Hence, it could be concluded basedon the student response that the experiment based project introduced has high impact onlearning. Every student selected one or more options for question 4 which showed that theproject has substantially contributed to the improvement of various important skills includingdata analysis, experiment design etc.Future ImprovementsA number of improvements can be made to the current prototype resulting in better performanceand reliability. Some of the improvements that are currently being implemented or planned forthe future are summarized below:(i) Durability and reliability

The objective of the structure build was to supportthe weight of ten US quarter coins. Moreover, the task was tested prior to the class activity with ahigh school AP science student to demonstrate that it was feasible to complete within thetimeframe planned, with her solution shown in Figure 6.

supportlearning.Final considerationsThe use of multiple forms of learning support is satisfactorily perceived by students and teachers,corroborating significantly to the teaching-learning process. Balancing support activities fordirect or indirect learning support proved to be a wise option. According to the authors’perception, the most successful results are related to students’ motivation and commitment inPhysics class. Students’ commitment must always be encouraged, throughout the academic year.Implementing similar activities in others schools will demand planning efforts and commitmentfrom teachers’ teams.References[1] CUTRI, R.; STEM, N.; MATTASOGLIO NETO, O.; SILVA CAMPOS, L.

The task also promoted students to document their problem scoping, their plan for managing time and team, explain the formulae for total system cost, construct a graphical representation for 10-year cost for current

Because there is no requirement or incentive to complete the survey, it is inour interest to make it as quick to complete and simple as possible. For that reason, we reducedthe Carberry instrument to no more than two self-concepts (self-efficacy for all three surveys,and anxiety in surveys 2 and 3).The course uses Comprehensive Assessment of Team Member Effectiveness (CATME) tocapture and assess team dynamics.7-9 CATME provides summary and analysis of teams andindividuals based on a set of algorithms, and in certain cases flags

The experience they have with the Bridgeprogram helped them to focus their attention on research more than they had previously. Manyof them are likely to be engaged on research in some capacity after they graduate. Even thoughmost of them plan to go to graduate school at some point, many of them enter industry beforethat.

ConclusionsInstead of having to choose using either PT or GNS3 for network development, it might be aneven better idea to use them both together. As previously discussed, both programs target distinctaspects of an overall project, and can be used to complement each other.
