method to a new transfer problem. Transferring learning from a single example to anew problem requires that learners induce a schema for that kind of problem from thatsingle example and then apply that schema to a new, contextually varied problem. Thissingle-example approach to teaching problem solving usually results in studentsattempting to mimic the process for solving the problem while ignoring the semantic,structural characteristics of the problem. As a result, when asked to compare problems ortransfer solution methods to more contextually varied problems, student typicallygeneralize problem solutions based on surface level similarities among problems (Chi etal, 1981; Dufresne, Gerace, Hardiman, & Mestre, 1992; Hardiman, Dufresne, &

Because the other conditions, including the curriculum, have notbeen changed, and this is the only electrical engineering course offered to freshman students,studying the effect of changes in this course on student outcomes throughout the semester is oneof the goals of this research. This correlation suggests that Arduino projects may play a role inimproving student academic performance by creating a positive view of the application ofElectrical Engineering in their daily life. Moreover, despite variations in average course finalgrades between the two semesters (72.35% and 75.86%, respectively), the consistentrelationship between Arduino projects and reduced low GPAs implies that the
