the experiential foundation for developing an array of socialskills referred to as “peer-related social competence” (Guralnick, 1999).The purpose of this study was to explore: a) the nature of peer interactions duringengineering activities and b) the impact of preschool peer interactions during engineeringactivities in how they support preschool students to persevere during the activity. To thatend, the research questions are as follows: a) what is the nature of social interactionsbetween preschool students during engineering activities?; b) what is the impact of peerinteractions on students’ perseverance on task? The focus in this paper is on the latterpurpose, i.e. the impact of preschool peer interactions during engineering activities
data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA)tests in Minitab 20 with multiple factors and levels. Results with p≤0.05 were consideredsignificant. Two-way interactions between independent variables were also analyzed forsignificance. It should be noted that the asterisks in some of the plots represent data outliers.Results and DiscussionMathematics QuestionsThe math course analysis showed that none of the two-way interactions were significant(Appendix B – Table 6) allowing the main effects to be analyzed. The simple main effectsanalysis showed that all the factors that were considered had a statistically significant effect onstudents’ perception of how well they were doing in their math course: if they received helpoutside of class (p

course grade is accrued through achievement of assessment checkpoints. These checkpoints arearranged into four tiers – completion of which roughly demarcates the D, C, B, and A grade lines. Thecheckpoints are a mix of quiz and project assessments. Tier One, completion of which approximatelymarks achievement of a D, consists of four quizzes (Fundamentals, Functions, Logical Programming, andLoops) and two projects (3D Modeling and Applied Logical Programming). Tier Two, completion of whichapproximately marks achievement of a C, consists of two projects requiring synthesis of Tier One quizcontent. Tier Three, marking a B, consists of one quiz (Solving Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs)with ODE45) and one project (Solving ODEs in Simulink). Tier

The system uses onlytwo components, a smartphone that serves both as light source (via its flash) and imager, and aconcave mirror located at a distance of two times its focal length from the smartphone. A sourceof convective flow (e.g. a candle or air duster) can be placed in front of the mirror, allowing theflow to be visualized via the changes in refractive index that occur alongside the spatiallyvarying density, and the image is sharpened by placing a small aperture (e.g. black electrical tapewith a small pinhole) in front of the flash to limit the aperture, as well as to serve as a “knifeedge” that covers a

grading.”Specs Grading: Terminology and Features“Specifications grading” is presented as a means to restore rigor in a course, motivate students,and save instructor time. The term comes from an excellent book by Linda B. Nilson [1]; otherterms that are used include Standards Based Grading (SBG) [2], which was first introduced in K-12 education as academic standards for all students, and Learning Objectives-Based Assessment(LOBA) [3], which is based on instructor-derived standards as opposed to national standards.All three are premised on the idea that a student’s grade should be directly linked to theattainment of delineated outcomes. Nilson’s book presents a means of implementation thatincludes mastery learning, repeated attempts to demonstrate

Thequadratic formula can in many cases be used to solve quadratic congruences as long as we usemodular versions of the operations used to compute square roots, handle negative numbers byreduction modulo n and perform divisions by using multiplicative inverses.

persistence and collaboration. As in appendices 1 and 2, the systematicapproach of our project provided us with an extensive array of skills from research, design,construction, testing, and technical writing. Additionally, collaboration was vital to this project aswe learned how to communicate with different people and engineers and discovered how to spendour time the most effectively. The paper also highlights how student projects can be used forinnovative solutions to real-world problems and how to prepare engineers for future needs.References [1] M. M.

We then examined each student's runs in moredetail, assigning an incremental development grade (column "G" in Table 1) to each student,with an A grade being deserving of full credit, an F no credit, and B, C, D, falling in between.This gave us a sense of whether our heuristics were matching our "teaching intuition".Heuristic 1 (column "H1") did poorly, giving too many students high scores when the manualgrade suggested lower. The problem was because although egregious jumps in code size wouldbring the score to 0, just 10 subsequent runs back up near 1
