These cycles can occur within a few minutes to over a couple of days, depending on how the ConcepTests are delivered.Results from both types of cycles imply that the rate of demonstrated learning is quite low incomparison to the time allocated for a typical course. For example, the pass rate for a MasteryTest is typically below 20%, implying that a typical student would require 5 attempts to pass thetopic. With ConcepTests, typically fewer than 1/3 of the students who initially answerincorrectly change to the correct answer by the time of the final poll. Yet within these apparentlydismal statistics appear promising marks of student progress, but at a rate that is markedly slowerthan what the academic calendar

IntroductionRecent studies show problem-solving ability is being increasingly prioritized as a core aspect ofengineering curriculum and a fundamental competency demanded by employers. However, notonly are problem-solving activities time consuming for students, they are also often difficult toassess beyond simply checking for correctness of the final answer. In addition, it is difficult in aclassroom setting to deliver useful feedback [1]. While popular online tutoring frameworks exist[2], [3] that support structures for mathematical problem solving and some

Theauthor is particularly concerned by how such initiatives position themselves to universalize howcomputing should be taught and performed, echoing the legacies of educational institutions thatenforced cultural and epistemic hegemony upon marginalized students [1]. These nationalcomputing education initiatives are primed to magnify problematic notions of equity withinefforts to broaden participation, if not computing more generally. Because a thorough review ofwell-intentioned yet inequitable computer science equity initiatives is outside the scope of thispaper, this review will highlight three salient critiques.First, discourse in broadening participation tends to frame underrepresented studentsexploitatively.

process.Background and motivationEngineering curricula are typically structured with courses in mathematics, scientific theory, andapplied mathematical and physical analysis methods. Despite a decades-long push for designcourses and activities, studies show that engineering programs focus too heavily on teachingscience and analysis rather than holistic design [1]. This conflicts with the needs of modernsociety, which requires products that take into consideration factors unrelated to technical skills,such as user needs and sustainability [2]. In other words, technical design does not take place in avacuum; market and environmental factors play a critical role in design success. In fact, “designin context” that considers consumer needs and market
