. Figure 1: Main page of the ABRS websiteDesign SummaryThe backend server for the ABRS project uses a cloud-based solution. The benefits of thisapproach include no initial hardware setup, high reliability, and reduced cost. Heroku3, a cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) provider, was selected for the ABRS project. Heroku providesseveral advantages over other providers such as Amazon Web Server (AWS). Heroku is easy touse and provides a streamlined mechanism for deployment. Heroku also offers a free tier that iswell-suited for this project. One limitation of Heroku’s free tier is that the ABRS web applicationcan only run 18 out of every 24 hours. However, this does not impact the ABRS system sincerentals are only permitted during daylight

Based on the students’ responses, what strategies helped them learn in settings outside the classroom? 2. What causal mechanism emerged from the data as being responsible for helping students learn in settings outside the classroom? 3. From the students’ perspective, how does learning in non-academic settings differ from learning in academic settings?To the answer these questions, we analyzed transcripts from semi-structured interviews with 17engineering students.

researchers seek to understand whether and to what extent thedevelopment of engineering “habits of mind and action” in middle school STEM (science,technology, engineering, and math) courses leads to improvements in problem solving abilities,integration of STEM content, and increased interest in engineering. The Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS; NGSS Lead States, 2013) call for “raising engineering design to the samelevel as scientific inquiry in science classroom instruction at all levels” (p. 1). Reflecting thisemphasis on engineering as a core idea, recent reforms include proficiency in engineering designas a key component of college and career readiness (Auyang, 2004; Carr, Bennett, & Strobel,2012; Duderstadt, 2008; Kelly, 2014

The results comparing the top risksbetween the two semesters show the effectiveness of the instructor interventions and suggestways to further improve risk management in students’ agile software development teams.1. IntroductionIt is common for a software project to face many risks in its lifecycle, from conception andconstruction to deployment and maintenance. Risk is any potential situation or event thatnegatively affects the project’s success. While the ultimate success of software often hinges onthe fulfillment of the stakeholders’ requirements, the project failure can be multi-faceted:frequent rework, architectural mismatch

Fourengineering experts, two from each respective engineering discipline, were recruited to help codethe design process. The interrater agreement yields an almost perfect agreement. Additionally,the data was also coded based on SRL constructs. Our findings suggest that all groups sharednumerous similarities in regulating their activities throughout the design process and projectmanagement. Any dissimilarities found were due to the nature of the sub-discipline, problem,design, and team.Introduction One of the most important skills for an engineer is the ability to solve problems [1]–[3].Jonassen believes that problem-solving
