Students then used this information topredict which stimuli their subject was attending to in order to control the BCI maze.To relate neurons and their action potentials, a topic taught in AP Biology courses, to the voltagedifferences measured with EEG (with different areas of the brain corresponding to physiologicalbehaviors), lecture activities focused on students using their knowledge of anatomy to predictspecific physiological behaviors from an EEG signal (see Appendix B). For example, studentswere shown EEG and the corresponding power spectral data for electrodes placed on differentportions of the brain; based on the anatomical location alone, the students

Completing this table clarifies several common stumblingpoints for students (such as incorrectly including pressure as a force), and ensuring that everyoneunderstands what forces to consider, and potential options to control them, when designing theROV.Hands-On Demo. In this course, students are limited to a maximum of four thrusters to use onthe ROV. The limitation on thrusters is partially financial but mostly to practice working withdesign constraints. However, it is difficult for students to understand the implication of the limitednumber of thrusters on their future ROV’s maneuverability without seeing the effects first-hand.Our students do have a lab in which

MethodsThe research compares the performance of the students (pass/fail) in either sections usingdescriptive analyses employing one variable and two variable relationships. The relationshipsconsidered include: (a) for one variable: comparing the grade distribution across the sectionswith and without ALM, gender, ethnicity, student level, and prior GPA (b) for two variables:grade performance by gender and ALM, and ethnicity and ALM. Further, we build on thedescriptive analyses by developing individual level models of student grade performance whilecontrolling for several covariates simultaneously. The modeling approach controls for severalstudent characteristics and is more likely to offer stable model attribute impacts on gradecompared to

This distinction is significant because a) there is a perceiveddisassociation between STEM fields and communal goals, and b) women are more likely thanmen to endorse communal goals3,4.
