. In DFM, a more functionally constrained project could accomplish the same thing.• Building the Connection between Function and GD&T This follows from the previous point and reflects the challenge noted earlier that students experience the greatest difficulty when they are required to come up with the correct controls, and more so specific values of tolerance that will result in a desired function. In industry, this experiential knowledge has been acquired over time and is captured in standards and procedures for dimensioning and tolerancing the specific products that are designed and manufactured. Though it is difficult to reproduce this in an academic setting, tooling design again represents a good application

Howeverhands-on activities should be done in a way to provide sufficient opportunities for reflection,metacognition and a deeper understanding of the principle or physical phenomena underlying theexperimental activity. Poorly designed experiments would negate the benefits of hands-onlearning.

For example,in the extension of the week 2 module in which students programed agents to draw their names,students were asked to create a design to reflect something about themselves. Students drewspirals, sine waves and other geometric shapes; some students wrote their names in cursive (onewith step-by-step agent instructions, another creating curves from mathematical functions); manydrew intricate emblems or logos illustrating aspects

Another concern raisedrelated to expectations was the name of the platform. It can be a bit of a misnomer that thegamification platform is called 3D GameLab which implies for students that the activities theywill be doing are all game-based.

. This is not entirely borne out by otherassessment results. As mentioned above, project completion rates are very high. However, thequality of the final programs varies considerably, though it is difficult to judge consistently. Webelieve that this variation in quality reflects variation in student understanding of programmingand problem solving and would indicate that students may be overly optimistic about theirabilities. Quiz results provide another possible point of comparison. We have collected quizresults for questions related to problem solving but have not yet completed a numerical analysisthat would provide a comparison with student self-assessment.

Thus the demonstrations combined with surveysencouraged them to reflect on the concepts they were learning. Our survey questions weredeveloped to improve conceptual thinking and qualitative judgment aspects of the topics versuscalculation of values.Instructors need to understand that students have different learning styles to facilitate theirlearning [17].

The second activity, team development, required approximately five minutesand consisted of two questions for team discussion. The first question was an icebreaker,designed to be easy to answer and help the teams engage in conversation. The second questionwas designed to focus on team function and cause reflection on attributes of a team. A sample ofquestions used for each question type is provided in Table 1.

This very strong correlation suggests that exercises may berecognized as being practical and realistic if the tutorials’ applicability to them extends beyondthe classroom. If this were the case, then it will be important to ensure that exercises foradditional tutorials reflect real scenarios in radio engineering.

However,it is important to take into account the diversity of student learning styles in a classroom, andpromote facilitation methods to engage, inspire, and accommodate the strengths of both activeand reflective learners (Felder and Silverman, 1988).

For example, in cases where we might assign a student to a projectinvolving multidisciplinary participation, some students may find it difficult to appreciate theirparticular role on a project. We find that project preferences may be a factor during the initialweeks of the semester when students are becoming acquainted with a project, however, a studyof end-of-semester reflective memos indicates that as a project progresses, other factors, beyondinitial project preferences provide much of the motivation needed for team effectiveness andsuccess [15].
