The project will include threesections: client side, web server, and experiment server (see Figure 1). The client side willcommunicate their commands to the experiment server through the web server, which acts as amedium for control and data-basing. When the clients log in their web browser on our websitewhere the web server is located, they will be asked to sign in using their givenusername/password. This username/password combination will be set to a default value for eachstudent, using their student id number as the username and password. Upon logging

This rubric was specifically developed to create a framework for educators to assessstudents’ level of ethical achievement and understanding. Using this rubric, the project teamnoted lower-than-expected performance for recognition of the dilemma in the evaluation ofapproximately 114 student submissions. The average scores for these submissions were in therange of 2-3 (on a scale from 1 to 5). These scores correspond to evaluations of students as beingable to identify problems (but only inferring it is an ethical dilemma) or recognizing obviousdilemmas (but failing to

The Next Generation Science Standards, which include engineeringdesign learning ideas, are starting to be adopted by states. This research project builds on theSTEM Integration research paradigm, defined as the merging of the disciplines of STEM. Thereare two main types of STEM integration: content integration and context integration. Contentintegration focuses on the merging of the content fields into a single curriculum in order tohighlight "big ideas" from multiple content areas, whereas context

. Common practice in Aerospace Engineering whentreating variability in material elasticity is to simply take the average value. In cases wherefailure depends on elasticity (such as with buckling) [7], the use of the average results in elevatedrisk for structures and any users of those systems [5].This research was motivated initially by these observed trends in Aerospace Engineering.However, the goals of this project are to understand how engineers across disciplines react tovariability. The following sections describe the frameworks used to frame the research, resultsfrom two studies under this project umbrella, and implications from across the studies. The goalof this paper is to describe the behavior of targeting the consequences of variability

Ideally, each student should receive personalized support that is tailored to their specific learning style. However, with limited resources and time available to educators and teaching facilities, personalized support is often infeasible. To address this issue, this project focuses on a learning system that uses artificially intelligent agents to provide students with personalized feedback and support. To further engage students, the system is built on top of an existing narrative game environment called Gridlock. Gridlock provides students with a narrative game experience that focuses on creating
