can be visualized inthat setting.The research plan entails an initial phase of testing the games within the co-requisite pre-calculusMath 126E/26B courses at UNLV and CSN during the Spring and Summer semesters of 2024,followed by iterative refinements based on feedback. A pilot study of the game focusing on basicarithmetic operations and linear and quadratic functions was conducted with a smaller studentcohort during the Summer of 2023. Moreover, we have piloted/tested for usability and classroomintegration logistics in Summer 2023 in 5 pre-calculus I courses at UNLV and CSN. The resultshelped us refine the delivery mechanism of the games and Canvas application activities. We arecurrently collecting data from a larger cohort of 8 pre-calculus
Section Conferencedesign was economically feasible. However, the group followed the existing plan very closelyand pushed back when asked to investigate other methods as they had a feasible design.Group 5 focused much effort on alternative mining methods. The high water table made itimmediately apparent that traditional truck and shovel operations would be complicated. Thestudents knew of dredges but had no previous design work with them. They researched pipe sizesand pump characteristics required for the mining operation. They designed an onboard primarysizing circuit to reduce material handling costs and a discharge into the pit to eliminate finerecirculation. The initial box cut to float the dredge was another opportunity for novel ideas

Virtualworkshops continue to be held to further reach international audiences. The idea of makingsmall changes to incorporate process safety into any chemical engineering course remains acornerstone of the workshop with multiple breakout sessions designed to show faculty that thismethod can be done with relatively little effort while satisfying ABET outcomes. Furthermore,this can be done without department permission or making changes to the four-year plan. It ismy opinion that process safety should be a core chemical engineering course, but I also believethe more students are exposed to process

Their learning, as it focused on thebasics, additionally introduced them to the most common materials used in Construction in theUnited States along with the codes that determined the local building practices. Overall, the goalof CNST 112 is to ensure that the students come out of the class equipped to read plans, doquantity takeoffs, and understand construction materials and methods.ChallengesChallenges faced by the instructor were the classroom setting and the huge amount of lecturematerials that were given by the previous instructor only a week prior to the beginning of thesemester.

The hybrid approach consists of remote and face-to-face delivery of thesame course. The structure of the courses under consideration: Engineering Physics II –Electricity and Magnetism is Lecture (3 hours) – Recitation (1 hour) - Laboratory (3 hours), andLinear Electrical Systems and Circuit Theory for Engineers is Lecture (3 hours) – Recitation (1hour) - Laboratory (4 hours); The laboratory includes one hour-lecture and three hours hands onpractice.

These examples highlight the potential ofsupporting first-year students to set requirements as part of framing engineering problems. Yet,they offer limited insight into the actual processes through which this occurs. The current studyaddresses this gap.MethodologyStudy designWe used design-based research (DBR) study, a methodology developed in the learning sciencesthat jointly develops and studies a learning design while also testing a theory of learning in theform of conjectures [16, 17]. This approach relies on instantiating theory into a design andtesting under real-world conditions, iteratively, with careful analysis of learning processes,learner
the curriculum at HBCUs. One of the main hurdlesis the limited resources that many HBCUs face, including outdated technology and a lack offunding for game development or acquisition [9]. For GBL to be effective, schools need the righttools and infrastructure, as well as support for teachers who need to be trained in how to use thesenew methods. However, with funding often tight at HBCUs, it might not always be feasible toinvest heavily in new technologies. Another concern is making sure that games align well withcourse objectives and aren’t just flashy distractions. Educators have to carefully plan how gamesfit into the curriculum without compromising on the quality of the content [10]. Plus, not everystudent will respond to game-based
