The informal nature of hand sketchingmakes it especially useful when quick adjustments and real-time feedback are needed. These on-the-spot sketches enable efficient decision-making and help prevent misunderstandings or errors.For example, a simple sketch on construction sites can clarify complex plans, prevent costlymistakes, and streamline project execution.Fostering Creativity and InnovationCreativity is key to effective problem-solving, helping students think beyond traditional solutionsand develop new ideas.

So, tofacilitate their comprehension of experimental design, a relatable hypothetical situation involvingthe evaluation of the effect of a secret ingredient in cake baking was discussed. That discussionhelped to ignite their thought process and it also gave an opportunity to discuss the need to havea control group when designing experiments. Following the cake ingredient discussion, studentgroups discussed during lecture how to devise experiments to find the effect of water content andpozzolans. With our guidance, they formulated plans to determine the effect of varying water-cement

One student found it difficult to “look underneath for connections andflip it in your head,” and others were impeded by the cables and probes attached. To address this,the research team plans to design a PCB with silkscreen labels for the test points to evaluate howclearer labeling impacts students’ debugging methodology.Five students expressed uncertainty about permissible modifications to the circuit and lab setup.Explicitly stating any prohibited changes in the exam instructions may help students begindebugging more confidently and efficiently. For example, the next exam version will clarify thatstudents are not to cycle power on any test equipment, as

. Introduction and Educational Research GoalReverse engineering is a process whereby a person deconstructs a device to better understandhow it operates, including features that enable its capabilities [1–4]. Motivations for such anendeavor include the desire to repair a device, a plan to update the device functionality, or anaspiration to identify the design elements that are publicly disclosed given their presence in amarketed physical product. Deconstruction of physical hardware and its documentation are oftenreferred to as a “teardown” – a process that is legal and encouraged in industry, though thesubsequent use of the lessons learned is limited [5]. While teardowns play a prominent role in themedical device industry, including as a means to keep

different types of ADHDexperiences.8. Future Work and LimitationsA major limitation to this work was the small sample size used to generate an LDA model as anLDA model is more accurate with more data for training. While the ideal sample size for LDAmodeling can vary, previous literature suggest using a sample size of at least fifty withpreference for larger sample sizes for more accurate and stable results [73], [74]. We plan toaddress this limitation in our future work by using APIs to data mine social media platforms. Bydata mining social media posts, we will be able to gather large amounts of data to train our LDAmodel for more accuracy. Further, the LDA method alone analyzes words and does not considercontext or syntax of those words (e.g., the
