assignments.For example, on the first assignment for CE404, the assigned review problems focused on axialbehavior, specifically tension, requiring only knowledge that students had learned in a previouscourse. While students worked on this assignment outside of class, the topics being covered inclass included steel manufacturing, basic material science, and structural plans reading. The datethe assignment was due corresponded to a lesson introducing steel tension member behavior.Thus, students were required to review prerequisite material about axial tension behavior beforeapplying that knowledge in class. In general, the concepts included as review problems on oneassignment were connected to concepts being applied to the current course material on the

Relatedly, the health professional has demonstrated the success of formalactivities, such as workshops, dedicated to increasing awareness of research among practitionersin their fields (Goodenough et al., 2017; Weitzel & Robinson, 2011). In another study examiningTurkish nursing students, interest and use of research were positively correlated to the number ofcourses in research completed by the students (Gerçek, Okursoy, & Dal, 2016).

The motivational subscales onthe MSLQ were deemed more important than learning strategies for supporting the goals of thebroader curriculum development project. Only two learning strategy subscales were used.Peer-learning was chosen because of its potential importance to planned curricular interventionsinvolving team projects and small-group work. Metacognitive self-regulation was chosen becauseof the relatively high correlation with final grade reported by Pintrich, et. al. [19] and theimportance of metacognition in active-learning settings.

There is little, if any,subjective evaluation involved in the scientific method.The Engineering Design ProcessIn engineering curricula, many programs introduce students to an engineering design process.One description of this process is “a series of steps that guides engineering teams as we solveproblems. The design process is iterative, meaning that we repeat the steps as many times asneeded, making improvements along the way as we learn from failure and uncover new designpossibilities to arrive at great solutions.” This source goes on to describe seven steps: (1) “Ask:Identify the need & constraints”, (2) “Research the problem”, (3) “Imagine: develop possiblesolutions”, (4) “Plan: select a promising solution”, (5) “Create

Divergentthinking involves expanding from facts into a multitude of possibilities, and convergent thinkingleads to convergence of questions arising from these possibilities into new facts. Decisionmaking in the engineering design process involves divergent thinking for ideation of potentialrelevant parameters and solutions, as well as convergent thinking to narrow this solution spaceand plan and implement a design.

The study then analyzed the emotional impact whengrades were as expected and unexpected mid-semester. Results indicated that 52% of the surveyedpopulation conveyed a level of concern with grades moving forward despite having expectedgrades. This was a critical finding given that academic or emotional concern is generally associatedwith low scores, not high scores. On the other hand, 96% of the students expressed concernedwhen grades were not as expected mid-semester.

change comes withwhat materials that could be gathered. The original plan discussion first started with a tripod or aquad-pod design. Either design quickly became arduous in terms of balancing. With the legshaving to be made the same and attached at an angle, construction would be more difficult. Thisis when a square base became the ideal design. The structure itself will be well balanced and cansustain a substantial amount of weight. For the solar panel to have the most movement, deciding on having one pole holding up thepanel from the base was the best idea. Having multiple support poles would obscure the panel’smovement when it rotates to locate the sun. Also, having one pole will be more than enough tohold up the weight of the panel. With

Faculty may need to integrate small activities to introduce thefunctionality of the collaborative tool or promote a new workflow.

This can be accomplished by introducing a variety of collaborative tools (video, chat,virtual whiteboard) and developing a communication plan with the students based on theirpreferences early in the semester.CONCLUSIONS Our next steps are to continue instructor and peer interaction, which
