[5] reviewed the effects of computer-based simulation forlearning in K-12 in STEM education and observed that, overall, simulations have a beneficialeffect over cases in which there were no simulations.Employing simulations or graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in a System Dynamics or Vibrationscourse is not a new approach. A search of the ASEE PEER Document Repository using the key 2 words “vibration simulation” and “vibration GUI” returned 838 and 90 results, although onlyfew of the papers were relevant to this work.

exhibit, we have observed frequent enactment ofthis competency. For example, while playing on the structure, the family plans for the fastest routeto deliver medicine to the animals. The child creates a set of instructions by saying, “I can do red,blue and green, from the left” referencing taking the first left route from the entrance and going tothe rabbit (which has the red color), then to the dog (which has the blue color) and finally to thecat (which has the green color). Another example comes from a computer-based coding game where the parents read theinstructions for their child and explain to the child the order the robot should deliver medicine toanimals. The child enters necessary moves (codes) for the robot to get to the rabbit

by recognizing the maincharacteristics of the animals in the real world and associate them with 2D models.Lesson 4A In this lesson, L4A, learners were exposed to a sequencing activity through a story book,Joey and Jet. The story features a dog that goes through various steps to catch a ball.Accordingly, learners needed to make a set of steps that the dog followed in the story. One of theobjectives of this lesson was to engage learners in computational thinking competencies (i.e.,Algorithm and Procedures) by making a correct set of orders on a flowchart provided in thelesson. This lesson also aligns with national standards (e.g., NGSS: K-2-ETS1-1; CCSS-ELA:SL.1.1, SL.K.6, RL.1.7, L.1.1.I; CSTA: 1A-A-5-3). Encouragement was the

[21]showed the effectiveness of animating algorithms for teaching. In the field of systemprogramming, there also exist work for animating different parts of an operating system, e.g. byJones and Newman [22], Suranauwarat [23], Kotainy and Spinczyk [24], and Zareie andNajaf-Zadeh [25]. They all provide animations for the different computer system components,visualizing the algorithmic behaviour, but lack on providing the dynamic relationships betweenthese components.Within this project, we therefore develop an extensive simulation framework

Computer visualization teaching techniques described for EMtheory in literature are actually limited to traditional 2D viewing settings (such as MATLABcodes demonstrating EM waves [7] and web-based applications that present concepts such asmagnetic fields [8]).Different than the existing approaches, our goal is to employ 3D visualization of EM fields tofacilitate student learning of complex mathematical concepts and several engineeringapplications of the EM physical phenomena. Specifically, students are presented with customdeveloped visualization scenes that are rendered in real-time and can be animated/modified on-demand with student/instructor input

Those are used to identify how the described approach fits into the larger body of workand the subsequent sections describe in detail what is novel about this approach. Case studies areelicited from both a required core undergraduate Electrical and Computer Engineering course(EEL3801: Computer Organization) and a core Mechanical Engineering course (EML4142: HeatTransfer I) in which the techniques of STEM-BDP were applied for multiple semesters.Conventional instructional delivery relying upon live lecture, homework assignments, andsynchronous in-class exams remains as the predominant delivery mode

This distinctive curriculum was developed and refined through a multi-stage process: (i)involving PD facilitator training; (ii) three dimensional NGSS curriculum development by teachersand facilitators; and (iii) teacher participants’ support of other teachers. The study participantsincluded six science and math teachers from New York City (NYC) middle schools who hadpreviously undergone LEGO robotics PD at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering but lackedformal NGSS-plus-5E lesson development experience. This was done purposefully to focus oncurriculum development for the new national standards. A qualitative case study [10] is used as amethodology for analysis. A sociocultural theoretical framework

standard definition for virtual reality, depending on theirbackground scientists, researchers, and computer users have had a different definition for virtualreality. Pimentel and Teixeira [1], defined virtual reality as an immersive, interactive experiencegenerated by a computer. The more recent definition of VR is described by Dionisio and Gilbertas “computer-generated simulations of three-dimensional objects or environments with seeminglyreal, direct, or physical user interaction” [2]. From the definitions, it can be derived that VR hasan experimental nature with the main elements of the virtual world, immersion, interactivity andmulti-sensory feedback. The first virtual reality system was introduced in the 1960s, and the first Head
