In addition, a usabilitystudy was conducted to gain qualitative usability data. Among other questions, thestudent preference survey asked students to rank the two systems for the followingtasks: 1. Finding course documents 2. Finding grades 3. Having accurate and updated grades 4. Ease of navigation 5. Intuitiveness 6. Communicating with professorsVolunteers were recruited from the 2016 online survey for a usability study. Duringthe study, students performed a set of five tasks in both Blackboard and Canvas. Eachtask was timed and the number of clicks to complete each task was recorded. Thetasks

mainpremise of the TAP theoretical framework is that the validity of an argument depends on itslogical structure, and the process for constructing these arguments is argumentation23. The TAPmodel is a general model that can be applied to many disciplines, including philosophy, law, andmathematics, among others. Per Toulmin’s definition, a rational argument contains some, thoughnot necessarily all, of six main elements: claim, data, warrant, backing, modal qualifiers, andrebuttals (See Figure 1). More complex arguments will include more elements. For the purposesof this research, we chose to define an instance of EBR using a limited version of Toulmin’s sixelements in order to explore a greater variety of EBR. This simpler version of “instance of EBR

and High School Students in Summer Robotics Program (Fundamental Research)IntroductionRobotics provides an opportunity to engage more students in STEM. Veltman, et al. [1] andChubin, et al. [2] observe that robotics is particularly effective in attracting male student interest.Many current robotics programs are mission-based. That is, students build robots that are strongor fast to carry out a mission in competition with other robots. Several researchers have shownthat female students are often less motivated by competitive, mission based approaches [3-5]. Inour own rural area, females are less likely (1 girl:10 boys) to participate in robotics programs,which mirrors national trends [6]. Female students are more likely to be

The current focus of this development is CAPTIVATE, a serious game to assiststudent veterans in mastering the calculus and physics skills that are necessary prerequisites tothe main engineering curriculum. Building on the development and lessons learned fromMAVEN, a game developed previously to help student veterans master precalculus skills, thedesign and initial implementation for CAPTIVATE involves careful consideration regardinggame and instructional design. Many of the positive aspects from the design of MAVEN havebeen implemented in CAPTIVATE. First, the overall framework developed for MAVEN hasbeen reused. This modular framework involves both a model and process that combine game,instructional, and software design in a way

While successful for approximately 7% ofstudents who entered 9th grade in 2001, this system has filtered out 93% of the population,including many students who might have had interest and potential to pursue STEM careers [3].Importantly, this pernicious systemic problem impacts students of color (African American,Hispanic American, American Indian and Alaska Native students) disproportionately.

Over the past severaldecades, physics education research has shown that students were not learning the conceptsand/or were not engaged by the methods used in “traditional” physics education.1-4 Those andother studies have motivated a significant amount of research on physics education and muchprogress has been made. A significant body of physics education research has focused ondeveloping and incorporating classroom techniques that reduce or eliminate lecture and replace itwith active learning methods.5,6 Often the focus of the active learning strategies has been tomove away from methods that lead to students memorizing facts and mimicking solutions andtoward developing

Introduction The dougong is a well-known and unique characteristic of ancient Chinese architecture, theterm referring to the components located at the intersections of pillars comprising the roofsupport system of ancient Chinese buildings. In Chinese, the word “dougong” consists of twoparts, “dou” and “gong,” denoting the two basic elements of the dougong structure. Specifically,the word “dou” denotes the inverted cap for support, and the word “gong” denotes the bow-likeblock for supporting the load. Fig. 1 shows these two components in a 3-D model of a typicaldougong structure made in Autodesk 3DS MAX. In the structure of ancient buildings, dougongare constructed on

Entering the Engineering Pathway: Student Veterans’ Decision to Major in EngineeringAbstractAs the engineering community seeks to widen the pathways toward engineering education,hundreds of thousands of military veterans are initiating their college studies at universitiesacross the U.S. Given this trend, it is essential to better understand the factors that lead studentveterans to choose to major in engineering.We are conducting a comparative case study at four institutions enrolling undergraduate studentveterans in engineering (SVEs). In this paper, we draw upon in-depth interviews conducted withSVEs at two of these institutions to: (1) better understand the factors that shape SVEs’decisions to major in engineering and, (2

The main goals of this program are to (1)introduce students to a wide variety of STEM fields, (2) increase student’s engineering andscience knowledge, and (3) help students learn what fields they are interested in pursuing (ornot). During the summer of 2016, students were surveyed both pre- and post-camp experienceon their attitudes towards the STEM fields and their knowledge of the types of careers availableto engineers and scientists.

The paper will framethe current literature on teaching evaluation for growth and development, examine the facultymember’s, the peer’s, and the administrative observer’s perspectives, and discuss how thisprocess has led to
