. Throughthis analysis we will be able to identify trends in how students are using resources so that we can makebetter recommendations to future students. In addition, the concerns about barriers to resources, orresources that students would like to become available can be turned into practical solutions in theclassroom. In addition to the things that can be learned from the qualitative data contained in this survey,we hope to construct both peer networks and resource networks based on the data using concepts fromsocial network analysis.References:[1] B.

knowledge inthe electromagnetic principles help students understand how the machines work. But in theworkforce, graduates will need to understand how to choose a given motor for a particularapplication. This means answering questions such as: Which type of motor is the most appropriate for the given application? At what speed(s) should be motor be operating? What torque is required for the application? What environmental issues need to be considered in selecting the motor?An initial foray into motor selection was briefly discussed as part of a larger discussion involvingworking with industrial partners [10].

The following are some very important results demonstrated from this framework: • A coordinate or coordinates is/are the numerical representation(s) of the location or position of an object. • The origin is typically at the center of the reference coordinate system. However, the origin need not necessarily be at the center of the modeling space. • Different conventions are used by programming language and modeling platforms that are available and used for modeling
-solving skills by organizing a course around aseries of smaller, or one to two course-long problem(s) that add a substantial contextual elementto class assignments and activities. Typically, the PBL approach integrates the theoretical side ofeducation with the practical aspects of a profession, and involves students in not just the solvingof the problem, but also the investigating, developing, explaining, and checking of solutions [3,4]. This pedagogical approach has long been used in medical education, and has more recentlyemerged as an important approach for the undergraduate classroom [4]. Emphasizing theinvestigating and developing aspects of the PBL approach, open-ended problem (OEP)-basedlearning has roots in the constructivist

New courseofferings as well as additional delivery enhancements should enhance the student experienceboth for on-campus and distance students and civilian, active duty military and veterans alike.References[1] J.

workshop and future plans with the CodeIT Day model.Project Design and ExecutionThe planning of CodeIT Day 2018 followed a similar structure as previous CodeIT Days. Theplanning committee got together to set a date, create the student applications and create arecruitment plan for students and volunteers. During this process, a team member was alsoworking on the curriculum for students.RecruitmentAlthough students of all backgrounds are welcomed to apply and are accepted to the workshop,due to the lack of underrepresented minorities in the STEM fields, it has always been a mission ofCodeIT Day to intentionally recruit students of color and female students of the targeted gradelevel(s) each year. CodeIT Day 2018 was geared specifically for fifth and
robots that are programmable in the sameprogramming language used in the class. Affordability and low maintenance costs are alsoimportant factors to long term sustainability of these activities.Our initial experience with robotics in programming classes indicate that most students enjoyrobotics and they become more motivated to learn programming. We are pleased with theoutcome and will continue using robotic activities in our introductory programming classes.References 1.
