measure effect changes. In fact, according to several authors, longitudinal data arethe most reliable and rigorous approach to measure change 6,36,37. Moreover such methods areattributed to possess several advantages such as increased internal validity as inter-participant orgroup differences do not systematically distorted inferences and repeated measures reducemeasurement errors 38.The MBT design, illustrated in Figure 1, involves multiple A-B (before and after) design studiesthat are conducted simultaneously to enhance validity and reliability of inferences 39,40.Specifically, repeated baseline measurements are simultaneously gathered across independentgroups of students to represent the performance prior to the introduction of the

was partially determined based on the US 100 point letter grade system: 100 - 97%= A+, 96 - 94% = A, 93 - 90% = A-, etc. A change in mean score greater than or equal to 2.25%was likely to result in a change in letter grade (for example, B+ to A-) and thus was expected tobe meaningful to the students. The cut-off value for the change in mean in the 2% to 3% range Page 23.1082.4was determined empirically. Typical Scores: | µ new – µ old | = Δµ < 2.25% (3)Finally, it was determined that there can be no outliers if the removal of a score will notmeaningfully change the agreement of the jury. Thus

The amount ofeffort exerted on homework three, problem four was one of the three features selected to predictthe performance on this midterm problem. Interesting, the midterm problem can be considered arotated version of the homework problem. This clearly shows students transferring knowledgefrom the homework problem to solve the midterm problem. Figure 7: Homework three, problem four (a) and midterm one, problem one (b).These results indicate practical changes instructors can make to homework assignments. Namely,this suggests that exam problems which comprise simple extensions to homework problems

The choice of these particular GSEP languages was driven by a strategic aim to(a) maximize coverage of languages and regions with strong global STEM leadership; and (b)leverage existing degree programs in our Modern Languages department. In the German, Frenchand Spanish variants, GSEP scholars augment their primary STEM degree with a second BA intheir chosen foreign language, performing both coursework and their internships in the foreignlanguage while abroad; in Chinese and Japanese variants, GSEP scholars earn a minor in thelanguage and, accordingly, pursue English-centric study and internships while abroad.

compared to traditionalstudents. With the incorporation of design experiences throughout the curriculum, thesedeficiencies can be overcome. This particular design experience was well-funded and hadsignificant faculty support, but simpler design experience could be just as effective. Forinstance, a much simpler design concept could have been used while still allowing the students toexperience the entire design process, and time/costs could be lower. Page 23.893.16 Bibliography1.

Autonomousmobile robots are noticeably being used in various industrial and non-industrial applicationsnowadays. The purpose of this project was to study the National Instrument’s Robotic StarterKit 1.0 (DaNI) and to develop a graphical programming model in LabVIEW Robotics Module2011 for combining mobile robot path planning and collision avoidance concepts. The LabVIEWprogram enables the mobile robot to travel from a user defined starting point A to a destinationpoint B through avoiding undefined obstacle on its route. The LabVIEW program is based on the“Sense, Think and Act”1 concept where the robot senses for obstacles in its route by anultrasonic sensor, makes a

feedback is necessary to help students further develop these skills and ithas been suggested such feedback is best when situated in the context of authentic engineeringtasks 3. We hypothesize that in such a context, students are more likely to take up feedback onprofessional skills because these skills will be viewed as an integral part of what an engineerdoes. There are two parts to providing students with feedback on these skills: (a) we first musthave a firm understanding of what it means to have professional skills in engineering, and (b) weneed to know how to effectively provide students with feedback on these skills.The case study described in this paper focuses on discourse as students receive feedback whilethey engage in an industrially

Both classes were taught by the first author usingthe revised approach.Because there is always the possibility that one cohort happens to be more academically adeptthan the other, the prior academic performance of each cohort was examined in terms of theirgrade point average (GPA) in prerequisite mathematics and science courses, specifically,Calculus I, Calculus II, Physics I, and Physics II. The GPA for these courses was calculatedusing the following four-point scale: A 4.000 B 3.000 C 2.000 D 1.000 A 3.667 B
