of links in front of or behind one another. Aunique feature of the design is the use of strong permanent magnets to secure the two stationarypin joints. This allows students to adjust the pivot points in order to explore how their locationinfluences the type and range of motion. Furthermore, the students discovered that the magnetsmade it possible for the 4-bar mechanism to be affixed to the white boards on the walls ofstandard classrooms on campus.

questionnaire was uploaded to Google forms and sent to all respondents usingWhatsapp chat. The questions are about the admission process, the reaction from their familiesfrom the first moment they decided to study an Engineering program, their first year experiencein the university and some suggestions they wanted to give to the university to improve theoverall experience of female applicants and students. With the answers to the survey, somegraphs were made and wil be shown next.The first question was “When you decided to study Engineering, your family a) agreed with thedecision, b) disagreed with the decision”. Fig. 5 shows the results to this question and as we cansee not 100% of students were supported in the decision, with 7% of students answering
more open to receiving SI. This outcome may be key to convincingeven strong students that tutoring can help them gain additional mastery of a subject area. References [1] K. B. Coletti, M. Covert, P.

Promoting student interaction and engagement was a cornerstone of the face-to-faceversion of our courses. Chi and Wylie developed the ICAP framework and show that “asactivities move from passive to active to constructive to interactive, students undergo differentknowledge-change processes and, as a result, learning will increase.” (Chi and Wylie, 2014) Inthis framework, Chi and Wylie (2014) define “interactive behaviors to dialogues that meet twocriteria: (a) both partners’ utterances must be primarily constructive, and (b) a sufficient degreeof turn taking must occur.” The behaviors

FG03, Cheddar: 13:37… I think when I hear "socio-technical engineering," I think of understanding that the things that we, as engineers create, even though we design it for a certain purpose, we also have to take into [account] the aspect that they could be used for other means, whether they're productive or they're malicious…. That every decision we make and everything we create has a consequence towards society and towards the people that we make it for and we have to take that into consideration. FG04, Johnathan: 33:55
