single coursemodule. The puzzle(s) within each room were specifically designed to align with the studentlearning outcomes of each module and to test a broad range of concepts within each imagingmodality. After reviewing the game rules and starting the countdown timer, the students chose aroom from a drop-down menu. An image of the “room” was then displayed within the MATLABGUI. As is customary in escape rooms, students had to identify both the question being askedand the answer to that question in order to determine the “secret code” (consisting of three lettersor numbers) required to escape the room. When the students solved the final room puzzle, theprogram immediately stopped and computed the time it took each team to escape. Two hints anda

involved pilot testing and refining concise, generalized measures of the variables ofinterest. The leadership role confidence and risk orientation measures presented in this sectionwere designed based on the literature, tested in advance with a smaller sample of 99 respondents,and then refined based on pilot test respondent feedback about clarity. We believe this approachaligns with this paper’s scope of testing unifying hypotheses that support and generalize uponprior findings.In conceptualizing a leadership confidence variable, we utilize a “role confidence” approachsimilar to Cech et al.’s measurement of confidence toward achieving professional outcomes [40].We designed our measure as a means of differentiating among students who felt they were

Certainly, there is literature backing both sides ofthe coin; for and against, online systems and traditional homework methods [3], [4], [7]–[9],[11]. Students however, are clearly asking for both, and indicate that both will probably behelpful. Similar hybrid approaches have proven to be successful in other disciplines [14].

However, considering that “engineering educationresearch (EER) generally lacked definition as a discipline until the late 1990s and early 2000s”(Johri & Olds, 2014) relevant literature on graduate-level engineering education prior to the1990’s can be difficult to find.

to write this off as an historical relic, statements such as these have gone un-critiqued in the last 20 years. It should also be noted that another kind of study exists: thosethat compare and contrast male and female department heads or examine women in academicleadership positions12,64,68-71. While presenting another important approach to studyingrelationships between gender and department heads, such studies are not central to theanalysis at hand.Fourth, a discourse of fairness permeates the literature. As the following quotationsdemonstrate, many publications emphasize that the head has an obligation to act ‘fairly’ andthat (s)he will be most successful if (s)he makes ‘fair’ decisions.

Thus, our specific aim was two-fold: first, help learnprogramming/problem solving and, second, facilitate the learning of a textual programminglanguage – the C language. The actual hypothesis tested in the present study was X. The resultsof the experiment that was designed to test our expectation fully support our hypothesis. In whatfollows, we will briefly introduce the tool used and proceed with the discussion of theexperiment and the results.Related WorkThere are many different approaches to facilitating the acquisition of programming language(s).For instance, in order to avoid the complexity of full-fledged programming languages, one canuse simplified

a refinement of strategiesthat experienced physics teachers have been teaching for decades and because it is optimized forthe types of problems traditionally found in physics textbooks. The prescriptions aim to steerstudents away from common novice approaches such as identifying the unknown and searchingfor an equation that contains it, or pattern matching based on superficial aspects of the physicalscenario.12, 15 Although details differ, the prescriptions generally consist of steps like these: 1. Using diagrams as needed, visualize and make sense of the physical situation conceptually/qualitatively. 2. Explicitly identity the relevant physics principles. 3. Using the insights from (1) and (2), write equation(s) that can be
