that the skills in both fields overlap. A good artist and a goodengineer need to have confidence in their abilities in creative problem solving. Structuring thecamp with a theme of art allows students more opportunities to feel like they belong in the field. The sculpture area at WSU provided hands-on practices in three-dimensional art includingsculpture and jewelry/small metals as part of our contribution to the camp. Most often theworkshops applied the welding skills students learned from the engineering lessons to createexperimental sculptural forms in metal with an emphasis on being playful, creative and havingfun.

The universityadministration uses such evaluations to solve agency problems related to the selection and motivation ofteachers, in a context in which neither the types of teachers, nor their effort, can be observed precisely(Becker & Watts, 1999).Truly speaking, students’ evaluations are useful during the hiring process of professors. Particularly ithelps to ascertain the situation whether to promote a professor or not. Some of the educational institutionswhere more research is emphasized on professors, the administration relies fully on students’ evaluationof teaching (Becker & Watts, 1999).Administrators from educational institutions have struggled for a long time with

In [7], a sun-tracker system was developed by utilizing an Arduino UNOmicrocontroller. The control program activated the servo motor in the direction of the maximumsunlight intensity detected by a pair of light dependent resistor (LDR) sensors. In [8], a sun-tracking system was designed by using a deep recurrent neural network with long-term short-term units.

To start, students canengage in inquiry through modifying small amounts of code in existing models. This can eitherbe a form of open-ended “tinkering” with the code to explore what happens, or more directedmodifications to model a new phenomenon [33]. There have been many successful examples ofhigh school and college students learning to use NetLogo and successfully building incisivemodels in subjects such as biology [34] and MSE [35], [36].Prior research has shown increased student understanding of core concepts in MSE through theuse of computational models [36] as well as in related
