-based exams with a partial credit mechanism that rewards students for post-examreflection. Intended to be a replacement for hand graded traditional essay style exams, thegrading effort once applied to assigning partial credit and giving formative feedback is now spentreviewing student post-exam reflections. Descriptive statistics and quasi-experimental studyresults from an initial implementation of this pedagogical technique in a linear algebra course forengineering students are presented. While the CAESR4PC approach is developed with mathcourses in mind, it is equally applicable to other subjects that have a significant amount ofmathematical/analytical content.IntroductionThere are probably as many different types of math exams as there are
difficulty of pinpointing where interest comes from, and theunknown impacts of multiple experiences. In response to the second research question, What role does their educational and familybackgrounds play in their success, as measured by GPA?, we found a, non-significant, positiveassociation between mothers’ educational attainment and daughters’ success. There was not astatistically significant association between fathers’ educational attainment or family engineeringbackground with participants’ success. This may suggest having a highly-educated female rolemodel can impact students’ long-term success. Indeed, previous research has found female rolemodels within engineering departments (i.e., faculty) play an important role in influencing

This paper will demonstrate the use of the verbal protocol method asshown by an in-depth analysis of one of the subjects from this study. The type of data that can be obtained andthe various questions that can be answered using verbal protocol analysis will be discussed. This researchmethodology can be a very valuable tool to assess how engineering students approach open-ended designproblems. This information is vital to engineering faculty who must teach the design process to freshmen. Introduction Design is a key

architectural and interior design education is diverse. It rangesfrom energy efficient lighting and daylighting to studies that assess the effect ofilluminance upon finish materials and color interaction. This often leads to attempts tosqueeze lighting into an already crowded curriculum and is compounded when efforts aremade to develop complex study models of interior lighting environments. In short, there isoften little time to explore these topics in adequate detail.This paper explores an alternative to the study of interior lighting environments throughuse of a Virtual Reality Theater. It discusses the development of one of these highlyrealistic virtual environments and how it is being used to introduce students to understandand interpret varying

of significant value in the ISEdiscipline. With this in focus, this research was conducted to study the following researchquestion: What is the impact of scaffolding of activities on student motivation and learning in aquality analysis course?. This paper discusses the scaffolding strategy implemented to addressthis question and presents the findings. Scaffolding is an instructional strategy that aims toreduce the amount of cognitive effort that students have to make to learn the materials bybreaking down the material into more manageable components.Instructional scaffolding is based on the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) conceptintroduced by L. Vygotsky. ZPD refers to the range between a person’s ability level that isreached by
component and, ingeneral, nothing has come “off the plate” in terms of more traditional content nor have we addedtime or credit hours to most curricula. Rajabipour and Radlinska put it well in 2009 when theywrote: “As engineers are greatly responsible for development of infrastructure and technologiesnecessary for a sustainable world, engineering curricula must address sustainability and preparestudents for designing engineering systems with long term social, economic, and environmentalbenefits” [1]. This need for better educational methods and tools is further reinforced by the factthat sustainability is at the forefront of engineering needs as shown by the National Academy ofEngineering, the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge, and ABET outcomes
