Relevant responses along with percentages are summarized below: 1. Do you think you learned/understood more about the project by working within such a team vs. working alone? Yes, learned/understood more by working within a team (87.5%) No (0%) Maybe (12.5%) 2.

Results for question 3 show that all students believed thatSimulink/Simscape was more easily accessible that PSpice (80% believed it was much easier toaccess.) Across all three categories, at least 80% of students indicated that Simulink/Simscapewas better or much better than PSpice in terms of effectiveness in analyzing and understandingcircuits, ease of use, and ease of access. Written student comments reflect the same sentiments;a few of the student comments are listed below. • Simscape was much more user friendly. The

(2021) introduced the concept of person-centered approaches to the engineeringeducation community, which originated in the context of longitudinal analyses. A person-centered approach recognizes heterogeneity and attempts to identify latent groupings amongindividuals in the sample based on the relationships among variables which reflect thecharacteristics of individuals and their environment. In contrast, a variable-centered approach isfocused on prediction and relationships between variables (Laursen & Hoff, 2006). Althoughperson-centered approaches may use data-driven methods to fulfill these tasks, not all data-driven methods can be used in a person-centered fashion without more critical thought (Godwinet al., 2021).

Fig. 6 shows the S11 parameter, or the reflection coefficient,which indicates the antenna’s resonant frequency. In general, the lower this number is, the betterthe antenna will perform at that frequency. The S11 parameter can be measured usingcommercially available tools such as a NanoVNA. While gain and directionality are alsoimportant factors in antenna design, finding hobbyist or entry-level devices to properly measurethese aspects is difficult.C. Chemical Etching Figure 7.

. Figure 1: An overview of the development process for the FBD app.Phase 1: Design and Prototype (complete)The goal of this phase was to design an app that scaffolds the learning process associated withdrawing FBDs. This was accomplished by segmenting typical problems into small tasks withwhich students typically struggle and associating each task with a “mini game” in the app. Minigames were designed to be inclusive and feature feminized gameplay in order to appeal to thewidest possible audience.In this phase, participatory design was used because it allows all stakeholders to be part of thedesign process so that the final product reflects the entire community’s values [21].

Moreover, simulation results cannot reflect the uncertainty anddisturbance that physical systems always include. In [6], a combination of simulation, animation,and experimentation is suggested to help students understand the theory of vibration.

In the next phase of the game,"Concept Selection and Debate," they must argue with their teammates to select the best designto submit for their fictional group project. The twist of the game is that the initial bias of students–which design they would like the team to submit– as well as their personality –the method thatthey use to argue– are both determined by randomly dealt cards. This causes the students to stepoutside of their comfort zone and internally reflect on how they argue their opinions normallyversus how others might make a similar argument.
