Progress on Other Hands-On Platforms To date we have developed a number of hands-on learning platforms [5], [6], [7], [9], [16], [17], 18]. In [6] and [7], the authors presented a bending beam apparatus that could be used by undergraduate students in the ME, AE, and CE disciplines. We continue to refine this platform with the goal of making it versatile and cost-effective. This includes refinement of an optical measurement system (Figure 6) to measure beam tip vertical and lateral displacements and twist

These questions and theirordering into factors are based on the extensive meta-study reported in [33]. All questions wereanswered on a 6-point Likert scale.A) Cognitive Engagement Attention The mini projects
correctly completed 277% of assigned challenge activities but scored 70% onthe exam. A low Pearson coefficient signifies a poor linear correlation, which for studentscompleting more than required is shown to have flat trend lines. Those who overachieve onchallenge activities are more likely to receive higher exam grades which corresponds to an A orB. The y-intercepts for greater than 100% for all exams is in the B range and since the trend lines 6closely represent horizontal fits, students who overachieve, correlate to high exam scores. Thosewho overachieve on challenge activities are more likely to receive higher exam grades, whichcorresponds to an A
already being utilized in the class. This addition was made in anattempt to increase student success within the course, especially addressing the mathematicallyunderprepared and underrepresented minority groups within UTA’s diverse engineering studentbody. SI provides a more structured studying environment in which students are led by a peergroup mentor, known as an SI leader, in solving problems, receiving tips on good study habits,and other student success strategies. This is in contrast to the just-in-time tutoring sessions thatare more “drop-in” in format, getting answers to specific questions the students have. This paperwill assess the effects that these two different methods have on success rates in the course,defined as receiving an A, B

First was the tension between (a) having less structure so there arefewer constraints on the students’ visualization and (b) the potential for ambiguity whenevaluating a visualization. Another was the tension between (a) the time it takes to administer anassessment and (b) how much an evaluator can learn about a student’s or a group of students’understanding of a problem. These two tensions overlap. For

Notably, the project approaches diversity from a holistic perspectivethat includes different life experiences, demographic characteristics, problem-solvingapproaches, and personalities, while also valuing the experience of populations historicallyunderrepresented in engineering and computer science.Interventions developed by this program are highly malleable, with the intent of making theirimplementation into multiple campus and course scaffolds, each serving a variety of studentsfrom different backgrounds, a facile process. Each activity is designed to address one of threespecific aims: to teach students to (a) appreciate diversity within the engineering or computingcontext, (b) work in diverse teams, and (c) serve

incident, many poor ethical choices were madewhich exacerbated the loss of life, money, and reputation.The biomedical device case (Scenario B) was an expanded version of one written by Lewis et al.involving a diode failure in a brain stimulator used to prevent epileptic seizures [8]. This scenariois based on the real-world case involving Medtronic’s MarquisTM and Guidant’s VentakTMimplantable defibrillator device recalls in 2005. These two recalls were interesting because theyinvolved two manufacturers with similar device failures in similar products and with the samecustomer base. But the two manufacturers chose very different courses of actions. On February10, 2005, Medtronic provided notice that certain cardiac defibrillators manufactured
