In order to address this question, we opened thequestion to present the answers to the community at large. While the topic of engineering grades remains an important one to our community,[2-9] itcould be easily argued that the subject of the effect of class size on grades is even moreuniversally debated – both outside [10-13] and within the sphere of higher education.[14, 15] Somestudies actually shirk the question of the effect of class size on grades altogether and opt to probeclass size’s effect on teacher evaluations![16] More general and historically-minded reviews of thesubject in higher education are beyond the

atthe University of Washington12,13).Due to their ability to measure procedural knowledge, researchers studying engineering designknowledge rely heavily on ethnography and VPA. Design educators, however, would not gainenough value from performing such studies on students in their classes to warrant the intenseamount of time required; educators need more efficient means to assess learning. Hence, thepurpose of this study is to evaluate two streamlined approaches – each taking no more than 10minutes of class time (for the whole class) and 1 minute of coding per response – with respect totheir effectiveness in measuring procedural knowledge. While each approach aims to assessprocedural knowledge, they both do so by asking students to declare their

Analysis and Optimization: An Exploratory Study (Evidence-based Practice)Background and MotivationThere is a long-standing interest and focus in educational research on electricity-related concepts, due totwo essential reasons: (a) electricity is one of the central areas of science, technology, and engineeringcurricula at all levels of education, and (b) its concepts are particularly difficult to teach and learn becausethey are abstract and complex 1. Therefore, both educators and students face several challengesthroughout the learning process 2. Students often develop their own conceptions of electricity, which maybe in conflict with the formal science perspectives 3. When these students’ interpretations of
