educator provides students with four to five prompts to explain ascience concept (e.g., “how are pressure and velocity related in a fluid flow?”). Ideally, theseprompts should be selected in such a way that students can see connections across the checklistitems. Best practice also includes instructions for students to identify key pieces of supportingevidence from learning activities that can be used in building scientific explanations. In makingthese explanations visible, such as in a checklist, the educator can monitor and assess students’evolving thinking, and adapt their lesson plans to address gaps in understanding.“Cool It!” Mini-Unit DescriptionThis section presents an outline of the fluid mechanics mini-unit designed using the

analyzed for scholars who are part of the STEM Ambassador program versus those whoare not. Results indicate positive trends for students participating in the STEM Ambassadorprogram in all the areas assessed as shown in Table 11 below. Scholars who are also part of theSTEM Ambassador program are retained at higher frequency in the program, in their originalmajor, and in a STEM major than the Scholar-Only cohort. These results, while promising,require further study to better understand the role the Ambassador program plays in buildingcommunity and student success and differences that may exist between the population that self-selected into the Ambassador program versus those that did not.Table 11.

The primary difference in timing was that the fourth-year students were given the survey towards the beginning of their semester, whereas the first-yearstudents were given the survey towards the end of the semester. For the former, the survey was giventowards the beginning of the semester so as not to conflict with major assessments that often occur inthe last half of the semester. For the latter, the survey had to be given towards the end of the semesterbecause the survey asks questions related to experiences that happen in the first few months duringthe transition to university.Figure 6 summarizes the response rates for the 267 at SFU ENSC and the 44 students at VIU.

While there was not any official assessment doneduring this time, none of the students who had taken the class during this period had ever usedLabview in any projects outside of the instrumentation class. In fact, many of the students whohad taken the class did not remember that they had used Labview at all when it was mentioned incasual conversation.6. Recommendations for Future Applications After seeing the success and proliferation of the Arduinos in the Mechanical Engineeringprogram, the next logical step would be to include them a little earlier in the curriculum. Basedon other literature, Mechatronics is a popular class to include Arduino based education [5,10].Since there is a version of a

It is important to note thatno previous information about the elastic resistance was given, so the students were able toqualitatively compare and to classify them.The activity can be divided into four stages: pre-class, during class, post-class, and studentperception. Pre-Class and Post-Class Activities consisted of providing equal quizzes beforeand after the class (they can be seen in the appendix), with questions covering both low-order and high-order thinking skills related to elastic forces (Hooke's Law and non linearones) and energy. The purpose of these quizzes was to assess and compare students'understanding before and after the class. Approximately 350 students participated in thisactivity.

In addition, several of theparticipants in this study struggled to assess the quality of the solutions that they were puttingforward. This evaluative component was particularly troubling for these participants because thecriteria for judging their solutions were not fully defined in the problem statement.
