Concepts and cognitive tasks are the first set of codes that respectively capture the content of students' speech and their cognition according to Bloom’s taxonomy. The next layer of codes are emergent descriptions of the students’ thinking during the problem solving. Finally themes are inferences we make about the students’ thinking which intend to explain why they succeed or

Instructors and visiting faculty to the class would always present aninteractive lecture on a given topic before students dedicated time to applying material coveredin the lecture to their own manuscripts. The authors found that these activities did indeed helpstudents learn how to locate primary literature, organize disciplinary

principles undergird the course. This problem in thedynamics curriculum has been recognized for some time, as Ellis and Turner [1] considered theuse of concept maps as a remedy to this problem as early as 2003.However, the content of dynamics is not the only thing that can cause students to struggle toorganize its ideas. The way it is taught may also be a part of the problem. Most textbooks (andhence most courses) first use kinematics to describe motion and later use kinetics to relate forcesand accelerations. This organization makes perfect sense if you are designing a mechanism: adescription of the motion is needed first, followed by a calculation of the forces that will act ondifferent parts. However, little design work occurs in an introductory
broadened theresponses received and ultimately how responses were categorized. Data was transformed in twoways to assist in this interpretation: (1) a frequency table and (2) a concept map. Table 4 was a frequency table comprised of loosely grouped precodes intended to assistin identifying the strongest themes emergent from the participants’ self-reflection. The mostfrequent response was specific to the execution of the same engineering design challenge theytaught: increasing the number or type of materials available. The second and third most frequentresponses involved increasing the available amount of time for teaching engineering andimproving time management, respectively. These two precodes aligned well with what the PETreported
challenging and on which they would like to have more instruction and application. o The PI devoted one session to go over different topics mentioned in the teacher feedback and specify exactly where and why they would be critical to certain projects, and whether teachers would be expected to master them in depth or simply have a broad knowledge for now and go back to them later. o The PI also created a concept map with the teachers that showed the dependency between the different sub-topics and techniques and concepts and mapped these components to specific lab research projects. ● Furthermore, Week 2 activities were changed to encourage
’ learning in a mechanism design class. As such, students wereasked to submit reflections at the end of each project. Following are some example promptsgiven to the students for reflection:1) Draw a concept map that shows the connections you have made between engineering andstorytelling.2) What does "Storytelling with Machines" mean for you personally beyond the class?3) What were your top 3 learnings from this class? Why?4) What was the most challenging aspect of the class?5) How will you apply what you learned in this class in your career?These reflections prompted the students to think about the connections they were able to makebetween storytelling and engineering, reflect on the challenges and successes, and lessons learntthrough the process of

Piazza discussion forums were set up to provide studentswith a venue for posting questions that the TA, instructor, and other students could collaborativelyask and answer. Other planned hands-on activities included interactive whiteboard activities ongravity system layouts, concept maps, and brainstorming, on paper or free digital platforms.

aspects of engineering and the social and ethical context. This curriculum has beenpreviously recognized by the National Academies of Engineering as exemplary [43]. The in-person course uses activity-based learning that is student-oriented, such activitiesinclude worksheets, concept mapping, and role playing, for example. The students areintroduced to core concepts from science, technology and society (STS) and then readings onresponsible innovation are brought into the course. The classroom activities involve stakeholdermapping, analysis of case studies and activities designed to demonstrate how the STSframeworks can be used to assess socio-technical systems. For example, one activity involvesusing actor network theory to analyze the
nodes.Step 6: Briefly compare your systems map with others on your team. How are they similar? How arethey different?Step 7: With your team, discuss and make notes on the questions below. Refer to specific points on thesystems map to explain your answers. A. Consider actors, contexts, and objects. Which of the nodes were on a majority of the concept maps? Which were only on a few? B. How are the actors, contexts, and objects impacted by the problem? How are the actors, contexts, and objects impacted by a possible solution? C. Which node(s) had the most connections on each map? What does this tell us about potential tensions between nodes that exist within the problem space? D. What does this systems map tell you about
