For think-pair-share, students were given 30 secondsto read the problem, 1 minute to think and discuss solutions to the problem with their peers, andseveral minutes to discuss the different solution strategies in the class as a whole. Students orallyshared with the class alternative ways to solve problems. Students completed four formativequizzes in class (consisting of FE-type problems) on material that had been covered up to thatpoint, as well as homework problem sets throughout the semester. The target exam, which willhenceforth be referred to as the mock-FE exam, was constructed by chemical engineering1 https

The lecture on Monday mainly focuses on engineering topics related totwo interactive team projects. Guest lectures are presented on Wednesday. These lecturesrepresent the various engineering majors offered at Binghamton University. The laboratories aretaught by engineering instructors and graduate engineering students. Students are also requiredto take a weekly two-hour course with a focus on writing and oral presentations. The courseprovides instruction to students on how to write reports and present oral presentations regardingtheir projects. Both courses utilize undergraduate course

InquiryThroughout the larger effort described above, our team of five became acutely aware of thechallenges we faced as individuals and a collective in attempting to utilize design thinking in amore traditional engineering course design context. Certainly there were successes, inspiringmoments, and personal growth. There were also moments of doubt, conflict, and even despair aswe considered our experiences and the potential to expand those experiences to our peers. Thuswe decided to investigate the tensions we were experiencing in bringing design thinking to ourdistinct course design context.We utilized a collaborative inquiry [15] approach to investigate the tensions we experienced andhow they informed our application of design thinking in engineering

I love writing down my steps on paper while solving the problems on Mastering online. I feel that I can learn better (in the sense that I can solve harder problems or am aware of more knowledge points that I might have overlooked before) with more integration of Mastering into my course.

, many researchers and educators areinvestigating anxiety interventions and their effects on student outcomes in science andengineering courses to improve student outcomes for underrepresented groups in STEM[12–15].For instance, Harris et al. tested the effectiveness of test anxiety interventions such as expressivewriting and reappraising physiological arousal on exam performance [13]. They found that theseinterventions, though they did not change the level of self-reported test anxiety in students, didincrease exam performance. Other studies have similarly shown that expressive writing exercisescan be effective in increasing cognitive abilities, particularly when performing problems requiringa high working memory [14].
