This paper investigates motivational differences indifferent student populations when participating in hackathon-type events to better understandhow these events are serving the diverse student populations in engineering programs.

withstudents across all majors and faculty working together from business, engineering technology,and liberal arts. Co-learning is an approach that allows students to work together in diversegroups and gives both high and low ability learners across various subjects the opportunity tolearn from each other (Sultan, Hussain, & Kanwal, 2020). On the other hand, co-teaching is acollaborative model of teaching wherein two or more instructors work together to teach the samecourse. A strong correlation has been found between the perceptions of collaborative teachingand the motivation for student achievement (Anwar, Asari, Husniah, & Asmara, 2021),providing insight into the potential effectiveness of this method of teaching.

From the student’s view calculus is initiallyunknown, remaining to be discovered and explored. There is nothing mystical about the curvesstudied in calculus. The curves can intersect, rise, fall, and have peaks and valleys. The curvesturn up, turn down and can have tangent lines and inflection points. If two curves intersect attwo points, there will be an area between the curves. Pick two points on the curve and there is

Good learning, like good work, is collaborative and social, not competitive, and isolated. Working with others often increases involvement in learning. Sharing one's ideas and responding to others' reactions sharpens thinking and deepens understanding. Examples:The instructor... • Provides discussion prompts that help to guide and elicit student participation in class discussion activities. • Facilitates class discussions by encouraging, probing, questioning, summarizing, etc. • Has students work on problems in teams

Each needs the other and both impact the other’s mission.Collaborations between industry and universities are key to America’s future success. Looking tothe future, industry will play an even larger role in university research efforts but competition forsuch partnerships will increase. To build successful industry alliances, universities shouldcarefully evaluate their IP policy, employ contracts that are clear and set appropriateexpectations, and focus on the value of the relationship as a whole as opposed to just a fundingsource for a one time project.Bibliographyi National Science Foundation, Science and Engineering Indicators, 2010.

Althoughresearch has shown CBE as being a highly effective learning tool, it pales in comparison to ahuman tutor5. Therefore, CBE should be used as a supplement to traditional instruction and notas a replacement8. In this investigation, we will determine how a computer-based system canmonitor student engagement in a manner comparable to that of real classroom teachers.II.

They couldeasily solve equations, but many of them lacked understanding of the underlying principle of theproblem. To use a “common sense” design was often challenging for them. They preferred tomemorize and repeat what they found in the textbook. Thus, they were excellent at memorizingthe equations. However, not all assignments were memorized. In my classes, I required
