redundancy. MSE-2 was removed because of redundancies withMSE-1 and to reduce the length of the final MSE-SE scale. MSE-3 was also removed forunclear wording (i.e., because of the initial use of the term qualities rather than properties).Because MSE-7 and MSE-8 were examining the same concepts as MSE-9, they were removedfrom the scale. MSE-10 was similar to MSE-11 and hence removed. MSE-16 was removed as itwas similar to MSE-15. After discussion, both MSE-17 and MSE-18 were eliminated becausethese concepts were emphasized in general chemistry classes. MSE-20 was also taken out of thescale because some of the course instructors did not believe the reflected content that wasadequately covered during the course (time constraints in certain sections of

frustration.In order to test the ATCL methodology, it was implemented in a second calculus course offeredfor engineering students. To quantify its performance, the midterms and final exams’ grades andtheir pass rates were compared with those obtained in the previous year (2017) course, taughtusing traditional lectures. A detailed analysis of each of the topics evaluated in the exams is alsopresented in this work. In general, the results of the ATCL implementation are significantlybetter than those obtained from the 2017 lecture-based course.The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, the ATCL methodology isintroduced along with all the details regarding the structure of each course session. Section 3presents our case of study, that is

Once airborne, the helicopter main rotors produce thrust, which (ifgreater than the drag force) results in movement. Helicopters require four basic systems to achieve flight. The four systems are identified inFigure 2. Two of the systems - an engine and controls - are found in other vehicles (cars, boats,trains, etc.), but the function of helicopters necessitates special design considerations that makethe other two systems - the main rotor and anti-torque system - unique.□ Engine.

Asthe philosopher of science, Thomas Kuhn, once stated, “Traditional engineering curriculumcreates people who are efficient researchers and highly productive, but this approach does notencourage creativity or innovation” [1] Teaching novel problem solving is challenging,especially with students who lack real world experience in engineering practices, or creativedesign. Focusing on design in engineering education is an opportunity to encourage creativityand technical innovation arising from an engineering discipline.While Kuhn’s comment is still relevant some 20 years later, this educational philosophy hasevolved.

. Implicit bias on student teams is often theorized to influence the prioritization of ideasexpressed by white male students over those expressed by their female counterparts orteammates of color [1]. In addition, a gender-correlated division of work often occurs onstudent-teams, with men doing the more technical tasks of the project, leaving women to oftenfill the remaining organizational and managerial positions on the team [2], [3], [4]. Reasoning forthis type of behavior is often linked to differences in student learning goals for a course, whetherthat be mastery orientation (motivation to understand the material), performance orientation(motivation to earn grades or favor) or performance-avoidance orientation (motivation to avoidappearing less
