A point onthe scatter plot is determined by grade average (y-axis coordinate) and the ALEKS score (x-axiscoordinate). The trend line shows the tendency of the ALEKS score with a certain gradeoutcome.When comparing the individual class grades with the ALEKS score received, the graph showed agradual upward trend from lower scores to higher scores in relation to class grades. This is truefor each of the three classes. The three class grades where then averaged together and comparedto the ALEKS score. This trend line showed the students having the lower

This expands the task of educators from imparting contentknowledge to guiding students in experiences that produce new ideas (West, 2016). Science education can improve if educators are focused on teaching for transformative,aesthetic experiences (Pugh & Girod, 2006). Within science education, the STEM communitycan benefit from creative collaborations with art and design by allowing engineering students tobecome more imaginative, innovative, and creative (Wynn &

Furthermore, students musthave a 2.5 cumulative GPA in their math, science and introductory engineering courses in orderto be admitted to the program. The application includes pre-engineering prerequisites, which forthe purpose of this study, serve as individual predictors to examine if specific courses contributeto the performance in certain upper division courses. Students are required to fulfill the pre-engineering prerequisites prior to transferring into the program. However, by the time thestudents graduate, they must complete all of the lower division

will alleviate some major issues that have already been identified asfollows: some of current trainers use power systems of 120 volts alternating current which can bevery dangerous [1]. Parallax error and soft limitation can be seen as obtained by measurement.Perhaps, the most crippling disadvantage of the current equipment is the low number of usablePLCs.By using the new trainers, visualization of topics is possible which helps students to betterunderstand the topics. The trainers also give digital input and output and analog input and output.It is controlled manually by using motors and automatically by using sensors.Problem StatementThe main problems associated with PLCs can be broken down into the following list: • Getting new hardware

Developing a mobile robotic platform that can be controlled both manually andautonomously is also a significant challenge. We dealt with the first issue of sensors for therobot to include only the bare basics, of temperature and relative humidity. We also added a gasboard that was used to detect CO levels in the building. We decided to use the Open SourceRobotic Operating System (ROS) to develop our mobile robot.

Thebuzz around flipped classrooms has likely been fueled by the attention it has received in popularmedia, such as the U.S. News and World Report article in 2014 extolling the virtues of theflipped classroom model to strengthen STEM students’ learning 2. A recent survey by CampusTechnology found that 55 percent of the faculty they surveyed (~500) were flipping either someor all of their classes 3. The popularity of the flipped classroom has led to the establishment ofthe Flipped Learning Network (flippedlearning.org), and the recently published Best PracticesFor Flipping The College Classroom 4.

One of the overarching goals of an undergraduate engineering education is to give students theability to critically analyze and select tools to solve complex problems. We strive to develop students asself-regulated learners who are “metacognitively, motivationally, and behaviorally active participants intheir own learning processes” [1]. This awareness includes students’ ability to identify resources tosupport their learning and solve complex problems. Some engineering programs teach students studystrategies, which may include the use of resources; however, often times these lessons are general andstudents may struggle to translate these lessons into their courses. While there has been some work thatinvestigates students’ ability to use

Blind faith in the solution manual rather their own abilities to solve problemsnegatively impacts a student’s conceptual understanding of the principles of Dynamics andtherefore impedes their critical thinking ability. This is a nationwide phenomenon [1], [2], [3]and some important reasons has been traced to – (a) students who are employed outside schoolfind less time in their studies, (b) lack of mathematical and analytical skills discourages studentsfrom trying on their own, and (c) instant gratification of

When not in use, classrooms can host student organization events,project team meetings, and students simply doing homework.The increase in student centered pedagogies has encouraged universities to renovate traditionallecture style classrooms to studio or flexible classrooms [1]. Increases in the number of flexibleand studio classrooms raise the question of how universities can design these spaces to alsosupport student informal learning beyond their intended use as classrooms.Studies have been conducted on the benefits of informal learning settings, but there are fewstudies on how the physical space itself can support the
