situated within cognitive empathy and reflects what we know about the developmental trajectories of children ages 4-6. This draws on research related to children’s development of theory of mind [6], and skills needed for cognitive empathy (e.g., understanding the feelings of others, recognizing and describing emotions, and perspective taking). Theory of mind, which is the ability to apply emotions, beliefs, thoughts, knowledge to oneself and others, and understand that the mental states of others may differ from one’s own is foundational to cognitive empathy development [6]. It between the ages of 4 to 6 that true theory of mind tends to emerge [7]. Thus, this project operates on the edge of children’s developmental abilities

The survey analysis revealed that many faculty members do not differentiate betweentransfer students and traditional students and may therefore not be sensitive to their uniqueneeds. However, faculty members associated with the ASSETS scholars, through serving asfaculty mentors, were found to be aware of these differences and are already implementingmeasures that reflect a shift in mindset benefitting transfer students. This paper presents thefindings of the surveys and the outcomes of the new mindset toward providing support to andenhancing the success of engineering transfer students.IntroductionThe responsibility for successfully attending and graduating colleges has traditionally oftenrested with the students whereby

The second module is for the student to finish their data analysis and startwriting. In the third module, the student finishes the draft manuscript and creates a plan fordissemination. Throughout the course, the student is also asked to reflect on different aspects ofthe research process and discuss with the research supervisor. The final product of the course is adraft manuscript that can be used to disseminate the results of student’s research.

This reflection in their responses show that students know gamified learningisn't like playing a game as they would outside of the classroom, but rather it is used as anothertool to further their education in a modern way. From the responses of these engineeringstudents, it is evident that the need for an overhaul in the typical engineering education learningenvironment is very much needed. While students are eager to accomplish new feats in theireducational career, it is difficult for them to achieve those feats due to the competitiveness that isfostered, whether directly or indirectly, and lack of encouragement to explore outside of

Consequently, they do not create enjoyment for students becauseit shields them away from balancing fun with learning and the entire process is repeated witheither different or same questions depending on the type of authoring employed. Project Fluud,which is presented in this paper, challenges the students to solve problems related to fluidmechanics in an interactive way. Project Fluud uses a game-based learning approach wherebylearning contents are implicitly embedded in the game to motivate students to learn whileplaying. This approach has been used to reflect academic content in several ways and hasproved to have positive learning effect in various contexts [4, 5, 6, 7]. However, only

The robot has two primarysensors: a reflectance sensor array used to sense line position and an encoder used to sensependulum position. The line sensor is connected directly to the Arduino Mega. An Arduino 2Uno is dedicated two responding to encoder interrupts to read the pendulum rotationalposition. The Arduino Mega and Uno communicate via i2 c. One novel
