. The calculations of average velocity were done using Microsoft Excel.The students also worked on a theoretical model of the network using MATLAB® to predictpressure, volumetric flow, and velocity in each channel and compared them with theexperimental results. Since the 1st year students were just learning MATLAB®, a MATLAB®code was given to them. The MATLAB® code used Poiseuille’s equation for a rectangularchannel, ΔP = 12µQL/wh3 where µ = viscosity, Q = volumetric flowrate, L = length of channel,w = width of channel and h = height of channel and a global nodal and channel matrix based onthe number of channels and nodes. They were expected to follow the logic of the code. The codecalculated the individual channel flow rates and pressure in

hosting a question-and-answer (Q&A) session withstudents without a set agenda. This approach usually leads to disastrously low classroomparticipation and classroom meetings ending awkwardly early. The author’s experience withthese is that students do not study prior to the review sessions, the instructor is not prepared withexample problems, and both parties waste valuable class time. Such Q&A-based review sessionsare usually ineffective because students do not know what questions to ask if they do not studyprior to the exam review and they do not know in which concepts they need help.BackgroundVisual learning is an important method for exploiting students' visual senses to enhance learningand engage their interest.

Berkeley’s “Pacman Projects” to teach introductory lessons in topics like search, filtering, andq-learning [9]. However, these lessons are largely within the online-learning domain and stop shortof discussing deep learning either in the imitation or reinforcement learning contexts. Others havepicked up this thread and adapted deep-Q-networks to learn in the Pacman environment online[10], but in ways that focus less on the particulars of deep learning’s fundamentals (let alone froman educational bearing) and with more of a focus on the details of online learning.Contributions & OutlineThe distinguishing contributions of Pacman Trainer (PT), and likewise, the portions of the DLeducational pipeline that it addresses, are as follows: Contribution

At the p=0.05 level of significance, both the student’s major and their response toQuestion 2 on the quiz were significant predictors of exam score. However, the Question 2coefficient is negative, so higher scores on the quiz indicate lower exam scores, an unexpectedresult. CS majors score 7 points higher on the exams than other STEM majors, who score 13.3points higher than non-STEM majors. A Q-Q plot of the residuals indicates that they arereasonably close to normally distributed (Figure 3).

We used a Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test to compute thetest statistic, the p-value. We use a p-value of 0.05 to interpret the results. The null hypothesis isthat the median of the pre- and post-camp is the same while the alternate hypothesis is that theyare not. A p-value less than 0.05 would indicate that the null hypothesis should be rejected. Inother words, the coding camp had a significant effect in changing the perception of the campers.Q1 to Q 4 is about the girl’s perception of what scientists/engineering do and related careeroptions.

Q: “Do you have any examples of different ways that you understood the problem as you were going through the project?” A: “So, in the beginning it was just broad concept because they already had a tag developed with the electronics. And so, in my mind, it was going to be like Okay, how do we take this tag that already exists and stick it on [animal] and then from like thinking about that conceptualizing prototyping. We kind of realized that the tag wasn’t actually doing to work at all and we’d have to redesign the electronics housing so then it turned into a
