In addition to the peer review questionnaire, students also give an initialgrade of the report according to the rubric in Appendix B. The ‘peer-review questionnaire’ servesas the primary guiding tool for the peer-review process. The questions are inspired mainly by thework done by Smith [10] but tailored to the course content and to the Engineering Physics students.The questions link the abstract and subjective standard, such as ‘the objective of the lab is clearlyidentified’ to executable objective evaluation action like ‘paraphrase the

The purpose of these activities are three-fold: a) give students opportunities to link theory and practice in a hands-on fashion; b) formconnections amongst each other and c) keep the hands-on component of each activity withinclass time. With these constraints, the activities are designed for groups of 2-3 using acombination of materials that students already own and others that are easily obtainable and canbe readily taken to class and

The lab provides the studentswith a DBT sequence while investigating a specific additive manufacturing method. Theinvestigation allows students to apply and learn the engineering design process, the use ofsimulations in engineering design, experimental tensile testing, quality assurance methods, andsophisticated statistical analyses. The feedback from the students indicates that the DBT labsequence; a) provides an appropriate level of challenge, b) keeps students engaged, c) enhanceslearning, and d) equips students with multiple, different tools for a successful DBT cycle,without a

He recorded the node voltages; however, he did not write his verificationresults. The only sentence he wrote was, “LED does light up,” which was the main result of thelab activity. Michael’s lab write-up did not demonstrate lab data presentation, analysis, andinterpretation. The fill-in-the-blank format of EE 221 might limit Michael from presenting labdata using an appropriate figure/table, describing lab data analysis results, and interpreting labresults using outside sources.(a) A portion of the result section from a CE 212 lab report sample by Jeffery (pseudonym)(b) A

iscontrolled by instructional design and can be modulated by it. CLT presents the major buildingblocks that emphasize instructional design that reduces extraneous cognitive processing, namelya) remove barriers to learning by reducing cognitive loads of complex tasks, b) invokeinstructional design with real-life tasks to incentivize learners and drive forces for complexlearning, and c) apply methods of adaptive learning to progressively assess expertisedevelopment by examining the levels of effort and the schemata followed in problem solving.The level of complexity of a concept depends critically upon the way in which it is taught. Toachieve simplification, instructors must find the right representation. In line with CLT,visualization enhances

The other half of the lab grade is based on the writeup of a complete labreport for the three-point bending lab.
