related to student success. There is some evidence to suggest thatthe integration of these skills mutually motivate and support one another while on the other handbringing computational skills into the same course as pre-requisite physics concepts may addmore stress to an already “at-risk” population. We plan to analyze the effects of this conceptualcoupling with student well-being and self-efficacy in a later phase of this study.References[1] J. Butler and M. L.

Rather than the traditional classroom model in which the focus is on theanalysis of thermodynamic energy systems and their real world application, instructors might encour-age students to creatively translate thermodynamics into languages they can clearly understand.They asked sophomore-level students to generate a creative interpretation of Thermodynamics. Theresultant presentations were “a high-energy event in rhythms and rhymes, as students presentedtheir creative work.” Subsequent evaluations found that the creative interpretations helped to clarifyconcepts and increased students’ appreciation of thermodynamics in particular and engineeringin general.

However, since we know very little about elementarystudents’ knowledge and reasoning about design, the first step is for us to find out the status quoof understanding in order to make suggestions on targeted instruction and progressions. Second,we are employing a cross-sectional study to document students’ development of knowledge andreasoning on design across multiple grades. Third, learning progressions focus on fundamentaland generative ideas in a discipline, and design has been identified as an important concept inengineering learning [15].

Through choices in curriculum and content, we see that engineering education oftenreinforces the false divide between the social and technical in engineering [17].

In this instance, the students are guided by thesupplementary information file to focus on the relationships between the variables in theresulting equations. The derivation of closed-loop gain of an op amp circuit when open-loopgain is finite is extremely important in the design of practical op amp circuits.
