may be counterintuitive that an online tool would encourage contact between studentsand faculty. (See first row of Table 1). Nevertheless online methods providing a flippedclassroom environment, can improve provide the effectiveness of available face-to-facetime3. Thus contact between students and faculty can improve by employing a hybridtool. Also if the hybrid can help a student formulate questions or bound uncertainties,then it may foster better students / faculty exchanges.A forum type of venue could provide a useful means to engage students with open-endedtypes of questions. For example, students could be asked, “How might you address agiven situation (method A vs B) and why do you prefer this approach?” or asked, “Whatdid you learn of

A student selects cells one-by-one,then clicks the "Add circle" button. If the selected cells are adjacent and the number of cells is apower of 2 (i.e., 1, 2, 4, or 8 cells), then a circle is added around the selected cells. Otherwise, thestudent is immediately given an error message stating: "Invalid circle. Valid circles can contain1, 2, 4, or 8 cells." When a student is ready to submit, as in Figure 1(a), the student clicks Check.If the student's submission is incorrect, as in Figure 1(b), then the student is given anexplanation, including which circles

Students were enrolled mainly in corecurriculum classes such as Foundations of Engineering, Pre-calculus, History, and PoliticalScience. All of the students in these classes were first semester freshmen and the class distributionrepresents the university demographics5. This type of enrollment reduced outside factors thatinfluence student learning and allowed the 3D printer to be one of few variables.The materials used for this research consisted of the Makerbot Replicator Desktop Printer (fifthgeneration with a build volume of 25.2 L x 19.9 W x 15.0 H and capable of printing 456

The same test was given to all the classes. To avoid studentspassing-on exams from one year to the next, students were not allowed to keep their exams. Theexam used a grading scale of 0 to 100.

Themost obvious difference between these two pieces of code is the amount of typing required foreach. The code in Figure 2 (a) requires more typing and is very repetitive. In addition torequiring less typing for this portion of the project, the code in Figure 2 (b) organizes the codeinto layers and gives this section of the project a sense of hierarchy.
