The pandemic has also impactedthe participation of many international students (e.g., at Australian universities), as they wererestricted to online learning and teamwork through border and campus closures [24]. Thus, itis important to continue exploring the differing experiences and perspectives of internationaland domestic students when considering using team-based activities.Assessment. Burdett [5] found that students develop a more positive outlook on teamworkwhen they perceive that workload and assessment were carried out fairly. The students weremore inclined to feel that teamwork had led to a better outcome compared to workingindividually. Peer evaluations are an important way

Overall, given the small number of students in the program, this study provides a nascentlook at the relationships between satisfaction and learning. More structured analysis is needed.Conclusion Garrison and Archer's Community of Inquiry theoretical framework [11, 16] was utilizedas the theoretical lens for this study. The three essential elements for learning, social presence(SP), cognitive presence (CP), and teaching presence (TP), were clearly discernable in the study.The overlap of the three presences created a fluidity, which was well suited to a dynamiclearning environment [17].

With modern CAD software, many tests and visualization can actually be done on computer without wasting the time and cost to prototype. • Material Usage: The outreach program of K-12 technology experience built a small robot in 2009 that was solid inside.

ABSTRACTThe development of an undergraduate experiment in micro- and nanotechnology based on thedetection of chemicals via microcantilever sensors is described. The modified process allows theuse of a simple wet-etching station to produce the cantilevers using commercially availablesubstrates, which allows schools without access to clean room facilities to implement theexperiment. Simple data analyses demonstrating first-order adsorption kinetics and Langmuirisotherm have also been included to assist in the interpretation of the data. Assessment of theeducational impact of the experiment has shown a significant increase in domain knowledge andtotal engineering design experience of the students.
