because correct responses may vary based oninstructor background and CAD tool used. A separate assessment with more items could bedeveloped to measure student learning solely on CAD, but expert feedback has indicated thatCAD in itself is a tool and not a concept and as such should not be included in the ConceptInventory at this time. Many of the skills necessary to create effective CAD models, regardlessof the software or preferred technique, are already assessed in the CI as it currently exists,including parallel projection theory, planar geometry, and drawing conventions, and the resultsof these questions can help inform an instructor on their students’ knowledge of the informationneeded to build effective models.The authors gratefully

The purpose was to help thesefreshman students understand why EE 302 is a foundational course in the curriculum, and SIleaders participated in weekly professional development meetings to discuss best practices indirecting student learning of both the content and study skills. Leaders maintained detailed lessonplans and were asked to identify content and study skill objectives for each week’s lesson. FourSI sessions were offered weekly and efforts were made to ensure that the sessions did notconflict with lecture or lab timesIII

We have about 100interviews with students about their understanding of MoM.FindingsIt was found that students oversimplify the relationship between applied loads and resultinginternal stresses in two primary ways:(1)  They assume that stresses are greatest nearest to the applied load because the effect of the load is less far away from its point of application. This is an oversimplification because

their aircraft designs.ii. Hands-on experience: Fabrication and flight test evaluation of the UAS design was perhaps the most valuable lesson that the student team gained; at this scale, few finished products turn out in line with designs and projections. The team encountered this apparent discrepancy at various stages following the initial design, including component weight during fabrication, as well as the final weight of the finished aircraft, which was about 30% more than the design specification, affecting its dynamic performance. Lesson Learned: Analysis of aircraft designs need to account for potential variations in parameters during the fabrication/repair process to still be able to satisfy design and performance

The ongoing research investigates the concur- rent validity of an instrument (ARS-30) with an existing instrument (CD-RISC), an academic resilience instrument posed to measure resilience in an educational context. Besides his interests in game-based ac- tivities around the scholarship of teaching and learning, he is also interested in evidence-based practices through systematic reviews, meta-analysis and empirical research on engineering education issues. In addition, he is interested in measuring inventories development by examining the psychometric properties of instruments in engineering education.Dr
