Inquiry-based learning activities were designedusing variation theory4 to challenge students’ conceptual understanding of rate and accumulationprocesses across multiple contexts. Activities include the use of toy bricks to construct rate andaccumulation graphs. These activities will be tested in a required sophomore civil andenvironmental engineering course. The success of these activities will be measured usingformative assessments and pre-post course RACI scores. An observation protocol will also beused to assess students’ responses to the class activities5.References1. Flynn, C.D., Davidson, C.I., Dotger, S., 2014.

This includes doing further research on atopic in order to support an argument being made against another student’s post or exploringother research because a student’s attention was brought to another aspect of the topic byanother student’s initial post. The final phase is the most important and is when a studentintegrates what s/he learned from discussion with other students (Wang & Chen, 2008).

instructions had to be doable andunambiguous. As the students quickly learned, even when the solution to a problem is wellunderstood, it is sometimes difficult to express the solution in elementary steps.The class then built on the idea of the kind of steps needed in an algorithm by writinginstructions for an imaginary S robot. The S robot was defined to be able to pick up one playingcard from a deck and hold it in its hand. It could make some determination about the card such asits suit or value and it could either put the card back on the top of the deck or discard it to thefloor. The students were again placed in groups, given some playing cards, and assignedproblems to solve of the nature: count the number of cards in the deck. New instructions

The duration of the signal S is calculatedbased on the amount of rotation required for every angular step and on the gear ratio selected forthe gear motor, and the panel-to-motor transfer gear ratio.Initially, once the location is selected, the azimuth angle range is determined with a tilt angle θcalculator, and the angular step value is subsequently set.
