machine had more issues for students than the first one. For the firstdesign, being the novelty of the concept, the students were not able to have to much input in thedesign or implementation process, but they did experience the interaction with experts in thefield while doing evaluation and searching for implementation options. For the second machine,the students had an existing device and it was a more dynamic and interactive process betweenfaculty and students because it was a modification/improvement task. There was not that muchinteraction with the previous team because of the period of time between designs. Moreinteraction existed between the senior project teams that sequentially participated in the completedevelopment and use of the

should be informed that the rationale of using a heaving buoyas a case study is driven by both the simplicity of the experiments and the accessible analyticalsolution that can be used for comparison when the results are presented.The ExperimentsAs previously stated, the experiments used in this project are designed to be accomplished bystudents in an at home setting and using a minimum of materials and instruments. Because of thisgoal, the instructions for building the buoy stress being creative and resourceful. In what follows,we present a synopsis of student instructions for (1) building a buoy, (2) collecting a video of theheave motion, and (3) using the MATLAB code to analyze the video and share the results.

student progress and the quality of learning experiences. This is acomplex problem because, compared to problem solving, design problem framing is less studiedand harder to predict due to the higher levels of student agency involved. To address this issue,we developed a survey to measure framing agency, which is defined as opportunities to frameand reframe design problems and learn in the process. This study extends past research whichfocused on the construct of framing agency and developing an instrument to measure it followingbest practices in survey design, including using exploratory factor analysis of pilot data, whichrecovered six factors related to shared and individual consequentiality, problem structure andconstrainedness, and learning

Accordingly, the proposed senior projects should includeelements of both credible analysis and experimental proofing such as design and implementation asdiscussed in ABET criteria [1]. Additionally, the senior design seminar organized at the end of theacademic year can serve as an excellent culminating experience in the program of study when itfocuses on research and design projects that have practical value to consumers or to industrialpartners.For both technology majors at UNI, the senior design course is a
