This is also incontrast to open-ended design challenges where students are simply given materials to tinkerwith, usually by trial and error, until they find something that “works.” Building Math designchallenges are research-based – the math investigations develop a base of knowledge thatstudents draw upon to make design decisions.Other guiding principles for designing the units included: (1) activities should be relatively short (maximum 1 week), (2) math topics should be appropriate for and important ones in middle school, (3) students work in groups, (4) algebraic relationship and reasoning are highlighted

is an increasing awareness that equipping students with technical knowledge in theirchosen disciplines is insufficient. Researchers, educators, and industries are beginning torecognize the importance of communication, teamwork, leadership, critical thinking, and manyother skills that enable an individual to perform more effectively and harmoniously in real-worldworking situations [1]. These social-relation interpersonal skills, or soft skills, are increasinglydemanded in today’s competitive global market [2]. For instance, Klaus [3] found 2010). Theimportance of soft skills has been well documented by the literature [4].The development of soft skills is imparted through applications and experience of socialinteractions, which relies on the

Therefore, the innovation scale relatesto the skills used to apply the knowledge along the efficiency scale to support the generation ofnew knowledge. It seems clear that computational facility plays a role in increased efficiency,but we suggest that it plays a role in innovation as well. We hypothesize that one of theseinnovation elements is the application of computational strategies. Briefly, these allow theengineer to represent vague problems in a tractable way and to gain some understanding ofwhether each potential

In general, techniques for analysis and design are taught in boththe time and frequency domains, and in the undergraduate curriculum are applied to continuouslinear time invariant single input single output systems. While it is true that the techniqueslearned are very powerful and cover a large portion of the techniques the students will find beingemployed in industry, the students generally complete these undergraduate courses with littleunderstanding of the limitations of the techniques they have learned. The students often fail torecognize that most systems they will encounter in the real world are inherently nonlinear, timevarying, have multiple inputs and multiple outputs, and that controllers are often

A pivotal part of thisformative assessment is the follow-up peer instruction associated with any quiz questions forwhich there is not a group consensus on the correct answer (Tanner and Allen, 2004). Thispursuant discussion not only helps students who are struggling, but also allows students whobetter comprehend the material to cement their understanding by explaining the concepts to theirpeers (Cortright et al., 2005; Tanner, 2009b).Group activities, termed Explorations in our course, emphasize enduring understanding overfactual knowledge and process over details.

We show that this measurement methodology can accurately capture studentpreferences in real-world scheduling data and can successfully separate out time-in-weekpreferences from time-within-exam preferences. Errors are quantified using both log-likelihoodwith per-reservation data and root mean square error (RMSE) with data aggregated to the timeslot level. We discuss both estimation and simulation algorithms for constrained discrete choicemodels and discuss how Monte Carlo simulation can be used to obtain uncertainty predictions forpredicting expected usage.1.

Students then preformed two classroom activities duringwhich they competed against one another using game theory principles. The first activity, titledThe Farmer’s Dilemma, had the students decide if they should advertise their products. Thepotential outcomes seen in Figure 3 were given to the students, and after competing three roundsin pairs they determined who made the most money. After tabulating the results, a discussion wasmade on why the groups trended toward a certain direction and examples of this occurring in real-world situations. Figure 3.
