The students then produce an abstract (Figure 3 b),which is submitted online by the deadline, to be peer reviewed by the course’s teachingassistants. The groups prepare their physical model(s) and experimental set-up (Figure 3 c) to betested according to their experiment design (Figure 3d). Once the laboratory results, handcalculations, and simulations are completed, the groups write and submit a paper according to theprovided template and guidelines (Figure 3f). The students also create a poster (examples areprovided) which is presented at the showcase along with the model(s), video(s

class, it can be difficult to employ a writing-based approach. This difficulty arises in large part because these approaches are often seen astime-consuming when it comes to grading. And, these types of classes are already filled with agreat deal of homework assignments that primarily focus on problem solving. These homeworkassignments often serve as the primary mechanism outside of exams and quizzes to assessstudent learning. Many of these introductory courses also include a laboratory component. Theassessment of the laboratory component typically involves a written laboratory report. Becausethe introductory classes often have a reasonably large number of students in them, it may bechallenging to think about adding a writing component to these

Because these contexts are more applied and more realistic than whatstudents encounter in typical mathematics and statistics classes, however, data analysistasks embedded within STEM activities can create for students different obstacles as wellas potentially creating new opportunities to learn. Thus, understanding the ways in whichstudents engage with data in applied engineering and science activities is an importantstep in helping to maximize the learning opportunities inherent in integrated STEMsettings.
