-related projects. Such an observation was coherent with the findings by other educators11.It became critical to broaden their views of sustainability and sustainable engineering designfirst.Pawley et al. proposed to use six factors to evaluate an engineering project at the early stage12.These six factors were systems, time, energy, modeling, people and scale. They could be usedseparately, or in pairs to assess the sustainability related opportunities/concerns in a project. So, a6x6 table could be formed (see Table 1 attached as Appendix B) and an engineering design ideashould be questioned with respect to the factors labeled in the corresponding row and column12.It would be ideal to fill in all cells (except the shaded ones) with some questions

How do students’ thinking processes differ based on mathematics, design and engineering backgrounds?This paper specifically presents the findings and discussion in order to investigate the firstresearch question by providing evidence for the diverse ways that students respond to open-ended, ambiguous design tasks. Three objectives guided analysis of the data and will providethe over-arching structure of the findings section: (a) How do students use their first hour of problem solving in this design task? (b) How do students score their design and mathematical thinking abilities? (c) What are their pre-college mathematical and design experiences?Research MethodsContextAt a

During the week “A” lab period, students are introduced to the lab facility andperform an ungraded activity where they manually perform relevant calculations using a smallsubset of previously recorded data. They are then presented with a full set of previous data sothey can perform relevant calculations and plot pertinent information. This prelab data exercise issubmitted before the week “B” lab period. During the week “B” lab period, students run thelaboratory to generate their own data set. A draft A3 report is then submitted prior to thefollowing week “A” lab period. Students peer-review the draft A3 reports in lab before theyperform the manual activity for the next laboratory. Final A3 drafts are due at 11:59 pm

virtual environment needs to create an experience similar to manually manipulating laboratory equipment. This was accomplished by: a. Creating modules that are interactive; the student operates the simulated equipment in a similar way one would operate the physical equipment. b. Incorporating real data from physical experiments. Then, during the simulated experiments, the student collects data and later analyzes it. c. Emphasizing safety both as separate topics, such as general lab practices and radiation safety, as well as throughout the virtual experiments (such as a radiation

called for a shift in the focusof student learning in engineering design from specific content knowledge4 todisciplinary core ideas and practices2. This shift requires that educators, curriculumwriters, and researchers develop student learning experiences that share central aspects ofprofessional engineering situations – i.e., problems that are open-ended, ill-defined, andoccur within rich, socio-material contexts5. To develop informed approaches, thecommunity needs a deeper understanding of the phenomenological aspects of studentlearning and engagement that unfold in rich, multilayered learning situations6-8. In thiswork, we examine how students learn to manage “messy” design situations9, in whichthey must make assumptions, accommodate
. Therefore, after segmentation, these features were extracted by the featureextractor. Then, these features were input into the classifier. Basically, the classifier can recognizethese 3 objects with very high accuracy (89.1% for the digital scale, 91.3% for the pump and98.4% for the Xplorer GLX. The relatively low accuracy of the recognition is attributable to theKinect’s inability to cope with reflective surfaces which reduces the scanning accuracy.

IC can promote self-directedlearning and help develop professional problem solving skills because the format teaches thestudent to find and interpret the information needed to solve problems13.Challenges, however, exist with the Inverted Classroom regarding student (a) preparedness forclass, (b) attention span while watching online videos, and (c) misconceptions of fundamentalprinciples [15]. Basic guidelines, by Zappe et al., and Rais-Rohani et al.9, to overcome thesechallenges include (1) requiring an online quiz before class to ensure preparedness, (2) keepingvideos less than 30 minutes, (3) fixing student misconceptions by spending the first 10 minutesof class answering questions or holding mini-lectures, and

ConclusionsBuilding on the success of our programming narratives LC, we have developed three differentstrategies integrating writing that incorporates narrative elements into problem-solving courses forcomputer systems majors and non-majors: (a) a module to develop narrative and writing skills forcomputer programming courses; (b) student-developed stories serving as contexts for computerprogramming courses; and (c) interdisciplinary creative writing and computational thinkingcourse for non-majors. Such intentional interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving willpromote learning transfer, providing students with the skills to succeed in college and beyond
