In addition, students areintroduced to humanitarian causes that encourage them to consider how their major cancontribute to social good.Lesson 1: Agile Process ActivityTraditional design processes in engineering and computing follow a sequence of steps. The endgoal of a design process could be a product or it could be a process. The steps to develop theproduct or process using a traditional approach usually start with comprehensive planning to becompleted before proceeding to creation. In contrast, agile design and development utilizesrepeated iterations of a shorter plan-create-test-revise process

Guided by weekly lesson plans, students constructed and tested the 20” C-Rboxes using the "Physics Toolbox Sensor Suite" app to record g-Force data to discern vibrationvariations across different fan speeds and measured noise levels at various distances from the fanusing sound meter. Finally, students graphed the results to illustrate sound intensity overdistance. They engaged with real-world experimental data, using Excel to graph aerosolconcentrations with and without the C-R boxes to understand their efficacy in reducingparticulate matter in the air. We donated the C-R boxes from the first two years to local schoolsand community settings. During the third year of the project (Spring 2024), students

Cognitive learning refers to acquiring knowledge at increasinglevels of complexity, as in Bloom’s Taxonomy [3], and is measured through course assessments(e.g., exams). Metacognition refers to awareness and self-assessment of one’s own thinking andabilities [3], and regulation refers to the ability to plan and adjust behaviors accordingly based onthat knowledge [4

Its central premise isthat once the educational purposes (i.e., the learning outcomes) of a learning experience areconscientiously selected, the rest of the elements of the experience (i.e., the pedagogical activities, andcorresponding assessments) should be designed toward the achievement of those identified outcomes [5].Therefore, the three main stages of backward design are: (1) identifying desired results, (2) determiningacceptable evidence, and (3) planning learning experiences and instruction
