method consider the following problems.First consider Figure 4. A reasonable problem involving only algebra could be given as follows. Ifthe smooth slider has the speed shown at point A, what is the maximum distance s that it canreach?Figure 4 - Example of a Problem in Mechanics.Solving this problem requires an understanding of kinetic and potential energy and how toaccount for it in a system.Similarly consider Figure 5 showing a tank of water connected to a nozzle. Given all thedimensions, a reasonable question might be to determine the pressure at the throat of the nozzle.Again this problem requires an understanding of how to account for energy in a system. It hasdifferent forms of energy when compared to the mechanics problem but the problem

beliefs about the nature of knowledge (simplicity and certainty of knowledge) andprocesses of knowing (sources of knowing and justification). Many studies using themultidimensional frameworks are quantitative in nature.More recently, situation and context-specific models of epistemic cognition have emerged. Thesemodels suggest that an individual’s epistemic cognition is dependent on situational factors, suchas interest and time. One example of a situation and context-specific model is Chinn et al.’s [4]AIR Model of epistemic cognition, which places an emphasis on an individual’s aim for a taskand the processes used to achieve this aim.Each type of model for epistemic cognition is marked by different underlying theoreticalassumptions and

The goalof the game is to assist students in developing engineering intuition on how truss structuresbehave when subjected to loads. The software tool is based on finite strain theory that enablesthe user to visual material and geometric nonlinearities and dynamic movement of failedstructure. Users play the game by positioning bars and joints to construct a truss structure that isable to support an external mass and the weight of the truss structure itself. The structure theplayer builds must consist of joints and bars, where the bars are connected via the joints. Theplayers win nut(s) based the
rules early, guiding members to note their thoughts in the “parking lot,” adhering to these practices, and coming back to review tabled issues were key. • Pay attention to facilitation and process implementation. Communicating clear goals and objectives and sharing a detailed agenda that outlined the process and expectations ahead of time helped everyone start on the same page. Flexibility in the process is needed when additional relevant issues emerge. Use facilitation practices to leverage members’ expertise and skills to keep the entire group on track and help each other.ReferencesAmbrose, S., Bridges, M.W., DiPietro, M., Lovett, M.C., & Norman, M.K.

). Students use knowledge of MATLAB taught in the lectureportion of the course to design a game. Students choose one or more games from a provided listto design or invent their own. Each game carried a point value and students could exceed thepoint requirements for extra credit. Students then conducted two user interviews to determinerequirements for the game and created a team working agreement. Before coding began, studentscreated a flowchart, algorithm, or pseudocode draft. Students then coded their chosen game(s).Additionally, students created a project notebook including a project schedule, business plan,advertisement, and project pitch video. Software documentation was also prepared including auser manual. Students were given multiple class
