Knowledge-of-response (KOR), which indicates that the learner’s response is correct or incorrect. 2. Knowledge-of-correct-response (KCR), which identifies the correct response. 3. Elaborative feedback, a complex form of feedback that explains, monitors, and directs, such as answer-until-correct (AUC).A meta-analysis done by Azevedo and Bernard suggests that the achievement outcomesgenerally are greater for students receiving CBI that utilizes feedback than for comparisongroups with

Evidence within the Department ofLabor reflects that fifteen of the twenty fastest growing jobs projected for 2014 requiresignificant preparation in mathematics and science with the numbers of STEM professionsexpected to grow at a faster rate than those non-STEM professions[1]. Although careers in STEMprovide paths out of poverty, make significant

Such an observation was coherent with the findings by other educators11.It became critical to broaden their views of sustainability and sustainable engineering designfirst.Pawley et al. proposed to use six factors to evaluate an engineering project at the early stage12.These six factors were systems, time, energy, modeling, people and scale. They could be usedseparately, or in pairs to assess the sustainability related opportunities/concerns in a project. So, a6x6 table could be formed (see Table 1 attached as Appendix B) and an engineering design ideashould be questioned with respect to the factors labeled in the corresponding row and column12.It would be ideal to fill in all cells (except the shaded ones) with some questions

A model rocket is a veryconvenient metaphor to illustrate many important engineering concepts and principles in a fun andexciting way.

learning engineering is important to studyand understand for various reasons, including: (1) use of technology tools by students is widespread,and (2) use of technology tools in primary, secondary, and college classrooms is increasing rapidly asnew devices that balance cost, functionality and portability shift the use of computing devices frompersonal purposes to mainstream course applications, such as with 3D printing, for academicpurposes. We will present the results of studying the impact of using one such device, a 3D printer,on students’ academic performance via a subset of course objectives for an introductory engineeringcourse.

Other commonconcerns expressed by participants on the pre-program surveys included: overcoming feelings of“inadequacy” or the imposter syndrome;1 how to speak up when silenced, interrupted, orignored; and how to negotiate for what participants need to be successful.The qualitative responses, both on the pre-program survey and from observations of discussionin the first session, suggest a deeper motivation for participating: many participants feel isolatedin their work.

gains [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. Yet, outside of time-consuming observation protocols [8, 9],little systematic work has been done in characterizing classroom activities, due in part to a lackof proper instrumentation [10]. Additionally, students can engage in activities in very differentways than instructors intend [1, 2], so it is important to account for the student perspective. Thispaper reports current progress towards an effort to develop and rigorously assess a student surveyinstrument aimed at this purpose in post-secondary STEM classrooms: the Student Class Activityand Engagement Instrument (SCAEI).The SCAEI is based on Chi’s Interactive, Constructive, Active, and Passive (ICAP) framework[1, 2] .

It is important that the model not just reproduce therequired geometrical shape and size but that it be changeable in the future in a manner thathonors the design intent2. Because
