students, the challenge should be relevant and simulate an actual situationin the professional field they are pursuing; b) Through the solution, students develop the desiredlevel of competency mastery, and c) students should realize that to generate a solution, they needthe disciplinary knowledge provided in the course. Our educational model delivers this in whatwe call a learning block [1].In this contribution, we present the design of the Modeling the Movement courses as the contextof this study. We describe the methodology and report an overview of students' perception of thecourse in general, each of the modules, and the challenge. We discuss the results highlighting theaffordances of the course design and the areas for improvement.Context of

, (b) demonstrating the relevance of course content to their future careers, and (c)improving their professional networks by requiring them to connect with a professional. To complete the assignment, students teamed up in small groups (of two or three) andidentified a job that they could imagine pursuing directly after their studies. They investigateddetails about the job, e.g., typical work, salary, opportunities for remote work, work-life balance,and next professional steps beyond this job. They then connected with someone working in thisjob (or in a very similar position) to conduct an informational interview. Again, specificinformation was required: what they typically do, what they like most/least about their job, andwhat their

How does the classroom observation protocol for undergraduate STEM (COPUS) assess the level of instructor-student interaction?Experimental Concept and Theoretical BackgroundThis study was designed with the application of a hands-on kit consisting of a pendulum bob,retort stand with clamp, string, and portable stopwatch for the ECP mode, while the traditionalmode (non-ECP) consists of Logger Pro software, retort stand, pendulum bob, string, and aPhotogate for sensing the bob’s motion. This experiment focuses on the determination ofacceleration due to gravity and how the bob string’s length depends on the period of oscillationof a simple pendulum experiment.

This work is focused on Applied PhysicsSeminars where students by using a simulator software "Speed Calculations for TrafficAccidents" – SCTA study the process of collision in a real situation, developing a role similarto the one performed by a forensic investigator where by means of the skid mark and type ofpavement he can estimate the initial vehicle speed. In the Physics laboratory, teams of studentsmust: 0) Read the original paper about "Speed Calculations for Traffic Accidents" and payattention for general teacher’s explanation during class laboratory, 1) Use Design Thinkingmethodology for project

Engineering Northeastern UniversityAbstractIt is well known that some energy always is dispersed to the surroundings in the form of heat,mechanical energy, sound, and many other ways. Our team was brought together in Cornerstoneof Engineering 1 and 2, an accelerated introduction to engineering course at our university, by theinspiration to conserve energy using these concepts. The team, students pursuing degrees inchemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering, aimed to design a device that would utilize theenergy generated from everyday practices that are otherwise wasted. We focused on conservingenergy in the game of basketball, a high-energy and globally popular sport. The goal was to designand build a device
