Developing Representations to Scaffold Capstone Design R. Alan Cheville, Michael S. Thompson Bucknell UniversityThis presentation discusses how representations—methods for how ideas are expressed—havebeen incorporated into a capstone design project in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Overthe past several years the authors have been developing methods that effectively represent thedesign process. This work discusses how four different representations were implemented in thefirst semester of a one year capstone design course to allow student teams to self-manage aproject in the second semester. The four representations are: 1) A functional abstraction that

Implementing Mastery-Based Education Within an Adaptive Instructional Tool Richard C Simpson, PhD New York Institute of TechnologyMastery-based learning refers to a form of instruction in which a student's progression isdependent on demonstrating mastery of the material through successful completion of tasks orassessments [Arlin84]. While mastery-based learning has many potential benefits, actuallyimplementing a mastery-based approach within a course is challenging. In my courses, I use anadaptive instructional tool called Smart Sparrow 1 to both deliver instruction and performformative assessments that allow students to demonstrate mastery.One obvious challenge of mastery-based
