise at least15% of academia before they can influence the culture and agenda.7The Computing Research Association for Women (CRA-W) has several mentoring programs forwomen in computer

However, „system analysis‟ approach provides a roadmap to theproblem-solving process, by which the reasoning activity is streamlined and generalized. Thismethod may also be employed to demonstrate to the students how to formulate either wordproblems or a design basis. It also helps the teachers to show to their students how to switchfrom rote memorization to critical thinking.‘System Analysis’ ApproachThe system analysis approach considers the definition of a system as composed of componentswhich interact with each other to produce output(s) based on inputs. The best way to define thebehavior of a system is to define the variables which govern the

and project timeline can be found in Table A.1 in AppendixA.Based on the feedback the course developers received after the course has been offered during2013 Fall session A, weekly units have been reordered for 2013 Fall session B, the details ofwhich can be found in Table A.2 in Appendix A. The main reason for the reordering was tomore evenly distribute the workload over the semester and give students more time to work onthe project. Units with time intensive activities were paired with units that did not require asmuch work. This seemed to have helped students better manage the workload and pace of thecourse.The course developers agreed that for the first half of the course, each unit should contain a fewshort video lectures, discussion(s

opportunity to hear the students’ voice and perceptions on peerfeedback experiences in the course; in that way it is an indicator of how well these assessmentopportunities are being integrated in the course. Brutus et al.30 stated that “one of the mainlimitations of [their] study is that it does not specify what, in the PES [peer evaluation system]experience, underlies the detected effects. Questions remain as to which component(s) ofstudents’ educational experience actually contributed to their increase in confidence withobservation” (p. 28). While previous studies have been able to demonstrate significant effectsthrough repeated uses of peer feedback during team projects, this study aims to explore theunderlying mechanisms that lead to those

therefore as being afraid of being wrong, but their highperformance on both assessment games regardless of condition suggests that they know how toapply these design thinking strategies related to “failing early and often” when given a context inwhich that is valued. Our results also offer an existence proof that the lower-tracked studentscan learn these strategies as well, and moreover that they benefit the most from learning designthinking strategies.REFERENCES[1] Kolodner, J.L., Camp, P.J., Crismond, D., Fasse, B., Gray, J., Holbrook, J., Puntambekar, S., & Ryan, M.

At least one instructor “flipped theclassroom” for this introductory portion, assigning students to watch several sustainability-related TED Talks8 outside of class and discussed and debated the topics in class. Followingthis, they were assigned a project consisting of the following five basic steps: 1. Identify a product with opportunities for improvement in sustainability. 2. Research product’s current design and manufacture. 3. Analyze sustainability of current design and manufacture. 4. Identify alternative design and manufacturing approaches which may increase product’s sustainability. 5. Communicate proposed solution(s) through written and oral summary reports.Some students at
