this investigation involvesassessing the potential impact of revising the assessment structure to integrate best practices.The key questions guiding this research are: 1. Does altering the final assessment structure significantly impact outcomes related to cognitive fatigue, considering variations in question timing—either in concentrated sessions or spread out over an extended period? 2. Can incorporating best practices into the assessment structure lead to distinct and potentially improved results?Literature ReviewAssessment StrategiesEducation employs a wide array of assessment strategies, and recent research sheds light on theireffectiveness and implications.

But this positioning of STS, as scholarship that can provide many critical insights,raises the following questions: How should this knowledge be shared with students? What kindof theoretical and pedagogical framework should guide STS-knowledge exchange betweenfaculty and students, so it does not become an exercise of

Sustainable course design, therefore, aims to build an onlinecourse with "sustainable" components that can be adapted to suit different teaching modalities [6].This involves creating a course with flexible content and assessments that can be hidden or releasedas necessary, depending on the modality of the course. By doing so, the course can be used invarious teaching modalities, including face-to-face, hybrid, synchronous, asynchronous, andmixed [7].In this paper, we examine how integrating Robert Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction andconstructivist principles in course design enhances instructional strategies, promotes a deeperunderstanding of concepts, and improves information retention

Due tothe complex and often transformative nature of these experiences, such learning can bechallenging to quantify and qualify. However, qualitative data from students who have theseexperiences offer valuable insight into the impact of such learning opportunities. This studylooks at students who

educate our students about the importance of integrity. Preventingcheating in our classrooms is an important way to do that.The Early YearsMy first introduction to students cheating occurred in an exam I was administering whilepursuing my doctorate. The students had been seated in columns with an empty space betweenthem to make it more difficult to view the work of others. Midway through the exam, one youngman suddenly began rubbing his eye and blinking as if he had something irritating it. I thought itodd when the gentleman reached into the seat beside him and picked up a mirror compact tocheck the irritation. When he then began leaning back further and further to gain a better view ofthe paper behind him, I recognized that he was attempting to

In order toaccomplish this goal at the University of Pittsburgh, we are pursuing two main research routes:MEAs as teaching tools and MEA as learning assessment tools. Under the first – using MEAs asa teaching tool – we are focused on three main activities: 1. Development of effective model eliciting activities: The creation of MEAs for upper
code is actually running on thetarget. This development cycle is both practical and educational and is widely used in industry.Specifically, these tools include MicroSoft Robotics Studio (MSRS), LabView from NationalInstruments, and Matlab / Simulink from the Mathworks. The Matlab / Simulink environmentwhich is arguably the most pervasive in the STEM community, is already tightly integrated intothe research activities and educational curriculum at Villanova and other institutions. Simulinkwas therefore chosen as the design environment for the project.The advantages of Matlab for developing educational robotics applications has not goneunrecognized.

In this scenario the VIP isstill considered an interesting add-on/supplement.

What, exactly, had these students’ experiences with engineers been? By developing somebaseline for what an engineer is, and what students’ interactions with engineers and engineeringhas been, we can extrapolate some ideas for implementing engineering literacy into a curriculum. Common understandings of engineers and engineering often begin with stereotypes.5,6Students, when asked about their experiences with engineers and engineering, brought severalstereotypes as their basis for examining those experiences.
