End-of-Course Surveys consistently show that the studentsenjoyed the weekly hands-on labs. After the third class offering, an additional survey of studentexperience with the new technologies was conducted. The results reflected a positive studentexperience with the course delivery.During the third offering (2016 Fall Quarter), a survey was conducted with five students fromEE110 and four students from an Advanced Circuit Analysis course (EE 341) to assess theteaching effectiveness thus far.

student.Each class began with the same two-stage reading quiz as was done in Fall 2014 semester(described above). The second activity, team development, required approximately five minutesand consisted of two questions for team discussion. The first question was an icebreaker,designed to be easy to answer and help the teams engage in conversation. The second questionwas designed to focus on team function and cause reflection on attributes of a team. A sample ofquestions used for each question type is provided in Table 1. After approximately four minutesof team discussion, the instructor asked a subset of the teams to quickly report to the class arepresentative answer to each question, and occasionally followed up with a brief discussion onthe

Informal environments can be particularly important in this endeavor (The exhibit chosen for app development is of interest to the team); (4) Learning experiences are shaped by their cultural-historical backgrounds.

In one of the Modules, for example, students were askedto record a slow motion video (using a phone app) of a falling tennis ball. Then, the groups wereasked to use data from the slow motion video to plot position vs time for the tennis ball in biggraphing posters placed on the walls around the room (Figure 6). After students had developedthe plots, we regrouped and started a reflective discussion. Students were posed with questionssuch as: can we determine if the
