By providing students with experiential learning opportunities, avenues forworking with scaled-down versions of technical problems, they too can begin buildingcontextual understanding, allowing them to notice subtle difference between similar situations.This will allow students to learn the information more effectively and to retain it longer,facilitating better transfer of knowledge and skills from the classroom to the workplace.

Inengineering majors, men typically outnumber women, as reflected in a 2017 report whichrevealed only 21.3% of bachelor’s degrees in engineering were earned by women [14]. Despitewomen earning fewer engineering degrees than men, a positive correlation between being femaleand graduation rates has been found [3]. Women frequently have been reported to be more likelythan men to earn a bachelor’s degree once enrolled, regardless of the time frame needed to earnthe degree [15] [16] [17].

Ram et. al. 2007 points outthat student lack of interest is often attributable to the lack of real-world relevance found in atypical course. Ram further points out that using PBL successfully helps develop skills inlifelong learning that are not always present in the classroom. PBL helps students develop self-assessment independent of a teacher directing them. Mills et. al. 2003 poses the question “doesproblem-based learning work in engineering?” Mills concludes that “chalk and talk” pedagogyalone, is not the answer to teaching. Rather a mixture of traditional coursework and PBL islikely to be more successful. This is true here too, and after some reflection, some

A typical example is the building activity in the video game Fortnite [15].

However in thisstudy it is difficult to isolate the effect of the daily quizzes from the change in number of weeklymeetings or increase of time for in-class problem solving. Further the course evaluation dataremains difficult to interpret. In the 2016, only 51% of students enrolled in the course participatedin the final course evaluations and in 2017, only 35% of students completed the evaluations.Because of these low response rates, it is possible that the reported data in this study does notaccurately reflect general student perceptions of the course.

Though vocabulary maychange, misconceptions (term chosen for this paper) are how people make sense of the worldeven though it does not reflect established scientific knowledge held by experts. Misconceptionsmay also be incorrect categorizations, particularly if one understands concepts as organizingknowledge in categories [7]. In general, misconceptions may arise due to incorrect instruction,but they may also be constructed by everyday interactions and language barriers. It is importantto note here that there is a line of research that understands misconceptions as novice

CMS-Wave is a finite-difference, two-dimensional steady-statewave spectral transformation model that calculates wave propagation, generation,refraction, diffraction, reflection, transmission, run-up, and wave-current interaction (Linet al. 2008, 2011).

changes in teaching and learning have transformed the foundationof education. Over time, the role of the teacher has evolved, from the transmitter of knowledge(traditional education) to facilitator [1]–[3]. Dewey [4] argued that people learn by doing,students should be exposed to experiential activities that promote reflection. Students are nowplaced in the center playing the main role as they are the ones who actively construct their ownknowledge through the tools that the teacher provides and social interactions [5].Active learning has been defined in different ways, Bonwell & Eison [6] provided a practicaldefinition as "any activity that involves students doing things and thinking about what they aredoing."

thatstudents’ self-assessments are not accurate, often reflecting over-confidence (e.g., Kruger &Dunning, 1999 [27]).One challenge in data analysis was that fewer students completed the post-test (16) than the pre-test (36), likely because the participation in the survey was voluntary and the post-test came at atime when students were finishing high-stakes final projects. So, in addition to enhancing thecase study materials and refining the STSS instrument, future work will also include exploringways to better incentivize students to complete both the pre- and post-test.Finally, it is possible that the STSS results could be somewhat skewed by the fact that, unlikemost other universities, students at CMU have two capstone experiences to choose

In order to evaluate andassess new experiments and projects, prior to introducing them in our curriculum, we use summerprograms with different students to develop content and test learning objectives. We introduce thenew topics to a cohort of students of diverse cultural background from local and internationalstudents. Our methodology is similar for the curricular development of each program (Figure 1)and consists of four main and distinct stages: (1) planning and administrative preparation, (2)content development and small-scale testing, (3) deployment and daily student assessment, (4)reflections, modifications and adjustments for a final course implementation.
