Pre-College Engineering Education

Paper ID #33711Assessing Elementary Students’ Engineering Design Thinking with an”Evaluate-And-Improve” Task (Fundamental)Nicole Alexandra Batrouny, Tufts University Nicole Batrouny is a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at Tufts University. Her engineering education research interests include upper elementary engineering education, integrated science and en- gineering, collaboration in engineering, and decision making in engineering. For her Master’s thesis, she uncovered talk moves used by 4th grade students that fostered collaborative, disciplinary decision-making during an engineering design outreach program. For

Such classroom change was announced in the previous class in person,posted on LMS, and via emails typically at the beginning of the week as a reminder.The instructor who showed up to the classroom might be one of the three instructors, but notnecessarily the home teacher all the time. The students did not need to change their plan when adifferent instructor showed up. The instructors just needed to explain how team-teaching worked.Given the limited room capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic, the students from each sessionwere partitioned into A and B groups. Depending on how much content needed to be delivered inperson, some classes were on the AB-Potion schedule, when A group

Free-body diagram I is drawn to calculate the support reactions. The supports at A and D are smooth self-aligning bearings, which exert no bending or torsional couples. All unknown internal forces and couples have been assumed in their defined positive directions: normal force: tension, shear force: clockwise moment, and bending couples: positive curvature. Free-body diagrams II, III, and IV, define the internal force system within each of the three continuous loading regions, A-B, B-C, and C-D, respectively. Figure 2. Free

This makes a comparison between the pretestconcept inventory score and student Statics grades relevant (see Figure 1). Note that these gradesare listed numerically; 4.0 is an “A” grade, 3.5 is a “B” grade, and so forth to 2.0 as a “C” grade.Because the Strength of Materials course prerequisite requires that students pass Statics with a “C”grade, there are no grades lower than 2.0 on the horizontal axis of Figure 1

The quantitative parameter identified to be the most closely related to this criterion was therate of success of students in the subsequent courses following statics (e.g., strength of materials,dynamics).Step 2: AnalysisA root-cause analysis was subsequently undertaken once the two quantitative criteria wereidentified. This analysis led to the following conclusions: 1. The high non-completion rate is likely linked to: a. The pace of the course, which may not correspond to the preparedness of the students entering the course. b. Inconsistencies in the grading practices of instructors teaching the course. c. Instructor-centric pedagogies. 2. The inadequacies of students’ statics knowledge and

Partner A will be Partner B’s reviewer and vice versa. 3) The partners will consider each other’s roles on the team. Partner A may ask themself, “What is Partner B working on? What should Partner B know about the project?” Partner A will then come up with a set of questions (at least 5) to ask Partner B that will provide them

There is a lotof evidence that math anxiety robs individual’s working memory (Beilock & Willingham, 2014).The working memory's "space" or capacity is some fixed amount that varies from person toperson. It is used to solve problems and reason. If part of the working memory is occupied byanxiety, it is taking away from the fixed capacity that can be used to come up with a solution(Beilock, 2008). There is also neurological data that supports these findings (Young, Wu, &Menon, 2012).Attribution: How students attribute their failures and successes is also tightly linked to howstudents perform.

Kate similarly sees success as being future-oriented but also brings attention to the process of becoming successful. To Kate, “success is a state function.” A state function means the path taken from A to B is independent of the route taken. Therefore, there are many paths to being successful. While Kate notes grades
