student engagement, participation, and perception of competence[5]. However, design-based activities require more resources and planning compared to project-based activities, and, thus, may not be feasible for resource limited institutions. Nedic et al.presented project-based laboratories for first year students studying non-major courses [4]. Theselaboratories included power supply, racing car, and moisture probe and required limited priortechnical knowledge to complete the projects. The project-based laboratories were reported toincrease student satisfaction, reduce attrition rate, and improve student success rate [4].Similarly, electrical engineering laboratory projects developed for non-majors were shown toinduce student interest to apply the

First-Year Mechanical Engineering CourseAbstractAn activity is designed and deployed in a first-year mechanical engineering class to exposestudents to heat transfer. This educational activity is part of an introductory course given duringthe first year to introduce students to mechanical engineering and give them tools to use whilepursuing their Bachelors of Science degree. The activity is scalable and can be easily deployed infirst-year engineering classes at other educational institutes. Its rigor is planned for first-yearstudents who have not yet taken the prerequisites required for heat transfer. It is presented withits goals, goal attainment measures and feedback representing the student perception. Analysis ofthe student’s work and

Almost withoutexception, there are changes the faculty member can make right away to try to improve studentlearning, as well as changes that can inform future offerings of the course. There are also caseswhere it makes the most sense to ask students to make a change—e.g., prepare a notes page touse in an exam, instead of an open-book exam. In either case, the feedback data is never the onlybasis for making changes, and the instructional consultant’s expertise is obviously critical ininforming teaching decisions.

Additionally, students who submit homeworkassignments before they are due tend to perform better in the course than average, and studentswho submit homework assignments very late tend to preform worse. We plan to provide these results to our students in an attempt to improve theirperformance. Students may be more willing to improve their performance on teams and submithomework assignments earlier if they are given results backed by data which was collected froman engineering course as opposed to anecdotal stories or research collected from differentmajors.

Accordingto our analysis, Support Vector Machine is more accurate and effective than the other algorithms.This model can help the instructors in providing better guidance for the students. The data is notnormally distributed because the output variable contains records with more ones and fewerzeros where we considered 1 for scores above 60% and 0 for scores below 60%. The data hasvery few students with scores below 60% and hence it is not normally distributed.

More specifically, our findings suggest that the “lens” – the methodsof data collection in a study and the units of analysis – does impact principal study findings, evenfrom the same undergraduate population. Given that the findings of our study were used to drivestrategic planning for diversity and inclusion efforts at our institution, we caution against relyingon a single methodology – however consistent the findings appear to be with existing literature –to set your course of action and/or generalize to larger populations.

The fasificationist or theory-then-research approach, on the other hand, involves thenotion of a conjecture or hypothesis to be refuted or falsified via the design of a research plan totest it (Chalmers, 1982). In this paper, we would like to emphasize that, whichever approach istaken in the process of building theory, there are elements and procedures in common that needto be identified.
