Tomand Lindsey pursued e-textiles projects—LED bike gloves and glowing beanbags; Maddie,Maria, and Brittany constructed garments, Vanessa worked on reusable cloth menstrual pads,and Tiffany constructed hair scrunchies.3.2 Individual DocumentationStudents were asked to individually document their experiences pursuing sewing projectsthrough a digital journal document stored in a shared Google Drive. Students engaged in twodistinct documentation practices that resulted in - 1) Field Notes Entries and 2) ReflectionEntries each
hoc analysis of the results obtained when applyingthis strategy to existing student submission data. This allows us to investigate what feedback orboosters would have been earned by individual students in a real-life situation to validate thefeedback design before live deployment.Related WorkRewards, Operant Conditioning, and Intrinsic MotivationApplying rewards to increase student motivation has been widely researched in areas includingpsychology, education, and video games 1 2 17 . In 1940’s, Skinner formed the theory of operantconditioning to explain how a behavior can be shaped by its resulting consequences 15 . Bystudying the behavior of animals in experiments, Skinner formulated the underlying ideas ofpositive and negative reinforcement

Does the threshold vary by higher educationinstitution? We investigated whether the data supports using a singular combined threshold usingboth high school grade point average (HSGPA) and standardized test scores, or whether the datasuggests using another model for predicting success in engineering as measured by a six-yearengineering graduation rate.Background: During 2005-2015, 81% of all U.S. undergraduate engineering degrees wereawarded

has a much lower shrinkage rate than ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)which is another common plastic used in FDM printing. To avoid warping, a brim is added to thepart which expends the boundary of the first layer to increase the layer adhesion near the edgeswhich are prone to lift and warp. The printing speed/scan speed was set to 90mm/s which isabout 50% faster than the norm. The extrusion temperature is set to 210°C. The nozzle diameteris 0.4mm. The total estimated time is 6 hours and 11 minutes. The infill is set to 25% to preservematerial. The estimated material usage is 215g which is about $4.72. Figure 5. Chamfer operation Figure 6.
