Table 2 shows the strengths of eachtool. Excel, Google Forms, and Canvas are readily available to the university community. Whilethe spreadsheet-based methods are easy to use, they are tedious for the coordinator to compile.Spreadsheet tools and SearchLight require faculty to submit an outcome score for each student atthe conclusion of the course. While these scores are linked to signature assessment instruments,it is not clear how faculty aggregate performance and determine the scores. Canvas overcomesthis limitation by clearly linking the

mind map was created as shown in Appendix A.Two very important points should be made about the mind map as presented here. First, a mindmap is simply a way to organize ideas, concepts, techniques, etc. It should not be considered aone-size-fits-all final objective document. It should be considered a living document wherein thecontents can be expanded, techniques can be moved to other levels or removed altogether, etc.For example, there are no set rules on the amount of time spent on a Rank Order and how deepof a learning impact it may have on the students. The author has witnessed a Rank Order withonly five items to rank by each individual student for a total class time of about 8 minutesincluding reflection. Also witnessed is a Rank Order

reasons for significant changes One speculation for these changes in overall student performance is that they reflect going fromthree exams per semester to four. This leads to less content per mid-course exam. But when it comes to afinal exam when students are required to illustrate overall knowledge of the course material, they werenot able to retain and show comprehensive knowledge, resulting in a dip on their final exam. In addition, logistics of having students take online exams while still allowing for grading ofhandwritten work, required allowing students an extra 15-30 minutes upon completion of their exam toscan their handwritten work and upload it to Blackboard for partial credit grading. Extra time allotted tosubmit exam

populations.As the institution being studied, the junior-level MSE lab courses have robust computational modelingand simulation curricular content. Our findings therefore suggest a strong positive impact that frequentuse of simulation tools in MSE courses can have on students’ attitudes toward these tools in the contextof engineering work. However, because we did not directly measure students’ actual competency, butonly their self-efficacy, it is not clear whether their lack of confidence with these tools accurately reflectsa low level of proficiency or whether it reflects a greater level of appreciation of the complexity of thesetools, which novices would not appreciate. It would be valuable for a future study to examine therelationship between actual

Additionally, based on the taxonomy introduced in [4], the hands-on laboratories canactively engage students who are physically handling the robots and reflecting on the conceptslearned in lecture. In other words, lecture is generally regarded as a passive learning activitywhereas the “labture” format can be regarded as active, constructive, or interactive, depending onthe activities designed by

It is anticipated that studentswill retain more information after taking courses that follow all these procedures [12, 13].Students directed through the learning cycle are also exposed to more excellent educationalopportunities and chances for individual thought and self-discovery.Fig.2 Kolb’s Learning Theory3 Methodology3.1 The Use of Experimentation and

This paper provides examples that reflect everydayexperiences while providing insight on the foundational ideas behind derivatives. The focus is onvisual examples and interactive problems to make the idea of derivatives more digestible beforedelving into more complex mathematical definitions.The goal of this paper is to provide supplemental material to instructors to introduce the conceptof derivatives without overwhelming students with equations and definitions.
