This paper presents such a development that augments anexisting learning game, Gridlock, with an adaptive learning engine that assesses what reallyhappens when a student’s capacity is sabotaged in problem solving and to provide the help that istailored to his/her needs. The game was deployed in Computer Architecture course at Rowan as areplacement to the traditional laboratory experiments. Its thorough assessment confirms thevalues of the game in promoting student learning.INTRODUCTIONThe fundamental problem with the traditional single-instructor class structure is that a singularteaching method is not always universally effective; not all students learn information the sameway

of Written Communication into Engineering Classes and CurriculaAbstractThe inclusion of writing-based exercises in technical courses has multiple learning benefits tostudents. Writing exercises not only serve to improve students’ written communication skills(i.e., “learn to write”), but can also be leveraged to develop critical thinking skills and promotedeeper understanding of technical concepts (i.e., “write to learn”). Nevertheless, while writing-intensive assignments are relatively common in upper-level technical courses, especially in theform of laboratory and project reports, writing is often absent in the larger, required core coursesthat are taken by large numbers of engineering students. This is a

The method is designed to facilitate students’ paths to discovery of keyconcepts that are often misinterpreted or not readily mastered. The method is optimized forshort, in-class activities. It is a low-cost, active-learning method intended to bring laboratory-like experiences into the classroom to improve concept mastery and elucidate commonmisconceptions. The intent is to target concepts that students commonly fail to master and thatnegatively impact learning outcomes in

the vehicles with the highest sales figures were done elsewhere.In fact, less than 10% of hybrid-electric vehicle sales went to US manufacturers in the years2005–20098. To regain the lead in such cutting-edge technologies, US engineering students mustbecome more proficient in the kind of multidisciplinary design that created hybrid-electricvehicles.The hybrid-electric powertrain project is divided into six discrete modules, each of which can becompleted in a few regularly-scheduled laboratory periods. A simplified diagram of a hybridpowertrain is shown in Figure 1. The powertrain is very similar to the one used in a first-generation Toyota Prius. In this design, power is supplied to a load using an air motor andmotor/generator. The

Holistic means that the interventionshould address both cognitive and affective components. Domain specificity means that anygrowth mindset message should be contextually situated within the subject matter materials.Hence, our next step is to develop a pilot debug training program within the laboratory sessions ofan introductory microelectronic course (Sedra & Smith [41]) at our institution.ConclusionThe
