Co-PI Ella Ingram (RHIT) has studied the existing literature obteaching circuits, examined circuits concept inventories developed by others in the field, andparticipated in the learning of basic concepts in circuits and use of lab equipment along withstudents enrolled in circuits classes for non-majors. The plan is to present a draft of the conceptinventory at the 2014 workshop to obtain

participated in this STEM activityorganized by TTU. The focus of the visit is to engage the girls in TTU’s cutting edge rapidprototyping (RP) laboratory. Students and coaches use the RP laboratory to create three-dimensional objects and design them using their artistic skills. Students and coaches are able tokeep their creations. In addition to experiencing the RP laboratory, students have a chance tovisit the Biology Laboratory, compete in Lego Robotics Design and a Paper Airplane Contest.A2S participants (including 112 students, 15 MNPS teachers, and 3 volunteer mentors) made thethird annual A2S trip to TTU on October 29, 2011. This day trip was an opportunity to tour theTTU campus and spend time going in-depth with RP. The schedule was designed to

Students can access various testing tools(e.g. thermal conductivity measurements and direct shear tests) through the game missions.They can also conduct parametric studies in the virtual laboratory to understand soilproperties under different geological conditions. Students can also perform parametricstudies in a virtual lab to understand the efficiency of heat transfer in geothermal piles. Thegame allows students to intuitively grasp complex theoretical concepts and practicaloperations through visualization and simulation tools. By completing the game's tasks,students can earn points and update the appearance of their characters, increasing

Hands-on equipment utilized in vibrations and controllabs allows students to engage with physical systems, validate theoretical concepts, and designand implement control systems. However, most mechanical engineering courses, such asvibrations and control theory, are 3-credit lecture-only courses without integrated laboratories,unlike many electrical, computer, and mechatronics programs [7]. Moreover, since the pandemic,digital learning tools have become necessary complements, not just accessories, to supportstudent engagement and learning. They offer

13 114. Discussion and ConclusionOne-semester virtual REU and two-semester virtual REU had higher perceived learning gains thanthe 10-week summer in-person REU. These higher gains can potentially be attributed to five mainfactors.First, the participants worked directly with the advisors during the virtual program. Compared tothe in-person program, participants mostly worked independently or with graduate students.Second, the virtual program had limited laboratory time on the part of the participants. As a result,students completed more research-oriented tasks (beyond data collection within the labenvironment). In contrast, in the face-to-face summer program, students focused more on datacollection in the laboratory than on

Furthermore, because the hands-on experiments are often used in a collaborativeway in student teams, the research has also studied the role of gender and ethnicity in the studentteams, developing best practices for building effective teams formed from diverse students.1.
