Following the dissection activity, students are given 10 minutes tocome up with additional ideas for the design prompt. As a final step, the students are led througha 20-minute discussion activity led through the PowerPoint presentation that focuses on theusefulness of the product dissected for the activity, the impact of the complexity of the productdissection on design outcomes, and the reuse of features from the product dissected in the designideas. The module is culminated in a student-reflection which captures their understanding of thedissection lesson.Case Study of Module

First, theM2 approach places making in a context that is culturally and socially situated to the students’ ownexperience. Second, it exposes students to the facets of the production pipeline, leading them tothe potential to develop novel and useful products for society. Third, M2 creates a scenario thatplaces students in long-term production as Makers fully engaging in STEM. Altogether, thisapproach could give students a holistic view as to their developed making skills may be transferred.This reflects Grovetants’ identity formation specifically as to how the M2 holds implications onteamwork, leadership, critical

Confidence in written skills improved, thoughperhaps not as much, which likely more broadly reflects individual project mentors requirementsfor written work - there were no formal written report requirements for the REU as a whole, andso different students had different experiences here.

They are completingthe same problems individually and their group score reflects how many quiz questions eachperson gets right. One enhancement might be creating a system that would require them to workcollaboratively to solve a more complicated problem or to engage in other activities such asreviewing each other’s code.Another problem is the lack of an integrated IDE within SEP-CyLE.

A small dropin the rating is observed in the second year, which we believe is due to the fact that all the highquality PBL criteria were not satisfied properly. This is also reflected in the students’ commentas they found the group project to be more stressful: “Not sure that the group project for us didmuch more than added more stress.” With addition of Agile in the third year, the overall learningrating shows a promising improvement indicating that the management skills helped student tomanage their projects to learn more.Students were also asked to provide an overall rating for the instructor (Q5).

Various researchers agree that hands-on activities can assist students torelate to the concepts that are behind the technology used in these activities [20-22]. This isespecially important in academic areas like mechanical principles where mathematical andengineering theory are connected with manual methods [23].In education, robots are used in outreach activities to motivate students to become interested inScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) starting in kindergarten [24] andelementary school [25, 26] and beyond.

Of 65 students respondingto the course survey, only one commented that this type of activity was not very useful.Conversely, there were eight comments that explicitly reflected positively on the use ofdemonstration and activities to learn concepts.Further, the value of class demonstrations is shown by comparing the most recent course (2018)with the previous course (2017). The 2017 offering of the course did not use classroomdemonstrations (to any significant extent). Comparing 2017 to 2018, there was a 93% increase inthe

However, if at the beginning of the discussion, people argued that gender issues at theUniversity were almost irrelevant (since no problems had been reported), in the course of thedebate people started to reflect more about the subject, admitting several situations of inequalitydue to gender.The next challenge consisted in discussing possible solutions for the identified issues, which turnedout to be also very difficult, not only to find solutions but also to recognize good practices in

This was reflected in one response, “We also knewthat the isolation would have an effect on the structure response however, we didn’t expect it tohave a huge impact. The results of our data was shocking to all of us.” Lastly, by using theisolators in the experimental test, the students had excellent insight into ways that these 3Ddevices can be improved for future applications as discussed in the next section. Overall, thestudy was effective in bringing a rather theoretical subject matter such as seismic isolation to lifeand increasing students’ ability to relate to the subject matter and begin to build upon
