so I did not understand what the code was doing. I learned a little about the topics they were meant to teach about, but that was from reading the lab instructions, not from actually doing the lab.  I found the MyDAQ mostly uninterested because I don't really plan on using anything like that in my discipline of engineering. I felt as though it was geared more towards electrical engineers and computer science/engineering majors.  I didn't really like using a breadboard to make a circuit. Part of that was due to my limited understanding of circuits and how breadboards work.  The hardware labs were difficult because they required teamwork which is hard to do with code. The number of hardware

lot outof it.6. Reflective discussionWe think the project could be further improved from several aspects. • The battery provided to the students were several years old, and some of them did not hold a charge well. As a result, the battery caused the Raspberry Pi and the ultrasonic sensors to behave erratically. One team actually did not do well in the Bocce game, due to a battery issue discovered right before the competition. In the future, we plan to provide new batteries to the students. It may also be a good idea to use a dedicated battery to power the Raspberry Pi. • Although the project stimulated student enthusiasm through the competition and has practical implications, we did not encourage the

is an interesting result of several reasonable decisions during the video creation, andwill be kept in mind for future recorded lectures. Additionally, a possible solution to this problemwould be to provide outlined notes that would help students who would like to stay engaged bywriting things down while maintaining the pace of the videos.Student feedback indicated a positive opinion of in-class activities as opposed to video lectures, asreported in previous studies [3], but it is not possible in this paper to separate the effects of one orthe other. In fact, the planned in-class problem-based activities would not be possible without thepre-recorded video lectures.ConclusionsResults from this study indicate that this initial implementation

Seeing this as an opportunity toimprove our teaching and the educational achievement of all our students, we developed aninitial research plan with the following hypothesis: • Given our specific instructional methods, the difference in the learning processes of the two groups of students is due, at least in part, to their different national origins, educational experience, expectations, outlook, etc. (loosely referred to as “culture”), and not only due to their age or other differences. • We should use the theory of preconceptions in education to obtain an initial

student groups were never profitable but were able to reduce their losses significantly inthe second round. In the second round, it was observed that many of the students had learned thevalue of planning, forecasting, and managing risk when determining the size and source ofinventory replenishment orders. To this end, they applied logic and math in an effort to improvetheir decision-making. For example, one team purchased their entire inventory from California inthe first round, which helped them reduce their total material cost. However, the late arrival ofthe shipment in the third week prevented them from satisfying customer demand in weeks oneand two. As a result, at the end of the week five, the team was left with a large amount of

Students learn by proposing and immediately testing hypotheses. They get out of the classroom and talk to customers, partners and competitors and encounter the chaos and uncertainty of commercializing innovations and creating new ventures…students will do, rather than plan to do. Unlike many approaches to entrepreneurship education, Lean LaunchPad® does not rely on static case studies or fixed models; it challenges students to create their

These institutions have more planning, support, and aid available for theirstudents [9].One of the responses to the lack of state funding is to increase tuition. For universities, this is oneof the methods in which the gap between costs and funding are covered. However, one of theconcerns with this is that when the economy is performing poorly, universities typically receivelower funding. The increase in tuition is generally concurrent with an increase in unemployment.Many of these unemployed employees enroll into higher education institutions [3]. The

Our thoughts: ● Majors will learn to write larger programs in CS 2. ● Non-majors, if they need to program in their careers, are more likely to have to write programs similar to the MSPs, like writing a small add-on function for a statistical analysis tool, for google docs, for a database query, etc. If they need to write more substantial programs, they will probably take a CS 2 class (or more). ● With the above said, we note that we intentionally ran the experiment in a more “extreme” manner, to see what effect would occur.
