They share lecture time, and the technical communicationlecturer(s) also act as the smaller twenty person discussion section lead(s). The labs are led by aprofessional lab manager and four instructional assistants (IAs) who are selected by the facultyfrom upper-class students who excelled in the class when they took it during their first year.

For this study,the specific platform used, Energy3D, recorded each student design action (e.g. Add Window,Edit Wall, or Annual Energy Analysis, Add Note) into a JSON format data-log. Researchers areable to use Energy3D to see all student design actions, their final design artifacts and relatedperformance of their artifacts on key design criteria. Three primary categories of action were thefocus of data analysis: Reflecting, Modeling, and Analysis. Table 1 summarizes our schema formapping action(s) to these categories.

The heat map of the velocity across the in-line chevronfeed spacer in Figure 1 (left image) enables identification of locations of low velocity within thecell. Figure 1 portrays areas of velocity less than 4 in/s via the dark blue color (the inlet velocity),which is within the range of typical inlet velocities for spiral wound element configurations. Thespacer geometry also increases the velocity toward the top of the inlet as the pressure increases inthat region due to the chevron obstructing the fluid path.

These have often proved cumbersome. Austin and Austin [5]’s LMS lackedanonymous response capability; instructors could see who had answered a question.
