The students filled out the surveys withthe advisors and then discussed the answers. The academic advisors then worked with each studenton a plan to address any problem areas. The survey questions are shown below in Table 2. The tablecompares mean values for each question between the participants’ first and second semester.

The OER efforts reported in this paper have also resulted in positive studentcomments in end of semester course evaluations. The author plans to continue to expand use ofOER, including replacing textbooks by OER in other courses that he teaches.ConclusionsReceiving a small OER grant helped the author create online resources to help students learn touse Simulink simulation software, and complete Simulink labs outside of class. MovingSimulink lab work outside of class hours has resulted in savings of class time; this time savingshas allowed the instructor to introduce active problem solving in class and interactive reviewsessions

The interactions have the potential to engagecritical thinking, highlight multiple perspectives, all to improve instruction and student learningin ethics education. In other words, given that students’ mental models are different from expertinstructors, the survey findings may help instructors become more effective or aware as theyincorporate micro-lessons, modules, or problem-based learning in their curriculum.What else might engineering and computer science faculty and librarians do? Asking questionsabout student experiences could help educators gauge how to frame a lesson plan and clarifylearning objectives. From there, relevant learning

The study will be expanded to include students in other engineering sciencecourses at both universities that discuss engineering problems and engineering within asociotechnical context and comparing their feelings of belonging with students in similar courseswhere engineering problems are defined more narrowly. Another avenue for future research isinvestigating the learning environments of various courses and how those environments affectstudents, especially students from underrepresented groups.ConclusionFindings of this preliminary study suggest that using a

We randomly assigned students to experimental condition, and used the exact sameactivities across conditions—just switching the order of activity and instruction. These featuresstrengthen the causal conclusions we can make about the benefits of exploring before instruction.We plan to replicate and extend these findings with new samples and new topics, withadjustments to the procedures as needed (e.g., requiring students to complete the Geogebra™activity).To our knowledge, this is also the first study to use an online

rate for this course is 36%. In response tothis repetition rate, engineering design as an epistemic practice was introduced. Epistemicpractices are vital to student success when learning discipline-specific skills and knowledge [3-5]. Epistemic practices are systems of processes for generating and evaluating knowledge used todevelop epistemological understandings. In this case, an engineering design framework serves asan epistemic practice to better understand calculus concepts [4]. The ability to generate, evaluatecalculus knowledge and then plan an approach to use engineering to solve calculus problems aretwo major categories of developing epistemic understanding.To engage students in engineering design as they learned calculus, calculus

]. Mental rotation is an important case ofspatial visualization requiring a cognitive process to transform or rotate two- or three-dimensional (3-D) objects [17]. Spatial visualization tasks require multi-step manipulation and apossibility of more than one strategy to reach the problem's solution [22].In contrast, mental rotation is a single step and a primary strategy to get to a solution. Spatialvisualization includes the capacity to plan for the necessary steps beforehand and monitor one'sthought process during problem-solving. This ability to monitor one's problem-solving processincreases spatial visualization's link to executive control.Anxiety & Spatial ContentAnxiety disrupts working memory, though it is unknown how this disruption

themes, and assessment of the effectiveness of the themed feedbacks. For the purpose ofassessment, the plan is to look into students’ revisions based upon the themed feedbacks, andcompare them with the revisions based on the traditional and unsorted feedbacks. It will then beexamined whether an improvement is observed concerning how well the instructor’s commentsare addressed.Work in this study to date has explored lab reports completed by students as a group. It would bevaluable to also consider students’ individual writing performance. One current idea is to requirestudents to write individual reports for the first and last lab, so that their individual performancecan be assessed at the beginning and end of the semester.ConclusionThis work

This structure allows for highly customizable plans of study for students, and allows themto develop discipline specific knowledge that support their future career goals. The difficulty isthat the levels of proficiency that may be determined through course-level data is ratherproblematic to assess.
