This formula of lecture / Kahoot quiz / activity or discussion is repeated throughout the class period, typically three to four times. 10. The Kahoot responses are not graded, but reports are available per question so the professor can go back and look at analytics per student and question. 11. At the end of class, a leaderboard of the top three finishers is shown.In the engineering course, students completed reading and homework assignments before thelecture.

This provides anopportunity for students to implement theory taught in other classes to build interfaces to manufacturing systems.Good system integration is a facilitator, it brings relevant information to the attention of management and assistsin maintaining the efficiency of the system.

In the survey, students choseadjectives from the MPRC list that they felt best described their individual experiences in anengineering department. Students then participated in a semi-structured interview to furtherdiscuss why those adjectives were chosen and to provide context and experiences related to it.Findings indicate a trend of positive adjectives selected to describe students’ experiences withtheir stories to show why they feel that way.
