Process of In-class Activities for Freshmen Can Dramatically Improve LearningAbstractThis paper discusses the impact of using informed instructional design and subsequent deliveryprocesses of classroom activities on learning outcomes in first-year engineering classes. Thepaper shows how minor additions or changes done by the instructor can lead to noticeably betterlearning outcomes, and higher student satisfaction and perception. In this study, learningoutcomes are evaluated by the instructor, while students’ satisfaction and perception is measuredusing direct surveys. Four previously tested and two suggested example hands-on activities arediscussed in the paper. In addition to the activities, the paper also

To begin to answer these questions, we interviewed fiveengineering graduate students engaged in research in a Gen-4 ERC. We found that on thesurface, students communicated a good understanding of the overall values and goal of the ERC,aligned with them, and felt as though they were making a difference in the world. However, forsome, there were experiences of tension and friction with their own personal and long-term goalsand values.
