This “just-in-time” curricular approach emphasizes the integrated, holistic nature ofreality – one cannot neatly separate the broader issues from the detailed technical aspects.Unfortunately, this approach often shortchanges the larger issues since they are only touched onin passing.

. Similarly, Olds & Miller [18] examined thecumulative GPAs of multiple student cohorts, but the analysis compared students across groups (thosewho participated in an integrated curriculum intervention and a control) rather than studying the shifts andtrajectories of students’ GPAs without intervention.In this work, we seek to fill this gap by studying students’ GPA over time. By doing so, we may betterunderstand how GPA functions more generally before attempting to pinpoint specific factors thatinfluence GPA positively or negatively. Based on the evidence emphasizing the importance of grades andGPA as a research tool and as an influential aspect of students’ academic lives and overall wellbeing, wealso seek to share the tools of our analysis

There are many techniques that are used for this, but we thinkonly one, traditional sketching, is being taught, and the reason why it is being taught is usuallythe idea of working in the absence of a computer rather than the nature and needs of conceptualdesign. we are very conscious of the main problem of parsing: excluding essential information.Informal Design GraphicsWe are not yet sure what the informal graphics curriculum for conceptual design should look likeand this paper is only an

abstraction.Furthermore, students anchored in high-level language (HLL) paradigms frequently misjudge thecomplexity underlying the conveniences offered by the higher abstraction [6]. Confronted by theintricate details of the ISA, students might adopt a fragmented learning strategy, focusing more onindividual instructions rather than comprehending an integrated machine model. This shallow approachdirectly contrasts with the primary objectives of assembly language courses [6].Several attempts have been reported in the literature to enable a smoother transition from HLL intoassembly. For example, [3] proposes a unique classification system for assembly instructions in a smallmicrocontroller, presented in reference tables based on functionality, allowing students to

Each teamconstructed their cannons using PVC piping to launch acetal plastic projectiles. Students wereadditionally required to design a functional release valve mechanism to trigger the projectilelaunch.
