Furthermore, theopen-source nature and modular design of the proposed testbed allows anyone to add new features(e.g. tasks, sensors) to design new experimental paradigms in the future. This adaptability makesthe testbed a valuable resource to neuroscience researchers. The pilot experiments designed withthis testbed exhibited some minor concerns in terms of reliable data acquisition due to occasionalBluetooth connectivity disruptions.

There is a large emphasis on math, physics, science, programming, and online modeling.This knowledge is very important to be successful in industry, but there is more that goes intoengineering design than those hard skills. Equally as important as teaching students these designskills are teaching how to create human-centered designs. This means creating values for theproject to keep the main goal focused on how the product can best help the lives of the targeteduser and turning these values into concrete design requirements.

However, in thesummer preceding their arrival they declare academic interests and are matched to advisors in thedisciplines they self-selected. Throughout their first year, students take a common first-yearseminar, a first-year writing course (of their selection), and STEM students take 1-3 introductorySTEM courses. Several years of data shows that a large proportion of the students who initiallyexpressed interest in STEM declare a non-STEM major in their second year. We

These contexts include theinfluence of inertia to continue using tests, course context that includes large enrollment, and thelimited autonomy for some instructors to make changes to assessment in the courses. Thesecontexts show some intertwining characteristics to influence test usage among the participants.In addition, our findings support existing literature on inertia and course context and prominentcontexts to influence course decision-making, and this paper focuses on the test usage as a formof course design decision.Keywords: Test, exam, instructor
