At thetime we were first imagining how we would create such a video game, we thought that, if it didhave an impact on learning, the impact would be most apparent in students’ conceptualunderstanding of the course material. Therefore, to evaluate the impact of the game-basedteaching intervention, we focused on comparing students’ scores on established conceptinventories.

Abstract: One of the primary missions of any engineering program is to provide a well-roundededucation that combines all fundamental concepts of the given area with an adequate exposure torelevant contemporary areas. However, the exponentially growing body of knowledge –particularly in emerging areas of engineering sciences – makes this mission an increasinglychallenging proposition. More novel content from emerging areas need to be integrated into thecurriculum to ensure that our students can be successful in today’s competitive job market. Onthe other hand, the economic and political realities of today’s academic environment

The sources ofbiomass are everything from crop wastes such as pecan shells and coconut husks to coal. Sincemany of the sources are waste materials and have little or no cost, production is affordable.If bio-char is produced in the quantities needed for widespread agricultural use, the addedfertility of bio-char soil would increase production of crops, but also cause problems.

The interview questions were strategically categorized into two groups:self-efficacy and interest. Self-efficacy questions aimed to gauge students’ confidence intheir ability to master the course material and apply their learning. Interest questions, on theother hand, explored their engagement with the topics, personal connections they formed,and intrinsic motivation to delve deeper.
