positive effect in solving puzzles in the pirate game.4 DiscussionWe have presented the design of two games that have found success in the classroom to helpunderstand university level linear algebra curriculum. The games were designed to work with anexisting inquiry oriented curriculum and demonstrated that games can be successfully integratedwith inquiry oriented pedagogy. In the next steps we plan to run a mixed-methods basedproficiency measuring study that looks at students of linear algebra from multiple demographics(novice/experienced; undergraduates/pre-service teachers) and collect data on decision choicesmade in both the bunny and pirate games. We are particularly interested in learning how thedecisions evolve with game repetition and if
sequence ofsteps to solve a problem. Problem decomposition is breaking down a problem into smaller andmore manageable segments. Pattern recognition involves finding generalizable features acrossdifferent problems and the potential for cross-applicability. Lastly, debugging is testing for errorsand correcting them. While abstraction and decomposition are terms consistently appearingacross studies, the other components used to define CT may vary [7]. However, the central ideamaintained is that CT equips individuals with a framework for solving problems in a structuredand systematic way, regardless of the domain in which the problem arises. CT is closely relatedto engineering principles in planning and assessing complicated systems meant to

While the student Teammet formally with a faculty “Manager” for a formal Weekly Meeting, the overwhelming emphasiswas for the student Team to reach their own designs, experience their own failures and successes inearning their own know-how, resolve their own communications and scheduling conflicts, and torespond to customer critical comments of prototype product performance. The students rotated boththe Team leadership and the project planning on a weekly basis to give each member multipleopportunities for experiencing how a project is managed.The collaboration of the Engineering and

We found that this would be an idealsystem to use in our design as this could convert the changing direction of rotation of the axle thatcomes from the seesaw going up and down into one directional rotation.The next step in our design process was to connect this rotational motion to the electricitygenerating device. We decided to use a gear ratio to increase the speed of rotation that would bedriving the generation process, as we planned on using electromagnetic induction to generateelectricity, which outputs more electricity with a higher rotational speed.

it ends upbeing an exercise and not an application-based project, which makes enquiry, a critical attribute of anengineering project. J. Krajcik et al. [13] indicated with their findings that the inquiry process made the studentsthoughtful in designing investigations and in planning procedures. The projects are student driven, so there isa better shot at the project success, when the problem statement is genuinely original, and solution to thatproblem has the potential to be directly implemented in a real-life application. W.E. Blank et al.

The secondmodel is more succinct (i.e., simpler), but does not demonstrate the multifaceted nature of caring’s impact on ff the other motivational factors. Given the small total size of estimate differences (.07), we suggest the first model be used to guide future research as it demonstrates that various forms of motivation do not occur in isolation of one another. Future plans include replication of the path analysis using a larger sample size. In addition, further research on

Programming Tasks: The two short programs that we are planning to use in this study arethe minimum sun and the rainfall problem. The minimum sum problem provides the program withan array of integers as input and adds the sum of all elements of the array and the minimum valueof the array. The rainfall program uses a sentinel-controlled while loop to read the integers(rainfall) as input and output the average of these integers. The sentinel condition stops takinginput when the user enters 99999. Additionally, the program excludes negative numbers whilecalculating
using a countersink in the design of the holes on the table.This allowed the lip to form, as it seemed to be part of the printing process, but kept the holeaccurate to the dimension that it was designed to be. After making this adjustment and keepingthe radius of the hole at 0.25 in. as originally proposed, the pulley started to work as planned andthe design was tested further. Multiple tests were done using the mass set and string to replicate2D and 3D equilibrium problems.In these tests, the shaft of the pulley bent with any mass hung. This threw off the accuracy of theproblems, as the pulley wheel was pulled closer to the origin and the string was rubbing upagainst the holes in the table. The initial idea to fix this was trying different

Therefore, administrative personnel may choose to offer some course releases or flexibility in the research expectations, especially during challenging times. • Academic Adviser: Academic advisors also play a critical role in helping ease some of the stress students might have. This is because the advisors are a gateway into the courses and hence, they can provide some guidance to students as to which course is more demanding in terms of time and effort. This will allow students to plan their coursework especially if there are other underlying issues

This seems to encourage the importance of emphasizing substitutability [19] as theprimary benefit of inheritance, rather than reuse of code.This work demonstrates both the viability and limitations of using whiteboard interviews as amethod to evaluate student comprehension with respect to design. Despite challenges, thisapproach offers a novel means of evaluation, creates an opportunity for industry partnership, andcan aid students in preparing for real interviews.The most pressing concern is to validate the three-level model. Original plans for a larger-scalereplication study have been hampered by the pandemic. Plans now call for two separateapproaches: semi-structured interviews with industry professionals, and the

design project.Our ECE program has a junior design course, a scaled-down version of the senior capstoneproject course. The junior design course will be altered in the coming semester to use the sameEML materials and a modified set of Makerspace activities. The benefit of moving to the juniordesign course is to use a course required for all ECE majors. In addition, the junior design courseis flexible on the lesson plan to accommodate a wide range of lecture topics.The EML modules can also be expanded in junior design since the instructor can expand beyonda single lecture. The new material that can be added to the EML module includes: • Discussions on licenses of IP as part of the cost • Business plan on the scalability of the product
present learning even though they were formedthrough other learning experiences long ago. We think that to meet our challenge it takes more than teaching studentsgraphical tools. We plan to comprehensively incorporate the concept ofmental imagery into our teaching methods and materials in the fields course.Our future work will take into account the following considerations: 1. Though it is difficult (or impossible) to fully know a student’s mental imagery, there are many tangible ways to “estimate” it. Drawings, written words, patterns of errors, all reveal much of what is on one’s mind. 11 2. The internal imagery development is intrinsically a process of discovery. The teacher provides
with these groups and build on their expertise. For example,Sheffield [24] identified 12 themes related to safe practice in community engagement / service-learning settings: communication, pre-planning, project familiarity, project appropriateness,student conduct, service impact, student ownership, adult supervision, community partner,administration, parental consent, and transportation. There are also numerous examples of safetyguidelines for study abroad programs (e.g, [25]). If faculty are organizing off-campus activities,they may wish to review advice from both of these areas to assist them with anticipatingpotential safety risks and taking steps to mitigate these hazards. And there are times whenplanned activities must be delayed, such as
?” The five items related to self-efficacy are: “Enthusiasm forengineering,” “Interest in taking or planning to take additional engineering classes,” “Confidencethat you understand the material,” “Confidence that you can do statics work,” and “Your comfortlevel in working with complex ideas.” Response options were a five-point Likert scale from “nogains” to “great gains.” These five items are moderately to highly positively correlated with eachother (see Table 1) and have high internal reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha of .93; togetherthese suggest the items can be combined to constitute a single measure that is a stronger signal ofself-efficacy than each individual item.Table 1.

The Faculty developed tools and resources to encourage students to take exchangeopportunities. The challenge was always balance. It was harder to encourage outbound studentexchange than inbound exchange. For Engineering students, in particular, employment ratesupon graduation were extremely high contributing to higher than average starting salaries forgraduates of over A$90,000. Any activity that might delay graduation had significant financialimplications. The Faculty worked hard to create program plans which supported students toundertake exchange without
