A“progressive reading log” can develop student notetaking abilities through one semester: early inthe semester the log provides directed reading responses (like a CPA) with increasingly open-ended prompts toward the end of the semester (like a Structure Reading Guide (SRG))[32].SRGs adapt Cornell Notes[2] for STEM studies by creating worksheets with spaces fordefinitions, examples, proofs, analysis, reflections, and summaries[50].

Designing for sustainability, with its conscientious use of resources and consideration of environmental, economic, societal, and global contexts, is a helpful framework for approaching design work in a manner consistent with faithful stewardship and obedience, reflecting God’s love for humans and the rest of His creation, upholding His values of justice and mercy, and aligning with his plan for future

Such awareness and monitoring processes are often refer to asmetacognition –“ the processes in which the individual carefully considers thoughts in problemsolving situations through the strategies of self-planning, self-monitoring, self-regulating, self-questioning, self-reflecting, and or self-reviewing” [1]. The contention of this research is thatmetacognitive awareness on the part of students can be improved through systematic and directinstructions on strategic thinking.

You should be able to see the light from the LED reflecting back from the flat side of the motor shaft periodically, forming a “delayed” rotation figure. As you change the frequency, you will see the notch rotating slower or faster. This is called the strobe effect.- At one specific frequency, you will see the notch of the motor appear to stall.

Student feedback also suggests an intellectual curiosity to exploremore of the system modelling. In addition, the goal of closing the design loop has beenmet with positive feedback.As an initial offering the course instructor wanted to expose first year students to thetools that would be used in an iterative design process.
