In these models, the effects of adaptivelearning methods and other factors on the student's final grade were captured. The model resultsoffer several important findings. First, the pass/fail model clearly highlights the role of themodules in increasing pass rate while controlling for all other student attributes. Also, theadaptive learning module had a

Studentsanalyzed engine coolant performance between three fluids given as unknown propylene glycol-to-water ratios, simply labeled A, B, and C. They were asked to perform viscosity, specific heatcapacity, thermal conductivity, and density for each to predict the propylene glycol-to-waterratios. The students performed experimentation during the first three labs by following theprovided protocol modified from the relevant ASTM procedure. Except for the density lab, eachteam of three students was provided access to eye droppers, a precision pipette, graduatedcylinders, and a precision scale.

Based on students’ feedback, this is mostly because a) the undergraduatestudents have limited research experience and b) some of the undergraduate students need tospend lots of time and effort getting familiar with programming.

programs ofdeveloping curiosity and an entrepreneurial mindset are similar to the objectives of the authors ofthis paper. However, the approach presented here is to explicitly develop curiosity before moreopen-ended real-world projects, in a “walk before you run” paradigm. Furthermore, the approachpresented in this paper, in which all students work on the same lab and design assignments, isefficient to teach to a large number of students.MethodsCourse and Project StructureThe Mechanical Engineering senior design course, MAE 156A&B, at University of California atSan Diego (UCSD) is taught in a 2-quarter sequence.
