, weintegrate real data with a context and a purpose in order to give learners experience with genuinedata and illustrate the usefulness of data science skills in the real world 16 .3.1 Survey Data CollectionTo evaluate the impact of real-world data integration, we administered a survey to the studentsthat enrolled in Computer Sciences classes and/or workshops developed at Florida InternationalUniversity. The survey was designed to measure student engagement, confidence, and motivationin data-rich learning environments. We mapped our course learning outcomes to specific surveyitems, asking students to self-assess their skills and attitudes at the beginning and end of thecourse (adapted from 17 ’s approach). The full survey instrument is provided in

(Note that theRevolution Wind project is being planned for installation in cell C6 [15], while the location ofthe existing Block Island Wind Farm is the middle of Cell D3.)Table 3: Final site proposals and voting results. Three groups came together to propose the same final site. The stakeholders then agreed, by vote, to locate the proposed wind farm in cell C6.
