virtual environment needs to create an experience similar to manually manipulating laboratory equipment. This was accomplished by: a. Creating modules that are interactive; the student operates the simulated equipment in a similar way one would operate the physical equipment. b. Incorporating real data from physical experiments. Then, during the simulated experiments, the student collects data and later analyzes it. c. Emphasizing safety both as separate topics, such as general lab practices and radiation safety, as well as throughout the virtual experiments (such as a radiation

The torque-twist characteristics were obtained in the same way as the circular crosssection, but only one material was used. The results are shown graphically in Figure 6.For the square cross section, the determination of torsional stiffness requires consideration ofwarping which is available only in advanced texts on

Basically, the classifier can recognizethese 3 objects with very high accuracy (89.1% for the digital scale, 91.3% for the pump and98.4% for the Xplorer GLX. The relatively low accuracy of the recognition is attributable to theKinect’s inability to cope with reflective surfaces which reduces the scanning accuracy.

called for a shift in the focusof student learning in engineering design from specific content knowledge4 todisciplinary core ideas and practices2. This shift requires that educators, curriculumwriters, and researchers develop student learning experiences that share central aspects ofprofessional engineering situations – i.e., problems that are open-ended, ill-defined, andoccur within rich, socio-material contexts5. To develop informed approaches, thecommunity needs a deeper understanding of the phenomenological aspects of studentlearning and engagement that unfold in rich, multilayered learning situations6-8. In thiswork, we examine how students learn to manage “messy” design situations9, in whichthey must make assumptions, accommodate

IC can promote self-directedlearning and help develop professional problem solving skills because the format teaches thestudent to find and interpret the information needed to solve problems13.Challenges, however, exist with the Inverted Classroom regarding student (a) preparedness forclass, (b) attention span while watching online videos, and (c) misconceptions of fundamentalprinciples [15]. Basic guidelines, by Zappe et al., and Rais-Rohani et al.9, to overcome thesechallenges include (1) requiring an online quiz before class to ensure preparedness, (2) keepingvideos less than 30 minutes, (3) fixing student misconceptions by spending the first 10 minutesof class answering questions or holding mini-lectures, and

categorize a problem better if thereexists an understanding of the deep structure of a problem, and this supports the problem solverin the quest of finding the correct solution approaches 17.Therefore, to effectively integrate these tools in engineering contexts, students can also developproblem solving and design skills in addition to inquiry skills, the adoption of a “practiceperspective” is needed 3. In a practice perspective the focus of learning is on participation inauthentic contexts where the learning experiences: (a) are personally meaningful to the learner,(b) relate to the real-world, and (c) provide an opportunity to think in the modes of a particulardiscipline 4.

ConclusionsBuilding on the success of our programming narratives LC, we have developed three differentstrategies integrating writing that incorporates narrative elements into problem-solving courses forcomputer systems majors and non-majors: (a) a module to develop narrative and writing skills forcomputer programming courses; (b) student-developed stories serving as contexts for computerprogramming courses; and (c) interdisciplinary creative writing and computational thinkingcourse for non-majors. Such intentional interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving willpromote learning transfer, providing students with the skills to succeed in college and beyond
