Inthis lesson, we first introduced the characteristics of a sonar sensor, including sending out asound wave to detect objects, reflection of the wave from a nearby object to the sensor's receiver,and the calculation/estimation of the distance based on the speed of sound and the sound's one-way travel time. For students' mini-challenge, they were asked to program the robot totrack/follow a moving target based on the collected sonar data between the robot and the target.Students were very happy to see that their robots were able to follow a target moving in a straightline.Encoder - Translation and Rotation: We also introduced the encoder sensor and discussed

These data allow for reflections on how studentsare performing on each class subject, as well as give the instructor of that subject specifics aboutwhat topics might be causing difficulty. It also allows for identification of questions that mightnot properly assess knowledge of a specific topic.Outcomes from the sophomore exam and FE exam can also be used in conjunction with oneanother. One question posed while observing results from the sophomore exam was whetherthese results projected to the eventual performance of students on the FE

If so, the performance ofthe students would occur, at best, around the Application level. It is more likely that other levelswould then be re-scaled to reflect average performance occurring around a mean of 2.5 (betweenComprehension and Application).

These initial ideas were turned into a coding scheme and applied tothe dataset, omitting codes that were not relevant to the research focus (e.g., design aesthetics) orthat were found to be redundant. This coding scheme was refined further at another research labmeeting; per recommendations for qualitative researchers, disagreements in coding werediscussed.66 The chemical engineers involved in the project reviewed the scheme and confirmedthat it was ecologically valid,67 meaning it authentically reflected their understanding of
