Consequently, the reserved set had to be used for the Spring2014 semester. It was later found that the brick needed a firmware upgrade only, whichalleviated the concern. Necessary third-party support for the EV3 is still under way. Forexample, the current LabVIEW for LEGO Mindstorms module doesn’t support the new EV3bricks. According to one of the product support engineers at the NI LabVIEW R&D section23,the new module is planned to be released in the first half of this year. Therefore, more advancedLabVIEW-based projects will have to wait until the supporting function blocks

The Pathways program provides academic advising to an average of 15 students perweek throughout each semester. Over 240 students were provided academic advising servicesduring fall 2013 semester. LCOE advising includes help on academic plan development, courseenrollment, unit loads, program requirements, prerequisites, graduation requirement reviews, aswell as intrusive academic advising for students that are academically at-risk.

This is done through a combination of traditional lecture,interactive computer tutorials/ case studies, traditional foundry lab experiences and the use ofCAD/CAM systems to produce CNC milled patterns and AM produced patterns and molds.Our engineering programs are hands-on. We firmly believe that the educational experiences aregreatly enhanced by projects and the making of things.

and final examinations constitute the primary summative assessment approacheswe use to evaluate student learning. Examinations include multiple-choice, short answer, fill-in-the-blank, and true-false prompts and are written to address both concepts and problem solving.For a typical examination, a student will have approximately 2 hours to complete 25 to 30questions. Before the examination, as part of a short 5- to 10-minute review session embeddedwithin a scheduled lesson plan, we identify which learning outcomes will be addressed. We thendevelop the examination with the goal of evenly distributing the questions among the specifiedlearning modules and outcomes.Summary of Quiz ResultsTable 4 summarizes quiz results for twelve offerings of the

Once they reach a conclusion, the students are presented witha second scenario and repeat the process: predict-discuss-observe-explain. The instructor andteaching assistants move throughout the classroom during the cycle and gauge the classes’ levelof comprehension. Subsequent class discussions led by the instructor depend on how well the classunderstands the concepts. The process is repeated for a total of four scenarios.

However, other significant variables include planning [2], time management [3], andinformation processing [3], among others. This suggests a covariation between general traitsascribed to high-achieving students and their GPAs, which aligns with the general thinking thatgood students will have good study habits. Students seem cognizant of this as their GPA appearsto have a significant correlation to their perception of their higher-order cognitive skillimprovement [4].
