These differencescan be attributed to some students receiving better grades than their trigger point for seeking helpand some students not seeking help when they projected they would.This year 47% of honors males and 48% of honors females indicated at the beginning of thesemester that they would seek out extra help with grades of B or C. We found that at the end ofthe semester these honors students sought extra help with grades of B or C, as they projected.The average threshold value was slightly lower, closer to a grade of C, for honors students thanfor non-honors students. 90% of

Anchored seating could be workable as long as adequate table space is availableand students can cluster quickly into teams. However, in large lecture halls with theater seatingand very small pull-up desks, students will have difficulty just physically gathering into teams,and that translates to wasted class time. Team assignments for these in-class activities can be accomplished in various ways. Thecritical issue here is to guard vigilantly against lost class time. If you have established teams forother, longer duration projects, you might consider using those established teams for the hands

Students in many engineering programs feel that their educational experience consists of a series of isolated courses that build expertise in discrete topical areas. The only time these discrete topics are integrated is in a capstone engineering project during their senior year. Understanding how topics covered in one

In Spring 2024, 30 students were enrolled in HT.In Spring 2009, the instructor began teaching a heat transfer course using a traditional,lecture-based pedagogy. During the following years, the instructor both heard from other facultyand witnessed how electrical engineering students were better prepared to handle the open-endproblems encountered during Senior Design projects.

One drawback of this approach is thatit limits the practice of reading and interpreting views in drawings which can be a secondarylearning outcome in a CAD class as is the case for the capstone example discussed earlier. As illustrated earlier, more complex assignments where students are expected to do more independentthinking on their modeling strategy, capture design intent, and use appropriate best practices are muchmore challenging to automate their assessment. It might even be true that because more complexassignments such as a capstone project are meant to

MSE curricula at upper-level undergraduateand graduate courses, introductory courses are still largely taught with traditional diagrams andformulae approaches, leaving computational thinking, exploration, and modeling for later. Thistraditional approach misses an opportunity to leverage computational modeling as a coreteaching and learning tool when students begin their study of MSE. According to the OpenSyllabus project [11], which has collected over 230,000 engineering syllabi, the most popularintroductory MSE textbook, authored by Callister and Rethwisch [12], is the second mostassigned textbook across all engineering disciplines.
