Successful groups are advantageous for students in different ways: 1) groups enhancestudent’s reasoning and higher thinking; 2) groups help students learn to accommodate otherstudents’ perspectives about problems; 3) groups help students develop cognitive processing andintegrating information; and 4) groups help students learn how to give and receiveencouragement and foster acceptance among their team members (Bossert, 1988). Other authorshave similar articulated that benefits of group work include learning teamwork skills, improvingdeeper learning, and fostering engagement if students find themselves valuable members of thegroup (Sage, Vandagriff, & Schmidt, 2018). However, placing children in a group does not meanthat they will cooperate (D. W

Three dominant themes emerged from studentresponses: 1) Self-improvement; 2) Empathy/Kindness and 3) Helping. These themes provide abetter understanding of the kinds of values that are important to students and offer insight into theirinterest and motivation as it relates to learning in engineering mechanics. Given the abstract,decontextualized mode in which engineering sciences are typically taught, instructors can work toidentify and develop these personal connections and enhance student motivation and expectancyfor success in what are foundational areas of an engineering curriculum

engineering education is to equip students with appropriate technicalknowledge and skills that are useful for effectively creating solutions to complex real-worldproblems [1], [2]. Students have perceived the introduction of abstract scientific concepts inundergraduate engineering courses such as those that are used in electrical circuit analysis to bedifficult due to their inability to verbalize their knowledge [3], [4]. Apart from the formalinstruction widely used in undergraduate engineering education, instruction calls for innovativeapproaches to teaching electrical circuit courses [5], [6]. The students’ use of fundamentalmathematics to prove key circuit concepts is becoming a helpful tool for them, especially inbridging understanding of circuit

Additionally, we alsofound that this difference was only significant for students who did not have prior programmingexperience. This indicates that early submission of assignments can help students who do not haveprior programming experience in improving their overall course performance. By understandingthe major student interaction patterns, we believe that instructors and educators can better designlearning experiences for students in CS1 courses.1 Introduction Computer programming has historically been difficult for students to learn [1, 2].

These populations of studentsare likely to have low social capital or pre-existing networks in areas that would support theircollege experience [1]. Therefore, the peer and faculty mentoring and cross-cohort socializationhave been integrated into the program as ways to help expand the social capital of students whomay need it.Social Capital is the availability, accessibility, and activation of resources via social relationshipsaccording to Lin [1].

This trend appears to be, unfortunately, present at a majority of U.S.institutions of higher education [1]. In order to address this critical issue, engineering facultymembers at this university developed a program for a subset of incoming first-year engineeringstudents, called the Engineering Learning Community (ELC). The ELC was first implemented inthe Fall 2016 semester, and since then has been iterated each academic year based on studentfeedback, best practices, and, beginning in the Fall 2019 semester, support from the NationalScience Foundation (NSF) in the form of S-STEM scholarships for financially qualified students.The

Unconscious bias (or implicit bias) can be defined as “a prejudice in favor of or againstone thing, person, or group compared with another usually in a way that’s considered to beunfair. Biases may be held by an individual, group, or institution and can have negative orpositive consequences” [2]. Unconscious bias is pervasive and affects our decisions, even whenwe think we are operating objectively. Yet because of identity-protective cognition, engineerswho are immersed in a culture of objectivity often pride themselves on only looking at facts, andcan have strong emotional reactions and

Over-body wings tend to force the cardownwards but would increase the drag force on the car. This capstone project investigated theground effects on a scaled F1 car by testing the down force and drag force with and withoutground effects.
