academicresources and maximizing opportunities in their college environment have a relationship withstudents’ academic achievement and the progress they make with their learning [1]–[3].Satisfaction with college outcomes has also been found to have a relationship with studentengagement in academic activities [4]. Active classroom learning strategies have facilitatedstudents’ involvement in course learning. Such pedagogical strategies that have improvedstudents’ engagement with course learning and academic achievement in engineering classroomsinclude project-based learning, problem-based learning, flipped classroom, cooperative learning,questions, and discussions [5], [6].Furthermore, it has been found that motivation has the strongest relationship with

). Its purpose is to combine information literacy skills with thescientific method. It approaches the process of assessing sources by using the following steps: • Define context. • Find a source. • Use any Evaluative Framework (like CRAAP, RADAR, or CCOW). • Critique/Apply the Scientific Method.CEI can be used as an overall framework for finding and assessing literature intended to be usedin research projects [10]. In addition to the actual evaluation process, students are able todetermine the context of the information using their own knowledge of their profession. As theylearn more about their chosen discipline, they can use CEI to improve their information literacyskills [11]. CEI makes an effort to consider the needs of

engineering students should provide at least five things to lead to students’further academic success and prepare them for the job market: 1) material mastery, 2)communication, and collaboration, 3) software/programming skills, 4) learning andmetacognition, and 5) confidence. Students in traditional lecture-based classrooms may not betaught these skills [1][2]. Numerous studies have shown that active and cooperative learningclasses are better at addressing these than traditional lecture-based classes [3]. Some examples ofActive learning (AL) and Cooperative learning (CL) [4] are 1) Flipped classroom, 2) Studentpresentation, 3) Student projects, 4) Student discussion, and 5) Student group work.A traditional calculus class is often content-driven and

This model still permits roomfor traditional laboratory and project components.IntroductionIn standard teaching, course topics are covered on a set schedule and exams occur at set schedules.If students have not learned the material for an earlier portion of the class, the course moves alonganyway and focuses on new more difficult material that builds on the previous material thatstudent still does not understand. This promotes a fixed mindset promoting the idea that if youdidn’t get a concept, you never will. At the end of the course, students may only have a partialunderstanding of the material and may be

and epistemic curiosity, engineering identity, and self-efficacy will be used to gauge student progress [2]. As a result, the Industrial Engineering (IE)department adopted the ECP idea with a focus on implementing home-based hands-on activitiesfor two courses. Learning a specific idea can start at any point, but the ECP concept starts withthe presentation of an experiment to teach the students a theory. This greatly improves thestudent's ability to retain the taught theoretical topic. The ECP concept is based on the MobileStudio project designed by the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to boost students' interest andsuccess in electrical engineering [3].

Although this jump is not impossible, it is unlikelybecause at rest the heart rate does not normally fluctuate that much. Therefore, this indicates apotential source of error from our heart rate. With a better quality heart rate monitor there wouldlikely be less jumps in the heart rate over time.ConclusionIn this project, we were able to successfully create a chest strap that generates power from theuser's own body temperature.
