]. Angelo and Cross’ 1993book discusses classroom assessment techniques [6]. Nilson’s 2012 book focuses on research-based resources for college instructors [7]. Walvoord published a practical guide to assessment in2010 [8]. The pre-post methodology is similar to that of one of the co-authors at the Air ForceInstitute of Technology [9] which presents a three-year study of a two-course graduate sequenceand employed a pre-test/post-test methodology with teaching techniques of Felder and Brent [10]to assess student learning using learner-center teaching techniques, one of which was Real-worldmini-sessions in industry, defense, and security. A statistically significant improvement wasobserved in student performance for some courses when the Pre

research and using the machine shop. ● Half of EPADS was valuable. ● We do a lot of projects and making things, but I don't think we do enough of actually designing things that we then have to make. ● If you work hard and get good grades in your classes it's not hard to do well in capstone. 88% of the seniors also agreed on the benefit of having projects in the EngineeringPhysics course as shown in the Figure 5.Figure 5. Survey results for the statement 2: “Do you agree that having projects in EngineeringPhysics: Mechanics course related to Capstone Projects would be beneficial to students?” Some students further commented on the 2nd statement: ● Practice on determining forces and inertia in actual devices. ● Maybe

from aserious epistemological weakness: The standard model of undergraduate research is the apprenticeship model in which students are transported across this divide with little cognitive or practical preparation. Sinking or swimming, the student is then presented with a problem or project, shown the basics of how to solve the problem, and allowed to give it his/her best shot. This effort frequently takes place under the guidance of graduate students and/or research associates who themselves have little cognitive or practical preparation for this role. This research experience most often takes place late in the student's course of study and is usually pedagogically and epistemologically

), who were responsible for responding to students’writing and facilitating weekly writing labs. Mentoring was provided by two graduate studentsfrom the WAE program—one from Physics who was also served as a returning course TA andone from Writing Studies—and by a technical research writer in the Physics department who is aformer English professor and writing program administrator with expertise in professional andtechnical writing pedagogy.II.2 Best Practices Promoted by Writing StudiesAs detailed in Yoritomo et al. [11], working with several decades of Writing Studies literaturethat defines writing as a sociocultural process, we have honed in on three fundamental principlesfor our needs-based intervention: “i) writing is a complex and social

early universe cosmology with Dr. Robert Brandenberger, applying convolutional neural networks to the detection of cosmic strings. Upon graduat- ing, he participated in a two-month internship at Safecast in Tokyo, working on expanding the non-profit’s educational outreach materials on radiation science and facilitating workshops for youth. He has since then gone on to obtain a master’s degree in physics at Concordia University in Montreal in 2020, where he researched physics lab pedagogy and conceptual learning in the context of labatorials under the supervision of Dr. Calvin Kalman. He also went on a two-month research trip at the Univer- sity of Washington in Seattle in 2019, where he examined the Physics Education
