Beyond the societal fascina-tion with AI, its introduction at the high school level is anticipated to correlate positively with theretention of students from diverse backgrounds in CS and related fields. Research has consistentlyshown that the field of computer science experiences high attrition rates among women and peopleof color. This limits the participation from underrepresented minorities and perpetuates underlyingbiases among decision-makers and leaders. The scarcity of diverse role models in CS remains apersistent concern as well. These issues lead to secondary yet serious consequences.

As mentioned previously, the CBA quizzes had tobe taken on either of two consecutive days at the beginning of the week followed by a remedialquiz given on Fridays of the same week wherein students were given extra credit for the correctanswers on the remediation activity. Several concerns about this format arose. One was: To whatbenefit was it to a student who personally mastered the quiz when he/she was paired with astudent who did not master the quiz? Although there was no formal study of this issue, weobserved that many students who performed well were eager to teach their mastery to those whodid not. The fact that the remediation was extra

peerreview has been suggested as an activity that aids transfer of knowledge to new situations, whichhas been identified as a critical issue in engineering education.19 Beyond peer review’s intrinsicpedagogical value, it is seen as highly compatible with the kinds of peer review situations thatprofessional scientists and engineers encounter in the workplace and in academic publishing.20,21Thus, peer review provides both a means to foster long-term improvement in our disciplinarycommunity’s scientific publications,22 as well as a means to add authenticity to writingassignments in order to increase student buy-in and motivation.23Our present work provides a history and case study of an experimental peer review design in aBioengineering capstone course

This paper describes theinnovative use of a motion simulation-based framework to provide active student participation inauthentic engineering experiences for learning about dynamic systems. The project’s theoreticalunderpinnings are based on situated learning where new educational material is presented in anauthentic context, and social interaction and collaboration are required for learning to occur.Through a learner-centered approach, students use physical simulation and large-scalevisualization to discover the impact that design decisions have on a dynamic system, whilegaining hands-on experience in configuring and operating

The outcomes include refined problem statements and proposed design solution(s). Stage 2: Design development. The purpose of this stage is to develop and analyze the details of the proposed design solution. Stage 3: Design verification.
