The system is driven by novel sketch recognitionalgorithms developed for recognizing and comparing trusses, general shapes, and arrows indiagrams. We have discovered students perform as well as paper homework or other onlinehomework systems which only check the final answer through deployment to five universities with450 students completing homework on the system over the 2018 and 2019 school years. Mechanixhas reduced the amount of manual grading required for instructors in those courses while ensuringstudents can correctly draw the free body diagram.

Engineering students.Second, the Penn State College of Engineering strives to meet the national benchmark fordiversity in Engineering set by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) byawarding baccalaureate Engineering degrees to at least 130 African American and Hispanicstudents annually. In 2013, Penn State awarded 74 baccalaureate Engineering degrees to raciallyunderrepresented students. Therefore, our long-term goal is to achieve a net gain of at least 56Engineering degrees to racially underrepresented undergraduates.

However, student designers oftenstruggle when interacting with users to elicit requirements or solicit design feedback. This

Specifically, this paper focuses on Ed+gineering’s implementation intwo education courses and two engineering courses during Spring 2019: Collaboration 1, duringPSTs’ and UESs’ first courses in education and engineering, respectively, and Collaboration 2,during an elementary science methods course and a fluid mechanics course near the end ofeducation and engineering students’ respective programs.Research Questions 1. How did PSTs’ Ed+gineering experiences influence their engineering and science knowledge? 2. How did PSTs’ and UESs’ Ed+gineering experiences influence

A group design in which teams of 3-4 students combined ideas from the first round to create and test three iterations of a collaborative design, each time trying to improve the design by further slowing the fall of the vehicle compared to the previous design [test criterion 2]. 3. A final individual design to incorporate ideas from the first two rounds and produce a final design solution that fell slower than any other prototype vehicles [test criterion 3].ParticipantsDuring the spring of 2019, the pre-field trip lessons
