. By the end ofthe semester, 75% of the students reported being satisfied with their assigned teams while 7%were not satisfied (there was decrease in the number of students with neutral opinions).Overall, these results are very encouraging, since it reveals an overall positive perception and itdoes not reflect a drastic change of opinion as the semester progresses. Indeed, based on anecdotalfeedback, instructors have noticed a decrease in the number of interpersonal conflict within thestudent teams compared with previous versions of this course. Unfortunately, the instructors didnot collect any data prior to the use of junto for a more rigorous comparison.Figure 2: Survey results illustrating student’s perception about the team selection and

A couple challenges affect the primary goal. First, unlike mostU.S. research institutions with a seperate college of engineering, CSE grants degrees in thephysical sciences, math, computer science, and engineering. Students in science and math areless encouraged by their course curriculum to seek out the use of design and prototypingresources so those students need additional programming and attention if the Anderson Labs is tomore closely reflect the diversity of the college as a whole.

objective is to make the hook from stainless steel so it does not rust or stain the tools. AVernier Calipers were made available to students to measure tools and hooks dimensions. Theinstructors explained how to read a Caliper.The students should make 3-4 hooks (figure 5) for a separate tool. Each student has to make hisown design, reflecting his creativity and his own imagination. 3D-printing of these hooks is agood exercise to test them on a real pegboard. A more in-depth analysis is performed, such asheat transfer through the hook, and stress analysis (figure 6) to test the strength of the hooks tohold the objects they were designed to support and search the weaknesses of such an object.

person holds the idea that they are incapable of achieving success in a math class, they have a “fixed” mindset about math. These students place themselves at risk of failure because they do not work towards growing in their understanding of mathematics [9]. A person’s dislike for math often occur during the beginning stages of school [9]. Moreover, one’s dislike and uncomfortableness towards math may remain with a person for many years and can lead to a lack in self-confidence by hurting one’s rationale and thoughts [4]. Possessing a fixed mindset can hinder one’s potential for math success as this mindset lacks self-reflection and embracing new ways of learning [3]. A person with a fixed

In the student population in SJSU, it is typical that around 10% of the students inthe design graphics class possess some extent of CAD training. However, this is not expected tosignificantly bias the results.

Even though contract cheating and ghost-students are extremely severeviolations because of the awareness of the deviousness of the act, the underlying motivations forthese types of violations often reflect the same causes as other forms of academic integrityviolations [4].Students have cited a variety of motivations for engaging in academic
