We used fixed-length integer vectors as genotypes forboth learners and Parsons puzzles; g1 , g2 , g3 , g4 with each of the 4 genes taking value in[1..NG ]. The student vs. puzzle interaction was approximated by simply summing the valuesin a learner’s genotype (S L ) and summing those of the practice problem (S P ). S L representsthe expected number of attempts taken by the corresponding learner to solve an arbitrarypractice problem. The higher this number, the more the learner is

students within COSE, which supplied the funding for this study.BackgroundTheoretical FrameworkThe framework of Astin’s, Swail’s, and Tinto’s models are, in their simplest interpretation, aboutstudent involvement in their chosen college and program. Astin’s involvement model shows thatthe academic performance of a student is directly correlated to their involvement level within theircollege or program [2, 3]. Tinto theorizes that poor integration into the many facets of college life,including academically and socially, is an early indication of a student having a higher risk ofdropping out [4-6]. Finally, Swail et al.’s analysis of minority retention in institutions of higherlearning yields the Geometric Model of Student Persistence and

The veryencouraging pilot results provide a template and strong motivation for conducting a larger scaleexperiment for generic prototyping applications.1 IntroductionAn engineering prototype (physical or virtual) is an initial manifestation of a design concept,either a scale or full-size model of a structure or piece of equipment, which can be used toevaluate performance, form, and/or fit. Prototyping is the process of generating prototype(s),usually between concept generation and design verification stages. Prototypes provide designengineers the opportunity to determine if a concept is technically feasible, optimize

SolidWorks Flow Simulation was performed using thefollowing estimated parameters:  Velocity 1m/s  Fan swirl 2rad/s  Turbulence intensity 5%  Turbulence length 0.0254m.These parameters and the physical model require refinement based on both measured data andboundary conditions. In SolidWorks, one boundary condition that is pre-programmed for the useris a fan. However, initial experience with this boundary condition indicates that there may not bea convenient way to simulate the rather large center hub area of the real condenser unit fan thathas no blade surface and does have a vacuum. This might be simulated by working on theaccuracy of the fan swirl estimate and by either putting a blocking plate in the center of the fanopening in

Furthermore, this gives them the experience of how prototypes and client feedbacktranslate into the finished product. This was also observed by Mohan and Chenoweth 9: it isimportant that students “carry their requirements projects forward into design and development,sufficiently that they can see the importance of the time spent learning to do requirements” 9.Nevertheless, it is important to note that student teams spend the larger part of the semester(about 70%) interacting with the client, building mockup/prototype(s) and obtaining clientfeedback, which they then use to create their SRS
