3 ADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION Humanitarian Aid and Relief Distribution (HARD) Game This paper presents the HARD game as a cooperative online educational game that mimics hu-manitarian supply chains typically found in relief operations. The game is influenced by the structureand dynamics of previous supply chain simulation games. One of the earliest SCM games is the BeerGame, originally developed by Jay Forrester at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Forrester,J. W. 1957), which has been long used by educators to show students the effects of order variationson commercial supply chains (Sterman, J. D. 1984; Riemer 2008; Lau 2015

With the exception of a single outlier in theactive learning classroom tested using common question Q1, the active classroom data (bluebars) spans a narrower range of overall scores than the lecture-based class data (red bars), with amore pronounced right skew.One goal of the active learning model developed for MASC 310 was to use group work andhands-on activities to bring students from a range of grade levels and backgrounds to a commonunderstanding.

In fact, Salomon (1993) andSchrage (1990) explicate that interactive or cooperative communities provide a richerenvironment in which to share and develop ideas and engage in learning, than do more didacticinstructional environments. When members of a classroom possess and practice all three ofHymes constructs, cooperative learning communities can exist and thrive.The task of becoming an asynchronous studentProblems.

may argue that the use of technology can help students responding calculus questions without hurdle however results of this research also indicated the importance of sub-conceptual calculus knowledge to be able to demonstrate advanced analytical thinking. Helping STEM majors to improve their mental ability through reminders may be way to advance calculus sub-conceptual knowledge. More research findings that align with this research are needed to support and help educators better understand STEM majors’ conceptual integral knowledge. The methodology introduced in this work can be applied to other calculus questions other than the integral concept. References1. Tokgöz, E. “Evaluation of Engineering & Mathematics Majors
