tests be mapped directly to those used on later assessments; rather,the benefit of testing some concepts from a set of material enables retention of related concepts inthe same material [4].Direct BenefitsDetermining direct benefits of testing in improving long-term retention is the primary focus ofmost “testing effect” empirical research. Namely, how is student retention, when represented asperformance on assessments, effected by the use of testing as a teaching tool? Many studies arenaturally composed of a control group that is solely reliant on initial study and subsequentre-study of material while the experimental group is subject to testing with multiple factors ofsome variable.

abstract field, due to difficulty ofintegrating tangible and realistic experiments into electrical engineering curriculum. Sometimessetting up a laboratory for these experiments could be very expensive. Therefore, a lot of timeusing simulation tools is a good alternative to examine and visualize the realistic problems.However, the available simulation software may require vast technical proficiency, whichsometime impedes the inclination of students towards this area of study.In this paper we introduce a ray-tracing simulation tool that can be beneficial in teaching wavepropagation and wireless communication.

of otherwise effective communication skills [5].In engineering education, faculty instructors face a particular challenge of teaching graduatestudents completely new discourse practices, including reading social science and philosophyarticles, learning to communicate using non-technical language, and reading and constructingcomplex arguments that respond to engineering education challenges. This last challenge—reading and constructing arguments—is the focus of this article and the intervention we discussbelow. Casey and Alice, two scholars in chemical education and engineering educationrespectively, teamed up with Kristen and Erica, two rhetorical scholars who focus on STEMcommunication, to engage students in visualizing arguments as a way

. What are thepreferred learning styles of Gen Z engineering students and how do these relate to theirpersonality types? While we assume that effective teaching in engineering involves active andgroup learning, use of makerspaces, and problem solving studios, we really don’t know thelearning preferences of the new generation of students. This generation has grown up withelectronic screens and social media in front of their faces from a very young age. And now facultyare trying to have them work in groups, take them to the makerspace, and so on without knowingwhether the Gen Zs will respond in the same way as Gen Xs and millennials.IntroductionThere have been many studies performed to understand the relationship between students’personality types
