things to be done fast; their attention span has shrunk over the pastfew years. So, new engineering experiment designs have to take this into account. In thermalscience, an experiment that take over 40 minutes to reach steady state is considered very longand ‘boring’ by today’s students.Based on these trends, engineering professors are led to look for experimental designs that:  can be constructed in-house with no money or little money  can be duplicated to create more than one experimental station  take relatively short time to perform  have a clear and direct connection to theoretical concepts (not convoluted, so that students do not miss the point(s) of the experiment while trying to make sense of what they are doing

routeswith varying levels of difficulty also provided an opportunity for risk taking and success throughtrial and error. In other words, if a team originally chooses a route and/or sensor(s) that requireshigher levels of programming and they continue to fail, shifting to a different and possibly easiernavigational route can happen.Before students arrived, teams were randomly formed (two teams of five and three teams of sixstudents), lab facilitators and helpers assigned, and team packets prepared with event resources,such as team member role cards. PMTM 2.0 allowed each team member to choose their rolefrom the options shown in Table 1, and the mission recorder role from 2015 was removed andthe role of data engineer added. This was primarily based on

It would be more convenient for a user (e.g. instructor) to use thesystem if the system could be integrated into a single application file with a Graphic UserInterface (GUI). Second, we will update the system for a more robust face recognition if acorresponding algorithm is available. Third, based on the survey, some students have a privacyconcern on face recognition.

Sometimes, a child decided to start a project solo and wasthen approached by an interested classmate. The classmate first asked for permission to assistand then joined in if permission was granted – if permission was denied they either started theirown project or moved along to another play area. Permission was rarely denied and rarely, if atall, did the other children just watch.
