As a result, they canbe described with respect to any coordinate system without changing their meaning; specificcoordinates might change but magnitude and direction remain the same.

The engineeringprograms at Wentworth Institute of Technology strongly focus on project-based learning.Devices and prototyping are therefore an integral part of many of the courses for which physicsis a prerequisite. Hence, it is essential that students leave with a working knowledge of basiccircuit concepts as well as an appreciation for the complexity that can arise in circuit analysis.Given this population, the main learning outcomes of the new game-based exercise were forstudents to: 1. Demonstrate the ability to add resistors in series. 2. Demonstrate an ability to add resistors in parallel. 3. Decompose a complex circuit into its basic elements. 4

It aims to optimally integrate face-to-face oralcommunications with online learning, which often contains a written component [1,2,3]. Withblended learning, aspects of face-to-face classroom learning are replaced or augmented byappropriate online or technology-based experiences, such as simulations, labs, tutorials, andassessments [1].An NSF grant allowed us to experiment with alternative teaching modes in a numerical methodscourse, and we began a formal comparison of blended vs. flipped instruction in 2014.

Perhaps the moststriking feature of the situation was described by Kynell: “A great irony in the evolution oftechnical communication in an engineering curriculum was the virtual second class statusimposed on the discipline by [emphasis added] those who taught it” (p. 93). They accepted aposition that they typically agreed was below both the teaching of literature and the teaching ofengineering—and they got out of it as soon as possible, or perhaps just got used to it.

Leadership strategies that may feel uncomfortable to undergraduate students will become increasingly relevant as they gain experience with organizational contexts outside of the university classroom, but it can be overwhelming for them to wait until they leave university to learn these skills.

All of these were set off by the process of reflecting on reflecting.

Thus, in this example the students meet the concept on several occasions during theschooling and on each occasion more material is added to the understanding of the concept.Graduate student teachers including scientists and engineers find it difficult to defineattributes and values but the evidence is that when they are forced to think about thedominant features of a concept they find it to be an aid in the planning and implementation ofa lesson.

Traditional on-site experiment-based laboratorieshave many limitations including space, equipment, scheduling conflicts and limited contacthours. Therefore, numerous alternative approaches have been explored such as virtuallaboratories1, table-based laboratories2, and remote laboratories3.In a traditional “closed laboratory” environment, students perform the assignments following a“cook-book” lab manual and submit a written report drafted after the laboratory has beencompleted.
