questionnaire used forthe educators can be found in appendix B. Note that there are not many differences between thetwo questionnaires, as we were mainly interested in feedback regarding the implemented/to-be-implemented features of the solution. The few differences will be apparent during the resultanalysis.We received responses from ten students and six tutors, which represents a response rate ofrespectively 40% and 66%. The feedback from both students and tutors showed a high interestin the features of this solution.Respondents profileNine out of ten of students who answered this questionnaire are undergraduate students, whereasthe last one is a post-graduate student. 70 % of students estimate that they are beginners in SE,and the most usual way of

illustrated the same learning concepts as the demonstrations for a more equitableexperience as Group1. Each group consisted of two or three class sections. The students’response on the pre-/post-survey and their feedback on the demonstrations/surveys are comparedbetween Group1 and Group2 for each topic and discussed to comment on the misconceptionsthat students had and the effect of demonstrations. Their responses on the surveys were alsoexamined using a Bayesian A/B Testing approach to gain further insight into the efficacy of thedemonstrations. The amount of time spent by the technique during class was 10 to 15 minutesfor completing pre-/post-surveys and discussion, and additional 5 minutes for the demonstrationswith discussion.

Classification is intended to encompass “the whole body ofknowledge” and is divided into eight sections: A—Human Necessities; B—PerformingOperations and Transporting; C—Chemistry and Metallurgy; D—Textiles and Paper; E—FixedConstructions; F—Mechanical Engineering and Lighting and Heating and Weapons andBlasting; G—Physics; and H—Electricity. (The CPC added an additional category “Y” forcross-referencing purposes.) These sections are divided into a hierarchical classification systemwhich has further lower levels. When classifying an invention four specific areas of inventionare considered: 1) the invention’s intrinsic nature or function; 2) the invention’s particular use orpurpose; 3) the invention’s application; 4) the incorporation of an invention into

. It was also important that the engineering teamtook this information seriously and used it to formulate the final results.At the conclusion of the semester, the engineering student team gave a presentation for anyinterested staff in the library. The PowerPoint they used included drawings of the currentconfiguration of Technical Services as well as two potential new layouts (see Appendix B). Italso included pictures of new desk and chair options as well as suggestions as to how thefurniture could be configured. The presentation was well-attended and well-received. It gave thestaff an additional opportunity to ask questions and make comments. Following the presentation,the engineering student team sent out a short feedback survey asking for

got to take the quizzes as a group, first off it pushed me to try harder outside of class because I didn’t a.) want to be the kid no one wanted to have as a partner on the quiz b.) want to negatively effect someone else’s grade.Again, this echoes the comments of students in thermodynamics. Just like the students in thermodynamics, many of the students commented on the teamworkskills they developed. I believe taking quizzes in groups has helped me better develop my group work skills, and has taught me how to better work with other students. … it was also a good way to get to know some of the other students that I didn’t know as well
