theme, e.g. autonomous robotics [20]. Projects may be structured such that smallmodules combine across the semester to form a larger design, e.g. assembling a portableelectronic device for measuring the height of an object [12]. Such projects can combine multiplelearning objectives and even multiple disciplines, e.g. using an electronic strain gauge to measurebeam deformation [6]. Assignments can mix historical engineering, forensics, andcurrent/emerging problems; each activity can be structured such that the students need to identifythe tool(s) that an engineer (who is not necessarily specialized) would need to solve the problem-at-hand [22]. Certain case studies can illustrate the full design process, e.g. the Wright brothersairplane [21

However, these results counter that of Leininger-Frézal andSprenger [19], who find the use of a VFT did help to enhance student understanding.Common between ours and Dada, et al. [15]’s results are a high percentage (>75%) ofagreement to the pre-survey statement, and thus it is more difficult to make a meaningfulimprovement on student understanding.Comparatively, the remaining 4 statements showed significant differences between pre- andpost-DST survey results (p < 0.05). Observations from Figure 3 in conjunction with this dataimplies the DST was ineffective in assisting students to develop problem solving skills,enabling teamwork, and improving their ability to

of an underlying factor(s), indicating that factor analysis is possible. Bartlett’s test ofsphericity measures the hypothesis that the item correlation matrix is an identity matrix, whichrepresents that factor analysis is not possible as the items are unrelated. A significant test result (p< 0.05) rejects the null hypothesis, indicating that the data are factorable [25].The number of factors were then determined using a scree plot examination, Kaiser test, andparallel analysis [24]. The scree plot is a line plot of eigenvalue factors that shows the point atwhich extracting more factors does not explain more variance. The Kaiser method retains factorswith eigenvalues greater than 1 [24]. Parallel analysis helps determine meaningful factors

This isconsistent with the results from Rodriguez & Esparrago [21]’s study which used the intrinsicmotivation inventory to determine that male and female students have significant differences inhow they are motivated by choice. Their study, which used a pretest/posttest design to study theimpacts of a multinational design project on motivation, found that female students did notexperience a reduction in their choice score after the design project. It is possible that the resultsof the current study describe consistency in the female student’s motivational scores alongside adecrease in overall academic motivation for males although this cannot be determined for

: Discuss. The instructor discusses the RL problem, how the engineer would use math and statistics to address the problem, and the impact of the RL problem on the society and community. If the instructor can also demonstrate the instruments used for data collection, then use of such instruments in the RL problem will be covered. (2) S: Solve. The students work on the problem, they device a plan to solve the problem, and implement their plan. This would follow Polya’s four-step method of solving mathematical problems, thus reinforcing that concept. (3) R: Reflect. Students reflect on the problem, and they use information related to the RL problem to check if the values calculated are reasonable
FutureProject’ was recently added to the curriculum for the College Institute ES 100 taught to12th graders at Thomas S. Wootton High School in Rockville, Maryland. This projectinvolves motivating students to develop an academic map/career plan for themselves byobserving and interviewing successful engineers in different fields, creating overviewprofiles for each of them, and studying these profiles to determine how they connect withtheir career intentions.A detailed explanation of the Engineering your Future Project and how it fits into the ES100 curriculum is given in this paper. Results from qualitative and quantitative evaluationof the project will be presented. In addition, since the project was also added to one of theES 100 sections taught to
