(a) Figure 1: (a) fNIRS cap on the participant, (b) prefrontal cortex channel placementDesign taskWhile wearing the fNIRS cap, students were asked to complete a word-tracing task to recordbaseline activation in their brains. This type of baseline recording is typical amongneurocognitive studies [15], [16]. After the word tracing, participants were asked to rest forthirty seconds by staring at a crosshair. Students were then prompted to construct a concept mapusing paper and

hierarchystructure. They can show how different branching concepts are interlinked between each other.Cross-links facilitate creative thinking and show additional complexity by understanding howdifferent branches of topics relate [10]. The hierarchical structure is usually structured to showthe thought process of the person making the concept map. Typically concept maps areconsidered more complex if they include more concepts, make deeper hierarchies, and add cross-links between branches. Different scoring techniques exist for evaluating how well peopleunderstand a concept through scoring or weighting parts of a concept map in different ways,which can help instructors and researchers measure understanding of a topic [11].

which provided the opportunityto share freely and candidly about their experiences. Due to the nature of the study, research design,and context, the authors identified the following limitations: (a) small sample size; (b) self-developed survey instrument; (c) convenient sampling procedure.Although students enrolled in this course were provided the same survey, the authors are keenlyaware of factors that impact students learning experiences, particularly individual learning stylesand learning needs. The survey did not require students to list their preferred way of learning anddid not invite them to disclose specific impediments to learning. Future research in this area maybenefit from including such information and will be a topic of high
than80 percent correctness for post-lab surveys. The results of the self-identified assessment wereverified by analyzing results from multiple-choice questions.The first question was Figure 15 A, which evaluated students' knowledge of identifying drawnlogic gates. Surprisingly, 67 percent (Table 3) of students could identify the correct logic gate thefirst time without using the BEADLE curriculum. This stemmed from the fact that students hadbriefly covered this material in the lecture before completing the assignment. Nearly the entiretest population selected the answer correctly the second time, as 99 percent chose the correctsolution.The question from Figure 15 B tests students' knowledge of Boolean operator symbols, which issimilar to the

This means not interrupting when someone else is talking.The instructors will also provide the scope of the items and talking points for discussion in eachmeeting to the cornerstone and capstone teams.2. Assessment ToolsVarious assessment tools are planned to assess the research questions and to help improve theimplementation of the peer mentorship model for future semesters. Specifically, a pre and post-activity survey was designed, and some of the questions are listed in the Appendix for both thefirst-year design and senior design cohorts. The questions (in Appendix B and C) were designedbased on

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
