The videoscreated for this course are instead set in the labs where students will work on experiments andprojects. First-year and computer-aided design courses have used videos for a variety of topicsincluding: technical writing, software, programming, drawing, modeling, communication,problem solving, and teamwork (Fraley, 2015; Shah, 2013; Shreve, 2011). However, the videosused in these courses prepare students to complete assignments and take exams. On the contrary,the NI ELVIS and CAD video viewed before the lab prepare students to complete hands-onexercises in the lab and for their project. This makes the visual learning aspect of the videos

inside and outside theclassroom. In the TIED-UP model, the instructional delivery begins with the process of creating theconcept movie that involves subject research, protocol identification, script writing, animation, audio, aswell as video making, editing, and uploading to a web interface accessible to all the students before thesame concept is introduced in the class. Along this process, activities that are mandated for this concept arealso prepared in advance as a set of what we call TIED-UP sheets. TIED-UP sheets include short quizzesthat test conceptual knowledge, along with problems of varying level of complexity that enable theinstructor to assess the student’s knowledge. This follows in-class delivery of the concept, using the TIED-UP

It is commonly used in writing andusually given in one the following three forms: 1) breaking up an assignment into smallerassignments, 2) keeping assignment constant but increasing the difficulty of materials, or 3)creating a scaffold within a single assignment. 3 The levels of learning based

Students wereasked on the initial assessment to place a star next to items with which they have little to noexperience and circle items with which they have extensive experience. In the final survey,students were asked to circle items for which they felt the laboratory improved their level ofunderstanding and cross out the items for which their level of understanding was not improved.No response was an option in both surveys.Students were also asked to provide feedback on the affective learning environment byindicating descriptive
valence or affect [8]. The commonality ofaffective assessments underscores the importance of emotion in the learning process, especiallyin the context of game-based learning where play is an element of motivation. They write thatthe body of research on game-based learning in engineering, “nearly unanimously agree[s] thatstudents enjoy game-based learning” but there is a significant lack of studies demonstrating theimpact on learning outcomes. This is either due to a lack of validated measures (e.g. student self-assessment on individually developed surveys or questionnaires) or small sample sizes and/ormissing statistical analysis [8].While games may inspire thoughts of play, the two are overlapping but distinct topics in thecontext of education

Later, during my firstsemester as an assistant professor, I used similar activities, and the feedback from the students waspositive and encouraging. Meanwhile, I started to attend several workshops on teaching and activelearning methods. In my second semester as an assistant professor, I taught a laboratory class onsignal processing. I implemented basic active learning techniques in this course and likewisereceived promising feedback from the students. However, given the nature of the class, I concludedthat class time could be better utilized by one-on-one discussions with students to tailor thelaboratory time to individual student needs

I had the opportunity to work with a new professor and learn about their research and how it relates to 3D printing.From a follow-up survey conducted about six months after the RET experience, five RETparticipants responded. Of the five, four teachers said that they implemented their learnedexperiences from the RET into their teaching. The implementation rages from using scavengerhunt activities for Free-Body diagrams developed during the RET to writing and winning a$1,000 technology grant to purchase a 3-D printer and supplies by utilizing modules andactivities developed during the RET

The training is done in person, and it is not alwayspossible for all three of the newest selectors to be present at every training session, so this chartgives everyone a sense of their progress. At the time of this writing, the newest cohort ofengineering selectors are currently half-way through this more structured training. It is importantto note that due to the winter holidays, conferences, and the like, this in-depth training has beendelayed and sporadic. A downside to the enriched training is that it takes longer, increasing thelikelihood that life and other responsibilities will get in the way.

Then, the task of thestudents is to assemble the insights and techniques they believe to be the most pertinent and findways to verify their attempt with their peers. This is by no means an easy task, but one that materialsscientists and engineers routinely engage in.What kinds of assessments can we craft for evaluating students’ integration capability? Thisremains an open question. Nonetheless, below are some ideas: • Recognizing diverse epistemologies o What kind of questions about [phenomenon] would be interesting to [community]? o When publishing a paper with a brand-new finding, what do you think are the standards that [community] would

KFUPM (King Fahd University for Petroleum and Minerals), one of the most reputedpublic universities in the kingdom, is currently being approached to make available a girls’section in the university, and offer degrees in petroleum and excavation engineering [31]. Indeedmany Saudi girls do aspire to become engineers in this field, and many travel to earn suchdegrees from other countries.

Alarge number of the studies assessed performance in standardized testing, while othersspecifically investigated confidence in writing or in speaking [8]. The results also put specialemphasis on a breadth of attributes, such as personality, metacognition, and cognitive abilities[12-14]. Finally, the methods of evaluation used by researchers range from statistical hypothesistesting, to confidence metrics, scores, and correlation matrices.In order to gather the data necessary to measure confidence, a typical study requests that theparticipants provide a rating expressed in terms of a percentage, corresponding to theirconfidence level with their response [15-16].
