There are a few changes that the authors would153 recommend for future studies. The authors believe postponing the survey towards the end of the154 term would provide a more accurate assessment by the student. The extra time would allow them155 to work more on the project, and provide a larger sample size on the effect of the modules on156

engineering principles apply toeveryday situations, they’re more likely to stay engaged and interested in the subject matter.Furthermore, since not all students learn in the same way, using data-infused examples providesalternative entry points for understanding as opposed to teaching using the more traditional definition-theorem-corollary-example mathematics classroom lecture.Measuring Success.As of this time, we have only collected anecdotal feedback from our students on the use of data-infusedexamples in teaching mathematical modelling via differential equations. In order to insure fullengagement in the data-fitting activity, we included a couple of questions on the use MATLAB’s CurveFitter in assessments that do not have time constraints, that is

students’ outcomes, researchers areincreasingly deploying a method called Social Network Analysis (SNA). SNA examines therelationships and interactions between individuals or groups to provide an understanding ofsocial structures and behaviors. Research applying SNA helps researchers understandengineering student interactions and has shown that students who have more connections withother students or have stronger connections to other students, demonstrate higher performance onengineering assessments than peers with fewer or weaker connections [2].Important concepts in SNA include nodes, edges, and SNA measures. In SNA, networks are thecollection of individuals and connections a researcher wants to study. Nodes are individualentities in the study

A review of the Journal of Engineering Educationliterature shows that during the first five years of the journal’s history (1993-1998) only 6.5percent of the papers used laboratory as a keyword. This number reduced to an even lower 1percentage of 5.2 in the next five years (1998-2002) [3]. Laboratory curricula are often designedwith the goals of 1) relating theory to practice [4-8] and 2) increasing the motivation of studentsto pursue engineering education [9,10].

This result was disappointing, andit was clear that there was too much pressure in having a working circuit (thus satisfying theminimum to meet ILO3), thereby detracting from the other ILOs.The sub-system template approach used in 2023 resulted in 66.7% (30 of 45 groups) havingworking equalizers to specifications.

This finding suggeststhe initial inclusion of the exam wrapper may have provided a temporary moment for reflectionand assessment by the students who helped on Exam 2. However, unless additional time andattention are provided, the positive impact does not persist.
