has shown that using a written feedback process instead of an oral question andanswer (Q&A) feedback process increases fluency and usefulness of comments in anintroduction to design course, E4, at Harvey Mudd College.1 This study further examines writtenfeedback in the same setting and quantifies the degree to which students of different gendersbenefit from providing and receiving written feedback compared to oral feedback. The peerfeedback process is examined for design review presentations during a preliminary conceptualdesign project for first and second year college students in a conceptual design course. Theauthors of this study are able to note the differences in these topics as a function of the gender ofthe commenter. The study

”To achieve the second goal, we implemented a Q&A forum inside canvas and used Pizza featuresto manage it (Fig. 3). Students are encouraging to participate in the forum, but no grade is assignto this to avoid competitiveness. All participants can vote for the best answer and the highest-ranking answer will show always on top. We create a forum for each one of the mainlabs/assignments on the course, this way student can quickly find help on the project they areworking on. Fig 3 Q&A ForumResultsTo evaluate the benefits of this project we used some of these educational technologies indifferent classes.

lecturecovered relevant realms of underwater technology, such as ROVs, AUVs, ASVs, and static sensor arrays.ROVs (Remote Operated Vehicles) were of particular interest, showing students several ROVs similar towhat they would construct in the coming weeks. The lecture ended with a Q&A, where students wereencouraged to ask questions about the 10 week plan for the quarter and the underwater robot we plannedon building.Mechanical design and testingFor the design portion of the workshop, students were taught about design in Solidworks CAD software.An upper mechanical engineering student showed students how to use the sketch tools in CAD softwareto design laser-cut parts for later fabrication in the course. Once 2-d part designs were complete
