instrumentality, whichdescribes the degree to which an individual considers something s/he is learning to be useful inhis/her future. Measures of instrumentality have been shown to predict course performance in avariety of settings, including engineering [33, 34]. Essentially, when students don’t see a need tolearn something, their learning tends to be negatively impacted. Commonly, the courses thatgate-keep advanced coursework—such as capstone design courses—include a large componentof introductory or basic content that stands in as disciplinary knowledge [35]; in such cases,students who don’t see these components as useful will tend to perform less well. Increasinginstrumentality for struggling and underserved learners is one way to support them. For

They can either get aBachelor of Arts (B.A.) through the College of Letters and Sciences (L&S), or get a Bachelor ofScience (B.Sc.) through the College of Engineering. The major difference between the two tracksis that students who get the B.A. get to take breadth requirements that gives them exposure tomore

The vignette that NGSS provides states thefollowing: “Ms. S. moved over to another group that had just broken into laughter and asked what was so funny. Rick related, ‘I see smashed cans all the time. I think an airfoot stomped the tanker down. And the molecules transformed into a molecule foot.’ Ms. S. asked, ‘What is this imaginary foot?’ Latasia answered, ‘Air.’ Ms. S. guided the students, ‘Let’s add that idea to the model.’ (The teacher validated the use of place [smashed cans in the neighborhood] to keep the students engaged and make a

One such tool is IdeaKegTM, a component of Kiln Ideas Ltd.’s broadercollaborative innovation framework known as FuseTrailTM which closely follows that of theOsborn-Parnes CPS model. We picked the IdeaKeg problem solving tool for several reasons.One is that the tool is used by companies for inventing new products and services. It also hasbeen associated particularly with generating ideas and solving problems for startup businesses,and we wanted our engineering students to model this experience in our curriculum. It includesprogressive layers of deepening associations for the participants, ending up with an example ofhow a problem was

Multidisciplinary team of this kind are the norm in industry and require project management skills such as effective communication, decision making, resource gathering and scheduling of various tasks. Therefore, the students not only must demonstrate a prototype designed for specific customer need(s) but also the execution process followed by the teams. This requires the students to recognize their roles for contributions in the team.The following sections give a brief

pN-3 … p0. The digital DDFSuses the MSB (i.e., pN-1) as the square wave output. One interpretation is to treat the pN-1 bit as asignal that divides the output period into two equal parts (i.e., two equal phases). The values of 0and 1 are assigned to the two phases, respectively. It is possible to assign multi-bit values, suchas 2 and 7, for the amplitude, and the output wave will oscillate between 2 and 7 instead. Similarly, if two MSBs (i.e., pN-1 pN-2) are considered, the same period is divided into fourphases. Different values can be assigned to the four phases. The same concept can be extendedto S MSBs, which leads to 2S phases in a period. A phase-to-amplitude lookup table with 2Sentries can be created to define the shape of the

original ideas, including those on cognitive conflict triggering learning in children werefurther elaborated and expanded by various learning scientists and applied to K–12 as well as col-lege education. For instance, Doise and Mugny 4 conducted various studies about how cognitiveconflict impacts learning. Their work showed that the other learner(s) who held the conflictingviews did not need to be physically present, as long as the learners in question saw the conflictingviews as being those of peers. While triggering cognitive conflict is possible even without en-gaging with peers (e.g., via refutation text 5 instead), combining it with peer-interaction has majoradvantages.
