solving strategies. Our initial results haveshown that these prompts could direct students’ attention to governing principles instead ofguessing equations. Future research should collect more data to explore how scaffolding throughquestion prompts affects students’ learning. Future work should also investigate the design ofquestion prompts and the effect on learners with different background. As the ultimate goal ofscaffolding is to achieve independent learning, research should be conducted to find out whenscaffolding can be removed.References[1] A. S.

An added complication is that thesound at any moment is dependent on the recent history of key strokes as much as the key(s)being immediately struck. Figure 4 shows a spectrogram of the sound generated by Dr.Bengtson’s Walter piano as note C4 is repeatedly struck. The spectrogram shows the interactionbetween resonant modes in the soundboard. Modes are seen to exchange energy, sometimesdisappearing then reappearing at a later time.

feedback from the courseinstructors. The activities are arranged roughly in the chronological order in which they werepresented to the classes.Student Trading Cards. The work of Barker, O’Neill, & Kazim1 inspired this activity. Theinstructor has a set of cards with each student’s name on a card and when the instructor posesquestions to the class, s/he uses cards to select the student to answer. Using the cards allowsinstructors to more consistently call on all members of the class. We selected this activitybecause when the instructor looks for a response from any student it can help convey themessage that each individual possesses knowledge and personal experiences that might berelevant to an engineering problem.
