examining students’understanding of a datum reference frame (DRF) specified on a drawing and their ability tomodel a 3D part with a consistent DRF origin. It was clear that students in TEC333 had difficultyrecognizing the DRF when given a drawing with GD&T. This was especially true when holeswere used as datum features. Since one of the main tenants of GD&T is to provide consistencythrough design, manufacturing, and inspection, conducting a closer examination of design intentwithin the drawing, constraint-based model, and the inspection method could provide useful datafor improving instruction.References1.

real software products.Tech Startup Model. The Tech Startup process begins with the onset of the semester, when instructors presenta general overview of semester-long projects and charge students to brainstorm project ideas forsoftware to develop. With the popularity of social media, web services, and prevalence ofsmartphones, most projects proposed involve web and/or mobile applications. In the followinglecture, the project proposals are shared among all students and each student expresses whichproject(s) to which they wish to contribute. Based on their preferences, we form teams of about 5software engineering students with 1-2 entrepreneurship students. Students are expected toarrange times outside of class to meet regularly to work

Future work may explore the relationship betweenthe state of the engineering labs and students’ recruitment and retention in engineering programs.Bibliography1. Kolb, D.

stablished eitherusing a Bluetooth wireless or a USB cable.In order to program Aksense the students only have to know the basic commands toactivate various components, such as LED and RGB. For example, using Chrome SerialTerminal if the command “G” is sent to Aksense the RGB will turn Green. Similarly, ifwe press the Push button switch on Aksense, character “S” will be displayed on theterminal. If the user send character “P”, then the current value of the voltage set by thepotentiometer is displayed.Figure 1: Basic communication between Aksense and a PC (or smartphone) usingpre-assigned command lines (e.g., “R” to turn the RGB RED).Figure 2(a) depicts Aksense’s PCB.

setting clear expectations, students feel that this assignment is achievableand therefore increases their sense of competence and expectancy.ConclusionOverall, this assignment helped students make a connection between the highly theoretical topicsof the course to real-world applications. The assignment is low-stakes and is not intended to takemore than an hour to complete. The students in the course have achieved the learning objective ofthe assignment. With the presentation component, they are exposed to their own application aswell as the applications selected by their classmates.References[1] S. A. Ambrose, M. W. Bridges, M. DiPietro, M. C.

intrapersonal and interpersonal skill development, diversity andinclusion, group dynamics, and group development.The students frequently reported how concepts like the SBI feedback model [38] have supportedthem greatly with the development of their intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. The SBI modelhelps deliver more effective feedback because the students focus their feedback on specificsituations (S) and behaviors (B), and then outline the impact (I) that these behaviors had on them. “I adore the SBI model. Using it forces me to rethink the situation before sharing feedback which gives me an opportunity to evaluate exactly what the impact on me really was. Secondly, I have found that people are more receptive to the feedback
