ThermodynamicsABSTRACTStagnating growth in our educational systems has piqued interests in alternative teachingmethods such as the inclusion of “serious games” into curricula. In response to those needs, aseries of educational games have been developed in accordance with pre-engineeringprograms such as Project Lead the Way (PLTW). The focus of development is in creating anengaging, educational environment by balancing fun and learning whilst meeting the standardsof commercial-level games and engineering and science curricula. This paper, in particular,presents the design and pedagogical methods, and the implementation of those methods, in athermodynamics serious game, Solaris One, that accommodates the integration of gamemechanics with learning. The game has broad

Two-thirds of the girlswere from local public, comprehensive high schools, while the other third attended independentschools in the area. The curriculum was based in both service learning and engineering designwithin a global context. The Lwala Community Alliance of Kenya "hired" the participants towork on two projects. The rising 9th and 10th graders designed a fish pond to enable the Lwalaresidents raise fish to use as a commodity.

Wefocus on exploring the major challenges students encountered when applying design ethnographyduring the front-end design phases of problem definition and elicitation of user requirements.Research DesignStudy PurposeOur study was guided by the following research question: What aspects of design ethnographydo students find most challenging during front-end design phases?To explore this question, we interviewed engineering student designers about their experiencesduring a design ethnography immersion program. This interview approach allowed us to come toa deeper understanding of students’ perceptions of the usefulness of design ethnography.

researchers will independently score all of the pilot VCD responses. If their agreement is less than 80%, discrepancies will be discussed and the scoring rubric will be revised. The two researchers will then independently score all responses again. This process will be repeated until their scores agree more than 80% of the time. Test-retest reliability will be determined by administering both versions of the VCD to approximately 20 pre-service teachers who are not involved in the project. Reliability will be achieved when there is greater than 80% agreement, on average, in the performance of individual teachers across the two versions

Like anexperienced carpenter, most experienced teachers have more tools in their box than they are ableto use on any particular project, not because they don’t care about the quality of the finishedproduct, but because the time available for those critical enhancements and finishing touches isvery limited. The carpenter and the teacher both must make daily decisions that balance valueadded against time invested. With this in mind, the concept of Two-Minute Follies has beendeveloped at West Point and adopted by Mississippi State as a means to motivate and teachstudents in an effective and time-efficient manner.The basic concept of the Two

As part of the program’s formative and summativeevaluation, anonymous online surveys were administered to participants in two E3 summerprograms using the pre- and post-program survey format, and participants were asked to respondto survey statements using a Likert-type scale of responses. The E3 leadership team notedinconsistencies in some of the survey results with the teachers’ written (and verbal) comments;therefore the team investigated the apparent contradictions.

They report that student performance in the course projects in the FC version of thecourse was better than student performance in the traditional version by an average of 12 percent. Page 24.1395.3They also report that this improvement was not seen in one section of the FC version of the course;and they attribute this to the fact that the instructor in that section “neglected to utilize modelingand demonstration techniques . . . ”. This, of course, raises the question, which the authors do notconsider, of whether the performance of the students in the projects in the traditional version ofthe course would have matched
development included four courses the first year, sixcourses the second year, and up to nine courses the third year (all of which already existed intraditional course formats). The initial four courses—applied quantum mechanics, digitalsignal processing, digital image processing, and convex optimization—were chosen basedprimarily on the interest and availability of the regular instructors to develop online coursematerials. All were graduate courses, though at the introductory level, and therefore open toadvanced undergraduates.Funding for the program came from the University’s recently created Office of the ViceProvost for Online Learning (VPOL), which had requested proposals from departments thatwent beyond single-course projects.
