that students were asked to design a Rube Goldberg machine thatconducts 90+ steps to complete a simple task. The insights they found through the use of theRube Goldberg machine will hopefully be a starting point for students to hone their design,communication, and teamwork skills such that they can design, communicate, and work onteams effectively in their Senior Capstone and beyond.References1.

Additionally, students were instructed to track theirtime throughout the day in thirty-minute increments, taking note of study sessions, class sessions,meal times, and sleep, for the week leading up to the exams in the form of a time trackinglearning journal (Appendix A). Following exams, students noted and described their mosteffective study session and evaluated their confidence levels.Upon receiving exam scores, students completed an exam wrapper survey (Appendix B), whichincluded learning outcomes from units covered on the exam and an evaluation of exampreparation behaviors for the

SummerBridge Program had the following three overall objectives: (a) “to help at risk students develop asolid foundation of problem solving skills that will facilitate their advancement in theengineering math curriculum,” (b) “to help students gain a deeper appreciation for the role thatmath and science plays in the engineering field,” and (c) “to integrate first year students into thesocio-academic environment of the College of Engineering and help smooth their transition tocollegiate life.” Achievement of the objectives was evaluated with pre and post survey datacollection and math performance measures.Achievement of ObjectivesOne objective of the Summer Bridge Program was “to help at risk students develop a solidfoundation of problem solving skills

In order to better understand thedifferences between classrooms, students from two different classrooms (named“Classroom 1” and “Classroom 2”) were submitted to the same following question duringan electrochemistry lesson:Consider the following overall reaction for a battery: 2 Ag+ + Sn → 2 Ag + Sn2+What is the reaction quotient (Q) for this redox process?a) [Sn2+].[Ag]2/[Ag+]2.[Sn] b) [Sn2+]/2[Ag+]c) [Sn2+]/[Ag+]2 d) [Ag+]2/[Sn2+]The correct answer to the question above is letter c): Q = [Ag+]2/[Sn2+].Although it seems to be a very easy question, is was possible to
