As examples, considerparticipant O-01802, who remains on-task for a majority of lecture, but occasionally “checks out”of lecture. Compare participant O-01802’s behavior with O-11801 who is mostly off-task, butoccasionally “checks in” to lecture. We also observe various on-task and off-task durationperiods. For example, participants O-02802 and O-03803 have long on-task duration periodswhereas O-05801 and O-05802 have very short on-task periods. Participant O-07802 is off-taskfor nearly the entire lecture (on-task for only 4% of lecture), while participant O-06801 is on-taskfor the entire lecture.

development of a numerical model is very similar to modelinga problem analytically. As proposed, these techniques will be taught throughout traditionallecture-based courses alongside engineering theory.Numerical simulation results are generally collected through the following procedure: 1)replication of geometry; 2) definition of physics, e.g. selecting the governing equation/s,establishing boundary conditions, assigning materials, et cetera; 3) generation of thecomputational domain, i.e. discretizing the geometry through mesh element definition; and 4)post-processing of the results, specifically producing the appropriate plots and/or metrics for theproblem statement. The first step should be easy for students, allowing for further honing of theirCAD

Lab 7 marked a shift to mobile robotics as learners teleoperated aTurtleBot 4 in a maze, introducing sensor data interpretation and basic navigation strategies.Building on that, Lab 8 asked them to write an exploration script for autonomous movement,requiring further integration of sensor feedback and more advanced navigation logic.Finally, Lab 9 culminated in the implementation of the A* search algorithm to identify optimalexploration points and complete a full map of the environment.
