Inour class and many others, we believe those seats are typically situated in the front and middle columns of the room.To develop our OML list, we first rank ordered the students belonging to the test group strictly by their GPAs. Wechose GPA because it has been identified as the best indicator for future course performance in previous research[12]. Once the initial ranking was completed, teachers were instructed to consider each student’s SAT-Math scoreand programming experience.

Following assembly, the students were asked to use the NXT brick, the „brain‟ of the robot, tocreate a simple program. The NXT brick‟s have object-oriented programming capability thatallows five commands to be programmed and executed.

These criteria emerged from process safety literature and ChemicalSafety Board (CSB) case studies [5]–[8] as well as non-engineering industries that rely onpractitioner judgement [2], [3], [10], [32].

. Her first was her MIT doctoral thesis project, unlocking the gastronomical genome of a Vibrio bacterium. For some of the Vibrio’s meals, she collected seaweed from the rocky, Atlantic coastline at low tide. (Occasionally, its waves swept her off her feet.) During grad school, Alison was also a fellow in MIT’s Biological Engineering Communication Lab. Helping students share their science with their instructors and peers, she began to crave the ability to tell the stories of other scientists, and the marvels they discover, to a broader audience. So after graduating in 2015 with a microbiology doctorate, she trekked to the Pacific coast to study science communication at the University of California, Santa Cruz. There
