shouldbe wary of how early technical STEM courses may impact students' approaches to projects lateron and should look for opportunities to let students bring in pieces of their identity or otherinterests. For example, an RPI assignment lets students tell creative stories with alternate endingsto practice branching or Fiesler et al.'s CS1 assignment asks students to write a program to makedecisions about a list of college applicants [32, 33].Considerations for readings and HCD topics-- While the students' responses to the first HCDreading assignment were more tech-centric than HCD-aligned, their responses to later readingassignments were more balanced. This shows that shifting a perspective takes time and it isworthwhile to have multiple

; Castellan, 1988) to analyze the means of our originalitem scores (scaled 0-3) across science content area and grade-level to determine the extent towhich these different classroom types differed in terms of the degree (or level of rigor) to which agiven item was implemented. This second analysis allowed us to expand our understanding fromthe crosstab analysis to consider the degree to which each item was present in a given context. Wealso conducted post-hoc Dunn tests (Siegel & Castellan, 1988) when item mean differences werefound to be statistically significant to identify the item level(s) in which these differences occurred. Findings and DiscussionDue to the exploratory nature of our work, the following

Further, some students come into the institution with credits thatcan be applied to some required classes or electives, resulting in more potential for specializedcoursework.

and an enhancedlearning environment.Problem DefinitionOne of the first steps in introducing a case study is clearly defining the problem and its context,followed by determining a goal for the analysis, identifying key facts and relevant data, andproposing viable solutions [51]. As the literature indicates, incorporating case studies is a form ofactive learning that engages the students via narrative, which “put[s] [students] squarely in theshoes of real people wrestling with real dilemmas” [52]. Cases also allow students to exercise themoral imagination, which is the ability to view a situation from a variety of perspectives anddiscover new “mental models” for decision making [53].In the complex case of Everest pollution, students will need

column based on the testing system was 6 ftat SLU and 4 ft at Rose-Hulman. Furthermore, the capacity of the hydraulic ram used for thecompressive tests is 50 kips. The column was designed to buckle about its weak axis at differentloads depending on effective length to illustrate elastic and/or inelastic buckling. The resultingsection was a W3x2.54 GR 60 “junior I-beam” (3 in. deep I-beam) acquired from Gerdau that istypically used for cross beams of box truck floors. The I-beam has slightly tapered flangessimilar to an S-shape compared to a wide-flange beam typically used as a column, but can still beused effectively to accomplish the objectives of the module.

A datapath with 8 registers, 1 decoder and 2 multiplexers but excluding an ALU At the bottom of the datapath as not shown in figure 10, a function unit which consists of an arithmetic unit and a logic unit (ALU), as well as a shift unit is usually connected at the bottom of figure 10. An input named FS (Function Select) is used to choose which operation to act on the data from the registers that are released by the multiplexers. Full adders and 2’s complement conversions are usually used to build the arithmetic unit. Additional multiplexers inside the function unit are used to form addends and logic shift
