Cryptography and blockchain technology usedto produce building blocks of cryptocurrencies – a process called mining – to verify and addtransaction records to a write-only database of all previous transactions. As an incentive to add a newblock to the blockchain, the network compensates miners’ efforts with cryptocurrency, and a newlyadded block protected by cryptographic techniques to ensure the integrity of the record. To add ablock to the blockchain, miners have to solve a cryptographic puzzle, and a valid block will contain asolution to such puzzle with a hash of a previous block, hash of the transactions in the current blockand an address for the miner’s wallet on which the reward will be

We conducted comparative surveys of teachers andstudents at a medium-sized liberal arts university in the Midwestern U.S. The results showed thatsolving real-life problems and teamwork skills are the strongest motivators for students. Thesefindings aligned with teachers’ perceptions of what motivated their students in this course.Furthermore, we found some interesting differences in some of the motivations based on gender,race, and student GPA. We hope our results inform more effective design in first-yearengineering design courses in liberal arts universities and further improve student retention andgraduation rates.

Therewas a particular concern that some incoming freshman had not proven themselves with college-level classes and needed to be placed into remedial courses. This need for remediation is notunusual at PGCC, where many highly motivated students may arrive from disadvantagededucational backgrounds.Thus, a Provisional Status was created for promising, but unproven recent high school graduateswho are unable to pass PGCC’s entrance exams in reading, writing, and/or mathematics1.

To lead the discovery activitiesin class, the student teams were instructed to follow the five steps shown in Figure 1. In addition,the students developed and agreed to a simple list of rules for participating in all the HODA; theprimary rule is to listen to the leaders and play the game.
