“outsideuse” it was typically reported as used with a partner and independently to reinforcelearning by experimenting with different variables.80% of the students found the personal instrumentation to be a valuable tool for thecourse, indicating that it was effective both as a learning tool and in developing theirconfidence within the content area. Students’ positive perceptions related to itsusefulness in promoting experiential learning to practice course concepts (72%),increasing knowledge (71%), reflecting real practice (57%), and in improving confidencelevels (57%). 72% of the students reported that it facilitated a collaborative workingenvironment with their fellow students. Approximately half the students wanted moreuse and more time for that

any othercomments on the unit of instruction. In courses where the 3D modules was implemented,students were asked to complete a questionnaire containing 40 objective items and 1 open-endeditem. All items included on the questionnaire used prior to 3D implementation are included onthis survey, with minor modifications made to reflect the inclusion of the 3D modules. 21additional items specific to the 3D modules were also added. The construction of thequestionnaire was influenced by the work of Lee (2011) [1] who also examined the use of virtualreality to aid learning.ParticipantsA total of 128 students participated in the study. Forty-five students were in a control group thatdid not use the 3D modules, while 83 students were in the treatment

learn how to use the oscilloscope, they were able to see the signals, frequencies, and other parameters that are discussed in the classroom, but are best demonstrated with hands-on activities. Students were able to see how changing input parameters from the signal generator included in the software reflected different responses at the circuit output.  The best thing about this experience is for students to perform the different labs in the comfort of their homes with only the Analog Discovery Board which has a very low cost.  Students can have a virtual laboratory anywhere, once they have access to a PC or laptop.  The ease of using the board, the FFT, the potential to develop a number of experiments

nonparametric data. Additionally, there is no estimation of population parametersin OOM; the statistics in OOM reflect solely the data collected. In an OOM analysis, theresearcher provides a hypothesized pattern for the data, and the analysis checks the obtained dataagainst that pattern. The resulting statistic, called a Percent Correctly Classified (PCC) index, isthe percentage of the data which fits the hypothesized pattern. For this paper, the hypothesizedpattern was an increase in students’ scores on the Awareness, Motivation or Exposure subscalesafter the lecture as compared to their scores before the lecture.Table 2 shows the results for this model.

circumstances, writing is used not so much to demonstrate knowledge as toachieve an understanding of the students’ own learning process. Writing-to-learn assignments inthese contexts usually attempt to make the student aware of his or her learning issues, asking thestudent to reflect on what he or she may not understand. The modalities for doing so are various:students have been required to write step-by-step explanations of their problem-solving; 5, 6, 7they have been asked to explain how to do a problem to a relative neophyte in the class; 8 andthey have been encouraged to embed literary modes in their problem-solving narratives (e.g.explaining how to solve stoichiometric equations through baking analogies).9 While theseapproaches have resulted in

model development requires students tocommunicate their ideas and continue to evolve their solutions to reflect their evolving ideasconcerning the mathematical situation. The model refinement process involves moving from aninitially chaotic model to a more developed model through an iterative process. Importantly,while these activities are to an extent open-ended, they are not the type of open-ended problemwhere any solution is acceptable; there are criteria built into the problem that make somesolutions better than others, aligning with the self-assessment principle (see below).12 In thiscourse, the iterative process involves three major submissions with feedback from both peers andinstructors.16

Research has shown Maker spaces as sources ofmultidisciplinary learning, a blending of communities of practice with formal learning, andfinally that the depth of learning is in the making. While the research points to the values ofMaking in general, and specifically making in museum maker spaces, there seems to be littleresearch on family making, and how museums can encourage family making.

In reflecting on the personal impact of recent national events and how politicaldiscussions have or have not been integrated into their STEM courses, two themes emerged: 1)political awareness and 2) future-self impact. Findings revealed that first year engineeringstudents recognized the personal and social impacts current national events imposed on theirfriends, family, and society. However, students did not sense the significance of politicaldiscourse concerning the social impact and ethical practice of engineering. Our research showsthat limiting political discourse in the classroom and depoliticizing engineering spacescontributed to students dissociating the relevance of political
