Future work will involve exploring whether students’ problem solving performance willbe improved by enhancing their spatial thinking abilities or understanding of key concepts inmechanics. In addition, we are planning on extending this research to other areas of application,such as engineering design or other disciplines and recruiting participants at various levels ofacademia (i.e. graduate students, instructors, and faculty members) to examine the impact ofexperience/expertise. Although eye-trackers are becoming more accessible and affordable, theyare not widely used and it requires trained personnel to manage every stage of the study. Inaddition

.” Another studentrecommended using a medium other than sticky notes for information exchange and stated,“perhaps find a better method than sticky notes, throw balls with numbers?” We plan to re-visitthe design of our game and our choice of materials in light of these suggestions, though movingaway from sticky nodes—a medium that is useful for quickly generating representations ofcustom messages—would reduce the game’s expressiveness. The second trend is that studentswere disappointed at some of the overhead involved in the initial setup of each style-specificgame; one suggested that participants be “given specific instructions ahead of time” and anotherthat we should “decide participants before starting the activity; this would decrease down time

students attempted more credit hours than non-engineering students in general, the former were more sensitive to scholarship credit-hourrequirements. In Georgia, engineering students became more likely to attempt fewer credits inthe first year, while total students were unaffected by the scholarship.While the number of credit hours represents a convenient continuous variable to measure thecurricular progression of students, it is relevant to discuss student progression with respect to the“full load” threshold, since this threshold determines what fraction of students can graduate ontime or early and which are falling behind the stated curriculum plan. Scholarship effects onfirst-year full load attempted by residents similarly varied based on

often,"Elevator in El Cortez Hotel in San DieIt was the janitor's idea. The famous El Cortez Hotel in San Diego provides an excellent exampleof the advantage of listening intently to employees at every level. The hotel management decidedto install an additional elevator to better serve their guests. Engineers drew up plans cuttingholes through each floor of the hotel. A janitor, who was concerned with this, made the commentthat this would make a great deal of mess. The janitor was told not to worry because the hotelwould be closed to guests during the construction. The janitor suggested, "You could build theelevator on the outside of the hotel." At the time, this architectural concept had never been donebefore, but after investigation by the
