A Conceptions of Design Test (CDT) was used tocharacterize changes in learners’ prioritization and understanding of 20 design activities from“analyzing data” to “using creativity” (see Table 1). The instrument included three sets ofquestions: (a) given the list in Table 1 (in alphabetical order to reduce response bias) “select thefive most important and five least important concepts for producing a high quality design”, and(b) “for one of the five terms you marked as most important for producing a high quality, pleaseexplain why you believe it is important.” (c) “for one of the five terms you marked as leastimportant for producing a high quality, please explain why you believe it is not

Students were also asked toself-report their instructor from statics.Instructor A at University A began each lecture in statics by presenting a concept map ofconcepts relevant to that day’s lecture, highlighting how the new information would fit intoprevious content. This serves as an experimental group with regular exposure to concept maps asadvance organizers. Instructors at Universities B and C did not use concept maps as advanceorganizers and serve as a control group for comparison.Table 1: Overview of Research Participants

uncertainty in measurement (“GUM”).Students advance through a rotation of experiments that involve topics from mechanics, optics,electronics and quantum optics. The course follows a progressive structure by starting withconceptually simpler experiments designed to show the effects that the design of the experimentcan have on the final result and its uncertainty. These early labs allow students to focus onconcepts including Type A and Type B uncertainties; systematic errors; standard uncertainty andcombined standard uncertainty; coverage factor; and the propagation of uncertainty. Studentsalso begin to track uncertainty with a rudimentary uncertainty budget. For the rest of the course,the experiments become more open-ended and complex, and the

Table 1: Simplex Tableau 1 The teacher begins by asking student, “What is the current solution?” The studentresponds, “I have no clue.” The student is then asked, “Which columns form the identitymatrix?” The response may still be clueless. The teacher reminds the student that an identitycolumn is a column with all zeros and only a single 1. The student can then say that the identitycolumns are z, s1 and s2. The student is questioned regarding the current solution. The studentshould be able to recall that the values of these variables are the right hand side (RHS). Thus, z =0, s1 = 6, s2 = 4 and all other variables are nonbasic and have a value of 0, x1 = x2 = 0. Student B is asked, “What is the next step?” Most likely the student

illustrated with the ct_conv function. (Note: Several texts define sinc(t) as sin(t)/(t), thedefinition being using here is the same as that used by MATLAB.) For example the convolutionof f1(t) = a sinc(a t) with itself is equal to f1(t), i.e. f1(t) is an idempotent of convolution. Moregenerally, when f1(t) = a sinc(a t) and f2(t) = b sinc(b t) then f1(t) * f2(t) = f1(t) if a ≤ b. Theseproperties are trivial to derive in the frequency domain (the transform of a sinc(a t) isrect(ω/2πa)), but are very difficult to derive in the time domain via direct evaluation of theconvolution integral. This result is often unexpected by Figure 10 shows the result of usingct_conv to verify the previous property with a = 1 and b = 2. The theoretical result and

Inthe RTL layer, the circuits are assembled to form a larger module. In the processor layer, themodule is augmented with additional decoding circuit and buffering registers to interface withthe system bus and to communicate with the processor.

Then students used tubing and a squeeze bulbto inflate it manually. The long time for curing is acceptable if multiple outreach sessions areplanned: students can take two sessions to work on their robot and then come back to test it in athird session allowing the silicon to cure between sessions. However, Finio et al.3 noted therewere no learning outcomes specified in the outreach experience and it was better if studentscould make two robots because the success rate was low (B.

The students are usually full of inquisitiveness andexpectation of the factory practice when mobilized before departure. Nonetheless, theirenthusiasm goes down in varying levels after the first day of internship, which is caused by (a)work efficiency and safety considerations that lead to less communication and interactionwith other factory workers as well as less hands-on opportunities; (b) non-photographing oftechnical information of secret places that lead to low enthusiasm among the students, thustheir practical reports are downloaded from the
