The students wereasked to rate their engineering confidence on a Likert scale using two instruments: 1. The academic self-confidence instrument 19,20 focuses on confidence in three areas: a. Open-ended problem-solving b. Math and science skills c. Professional and interpersonal skills 2.

There are a host of accessories available to be used with the Uno and thereare more powerful Arduino boards (like the Zero) that utilize a 32 microcontroller, however it isroughly twice as expensive as the Uno. A search of Amazon.com yields a selection of over onethousand Arduino products with various “starter kits” and accessories.

of sustainability projects passed on campus: 1 was given to the route if it passed by 0 - 1 projects, 2 for 2 - 4 projects, and 3 for greater than 4 projects. The last factor, quality of indoor and outdoor sitting areas, was a subjective evaluation based on group members’ opinions of the route and its atmosphere. The first two factors were weighted twice as much as the third as they were more important to the theme. From this scoring system, the optimal route between every two waypoints was determined.This team labeled their four waypoints as A, B, C, and D, and performed a force field analysis onthe routes between each waypoint, according to Table 1, with higher scores being better.Table 1 Student Sample – Force

How do teachers integrate science units with engineering design units? a. What aspects of the curriculum or content do they struggle with? b. What do teachers feel most influenced their implementation in terms of their instructional goals or learning outcomes?2. How does the instructional sequence
