explanation may point out limitationsof the other item (e.g., choosing Option A because “Option B cannot carry a thing.”). We applieda sentiment classifier (NLTK Vader [24]) to determine the degree that each comment waspositive, negative, neutral, or compound. Our findings showed a statistically significantdifference in the positive sentiment score when students referred to selected options, t(146) =5.87, p < .01. However, whether student comments related to the selected option or the notselected option, students used similar levels of neutral and negative words in their reasoning. A closer look at students’ positive comments revealed that students used shortercomments to give evidence for selecting an option. The low number of compound

For example, in Fall 2021, 10 undergraduate studentsenrolled in this course in the beginning but 3 of them ended up dropping the course. ii) Thequality of the course projects of undergraduate students is much lower than that of graduatestudents in general. Based on students’ feedback, this is mostly because a) the undergraduatestudents have limited research experience and b) some of the undergraduate students need tospend lots of time and effort getting familiar with programming. What’s worse, the situation isn’tgetting better in Fall 2022 compared to Fall 2021 despite the efforts being made to designsimpler

In total, eight engineering students were interviewed. Fourof the participants identified as men, three participants identified as women and one participantidentified as nonbinary. Two participants identified as White, four participants identified asAsian, one participant identified as Latino, one participant identified as Indigenous, and oneparticipant identified as Black.

However, the approach presented here is to explicitly develop curiosity before moreopen-ended real-world projects, in a “walk before you run” paradigm.

provided the big picture status of the project.Over the course of this project, students were successful in characterizing the dynamic forces andvibrations experienced via a design of experiments (Figure 2(a)). These results along with thegraduate mentor’s numerical analysis have been documented as a peer-reviewed conferenceproceeding [1] and eventually as an archival journal publication [2]. Students also finalized thedesign of an actuator and manufactured a functional prototype (Figure 2 (b) and (c)) along withperforming psychophysical tests to understand human perception to the vibration and its changes(Figure 2(d)). The human perception study provided useful information to determine theessential aspects of force and vibration that needed to be
