questions allow students to think through some in-class illustrativeproblem before lecture. Students attempt to interpret the probabilities and identify the goal. Thisway they will come to the class more prepared and better understand why the instructor chooses acertain approach in solving the problems. The review questions are also included to help studentsassess their previous learning in a timely manner. In addition, the instructor is able to review thequestion statistics before the lecture, hence to understand the common mistakes andmisunderstandings, and adjust the lecture coverage and deliverance accordingly. The preview-deliver-review cycle behind the quiz design is illustrated in Figure 4(a) with anexample given in Figures 4 (b-d). The

preparestudents to (a) work with others, (b) find collaborative solutions, (c) discuss open-endedproblems, or (d) have patience with exploring fuzzy concepts [3]. Thus many first-year courseshave been restructured to focus less on the “nuts-and-bolts” of engineering and more ondeveloping skills for academic success, instilling a sense of community, and generatingenthusiasm for engineering [4]. Under the assumption that “contact is more important thancontent,” the highest-level goals are to create a supportive academic environment, to motivatestudents, and to provide them with information on how to be successful in their major. Emphasisis placed on increasing students’ willingness to study in groups, minimizing the stigma of askingothers for help, and

The p-value for the Regression Analysis ofstudents’ STEM SC and Objective Performance is p=0.001, so there is sufficient evidence at theα=0.05 level to conclude that STEM SC can predict student performance. The left end of the x-axis indicates students who identified more closely with STEM and the right are those whoidentified more with non-STEM subjects. Students who associated themselves more closely withSTEM subjects had quantitatively better performing designs. Figure 5.

The PBL exercises are conducted as ungradedexercises. For simpler problems, for example, selecting the sampling frequency for digitization ofEMG signals, a small group-discussion was held, and the instructor invited several groups toshare their solutions with the class. For more complex problems such as the paper design of theEMG controller, a group worksheet (see Appendix B) was provided for designing subsystems ofthe circuit. After the

alternative design ideas as shown in Figure 4a andb. According to the team, they saw “merit in both designs and decided to move forward with CADdesigns for both. However, problems risen when attempting to model Design 1 led them to selectDesign 2, which had significantly fewer problems in creating a functional SolidWorks model. Themain criteria shaping their decision process were: ease of design given the time constraints andneed for parts outside of what was designed.

The value of each topic waseither 1 or 0, indicating whether each publication contains a certain topic or not. Linearregression was employed to predict CiteScore using topics as predictors. The threshold of theoccurrence of each topic was set to 0.1% of the total number of publications, resulting in 538unique topics. The selection of threshold values has trade-offs.

The lowest average in theimpact dimension was for Q3 for the students experiencing the math lessons.

self-efficacy is understood to be driving self-perceptions and eventually performance in those tasks. For instance, self-concept in calculus (i.e., a domain) can be expressed as “I am able to understand and follow along the calculus classes”, and self-efficacy in calculus (i.e., task performance) can be expressed by “I am confident I can score at least a B in the upcoming test”.The above definitions for both constructs are adapted from previous research and validating orverifying them is not within the scope of this project. This study agrees with previous findings[7], [44], [45], [46], that state self-concept is a prime predictor for favorable academic outcomesand well-being as a student. Self-efficacy, although crucial for an individual’s
