Science -‐ Students will investigate the relationship between force, mass, and motion of objects. a. Determine the relationship between velocity and acceleration. b. Demonstrate the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on an object in terms of gravity, inertia, and friction. 2. Math a. Graph proportional relationships, interpreting
of publications. While care must be taken in drawing inferences about the role ofreflection in engineering education based on the number of research publications, the limitednumber does suggest opportunities for more investigation of the issue. In the next section, wediscuss how the framework presented earlier can be useful in thinking about such investigation.Researching and supporting reflectionIn engineering education, there is opportunity to explore questions such as (a) what opportunitiesfor reflection might students already have, (b) what could be done to help students have moreopportunities for reflection, and (c) what could be done to support students in engaging inreflection? In this section, we address such questions via a
