" text on the question] affect density. So yeah. I think they're (APF for both elements) gonna be the same. [clicks the Submit button]”At the beginning, Ray briefly mentioned the density equation when referring to atomic weight,similarly to Max, and paused to rethink. Ray then approached this question using relationshiptransfer between knowledge: A (APF) isn’t affected by B (density), but C (atomic weight) and D(atomic radius) affects B, thus A isn’t affected by C and D. Although the final answer is correct,the thinking process here did not evidence a direct conceptual understanding of the APF and howit relates to other parameters as Max did. However, Ray was able to make sense of this questionusing different connections of knowledge

Both groups had a similar number of engagements in (d) generatingideas, (e) prototyping, (f) reflecting, and (g) revising/iterating. However, the numbers indicatethat Group 2 had more engagement in (b) building knowledge and (c) weighing options andmaking decisions compared to Group 1. For example, in one report, Group 2 stated:“The group decided on the specific idea we will be moving forward with. Initially, we werebetween designing a replaceable, external attachment that dissipates force by breaking, anddesigning a porous layered helmet structure that

consisted of two sections. In Part I of the survey, students were asked to rate the extent towhich they relied on the following during their completion of this project: a) their own priorknowledge of properties and behaviors of materials, b) knowledge they gained from the course(lectures, readings labs, etc.), and c) their own research that they conducted for this project tofind new information outside of what they already knew or learned in class. Students rated theirresponse on a 4-point Likert scale from “Not at all” to “A significant amount”. In Part II of thesurvey, students were asked to rate the following statements regarding the impacts of the courseas a whole and the Campus Re-Engineered project on their impressions of the field of MSE, on

Stehle received her Ph.D. in 2010 from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Miami. After completing doctoral studies, she did one year of postdoctoral research at the University of Florida. From 2012 to 2014, she joined Bluestone Global Tech in Poughkeepsie, NY as a senior research scientist. She worked as postdoctoral associate at Oak Ridge National Lab from 2014 to 2017 on 2D materials and devices. From 2017-2019, she worked as an assistant

(a) (b) Figure 5: (a) Material formulation constraints and (b) candidate material objectives being applied in the Citrine Platform.The Citrine Platform GUI allows students to tweak ML parameters and see the effects in realtime through data visualization (Figure 6). The generated candidate materials show modelpredictions of how varied compositions and processing parameters might affect a givenfilament’s properties and performance. A process known as ranking is performed to comparecandidates in which the model quantifies the performance of each candidate under a certaincriterion. The two main scoring criteria include exploitation (highest performance) andexploration (highest uncertainty). The
the attraction to the nucleus and the repulsion from non-valence electrons. More electronegative atoms have a higher Zeff. The Zeff values shown here are very rough approximations as the reality is more complex than a simple canceling out of charges from the nucleus and core electrons. (B) Even with noble gasses that have full valence shells, the electron density can shift slightly, resulting in weak bonds between atoms. This means that despite full valence shells, an electron near a noble gas still feels a slight attraction towards its nucleus. Since these bonds are so weak, noble gases only form liquids and solids at extremely low temperatures. Figure 2: Interface for drawing an interatomic potential and seeing the dynamics of the atoms
essential componentsincorporate into the overall flow of the narrative [29-30]. Then strategies for incorporating theinstructional content were developed considering a) the core educational value of the MaterialScience concepts is not compromised and b) a smooth integration of instructional content with theoverall theme of the game is achieved. Finally, the assessment structure that was designed toevaluate student learning of these concepts through TMEG. Different assessment mechanisms suchas informal feedback throughout the game (e.g., game scores), performance-based rewards (coins),and comprehensive assessment (quiz at the end of the game) were used.2.3 Development: This step focused on the technical development of the game using Unity 3Dgame
