Again, this increase is consistent with the premise that thevirtual laboratories promote high level cognition. Similarly, the statements that were coded asExperimental Design averages 62% for the virtual laboratory. This value is significantly higherthan the first physical laboratory which averages 7%. This result is consistent with theinstructional design of the virtual laboratories, which, in part, is to engage students in an iterativeexperimental design approach that is reflective of the approach used by practicing engineers.2Indeed, a significant portion of instruction was devoted to explaining

Rather theypreferred quests that provided them with information and asked them to complete a task basedupon this new material.The results from quest design also aligned with some comments from students’ expectations.For instance, the correlation between point value and difficulty of assignment was a concern asstudents didn’t expect to have to do more work for a difficult task. Another concern raisedrelated to expectations was the name of the platform. It can be a bit of a misnomer that thegamification platform is called 3D GameLab which implies for students that the activities theywill be doing are all game-based.

The first course (exploration) is based mostly on lecturesand students have to conduct only small cases studies. At the end of the course there is a finalexam. In the second course (specialization), there is a mix between theory and practice.Students attend lectures on a weekly basis but they also have to conduct one or two smallprojects with a group

The different experiences of first-generationcompared to continuing-generation college students were further captured by interview questionsthat asked students to think back to experiences/activities they engaged in as children oradolescence and determine if they now see them as engineering related experiences. By askingstudents to reflect on the pre-college activities that fostered their interest in engineering, we wereable to understand the cultural and historical practices that brought them to seek an engineeringdegree.

Students at the HSI may attend college with the expectation that they are receiving adegree to pursue a very specific career (e.g., “I’m getting an engineering degree to be anengineer”) while students at the PWI may attend college with the perspective that it will openmany different opportunities for them in the future (e.g., “I’m getting an engineering degreebecause it will allow me to do many different things with my career”).

However,it is important to take into account the diversity of student learning styles in a classroom, andpromote facilitation methods to engage, inspire, and accommodate the strengths of both activeand reflective learners (Felder and Silverman, 1988).

The reform is motivated by research that relates thedevelopment of higher-level capabilities such as systems thinking, communication skills, ethicalstandards, and critical thinking to students’ success in the workforce [5]. It also addresses callsfor greater emphasis on complex, open-ended design problems reflecting work done byprofessional engineers [6].Such tasks contrast with more typical school worksheets that require an algorithmic applicationof course concepts, with an emphasis on reaching a single correct solution through an instructor-determined solution path

Solving complex system problems within engineering requiresthe ability to interpret the meaning of a function that is modeling a dynamic situation. Thisability is essential for engineers. Thus, knowing how students think and learn about rate andaccumulation processes in complex systems can help educators better prepare students for theirengineering careers.Engineering students often have various robust misconceptions that can persist throughout theireducation and may hinder their
