three “Physics Pause Days” into the schedule, with each the day before afinal re-take. No new material would be covered on these days, and the only plan was to reviewmaterial and answer questions relevant to the four “last chance” quizzes. This gave students thechance to catch up and successfully addressed their “pacing” concerns from the first semester.Specs grading courses (see references) take different positions on the number of re-takes astudent is allowed. Some instructors allow unlimited re-takes, while others allow only one. Inmy first semester I allowed four, with the fourth coming at the student’s convenience or no laterthan the final exam period. This failed on multiple fronts. Not only did it involve far too muchgrading and quiz

Beta (15-22 Hz)is associated with engagement and active problem-solving. High Beta (22-38 Hz) waves arecorrelated with highly complex thought, integration of new experiences, or excitement. Due tothese high frequencies, these can often manifest in neurological issues like insomnia and mania.The next lowest brain waves range between 8 and 12 hertz and are referred to as Alpha waves.These waves are often associated with the brain’s resting state, often associated withcoordination, calmness, and learning.

grade.IntroductionIntroductory STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) courses typically have highattrition rates. For STEM bachelor’s degree students in the United States, 48% leave STEMbefore completing their degree. They either switch to another major, or exit college beforeearning a degree [1]. This is of significant concern, as demand for skilled professionals in STEMis high, and attrition reduces the number of graduates available to fill these roles. STEM fieldsare critical for innovation and economic growth, and a lack of STEM talent impacts a country’sability to compete globally [1][2][3][4]. Research has shown that (among other factors),students’ belief in their own competence, how interesting or enjoyable they find tasks, and howmuch is required of

away” from the creator. It can be difficult to preventthe game from taking the spotlight too much from the material. From experience, sometimessimpler is better, especially for retention of concepts. Additionally, large classes can inhibit gamebased learning in certain ways. Large classes make games more difficult, as designing an activityfor 5-15 people requires different skills and resources than designing for a class of 60+. It maynot be feasible to even try to implement a game when no one could play reasonably well in aclass time period due to the scale of a large class. Some ways to mitigate this issue involvecreating teams such that the overall number of “players” are reduced and more manageable, butit is still a definite concern that

CapitalSocial capital refers to one’s access to valuable resources that are sourced from socialrelationships and useful in advancing life goals once mobilized [25], [43]. The types ofrelationships from which individuals can source social capital include peers (e.g., classmates)and near-peers (e.g., coaches) from mentorship programs [25], religious and familial affiliations,professionals from volunteering and networking events, and faculty members [44].Many studies investigate the impact of social capital on education and career outcomes. Onestudy finds that the size of students’ information support networks of faculty and staff aresignificant predictors of GPA and that students with higher GPAs have larger peer informationsupport networks [45

introduces new design variables over a stationary bed design. When milling a larger/heavierraw material, the added material weight can reduce acceleration and machine performance. As aresult, the machine will experience higher inertial loads, resulting in additional friction and fa-tigue load cycles. Second, the changing part mass will also vary the momentum, and ultimatelyaffect the resistance to changes in direction. These kinematic concerns are greatest when theweight of the raw material is greater than the weight of the CNC.(A) CNC Mill Axes Motion (B) Usable Area (Green) to (C) CNC Mill Motion (Red (D) Usable Area (Green), (Red Arrows) Overall Foot Print (Red).

For example: there is a common misperception(found most often in the creativity literature) that portrays engineers as “highly structured,Adaptor-inclined”. Based on personal experience (both in and out of the classroom), we believethis to be a false image of engineers and decided to test its accuracy. In addition, we wanted toexplore the
