Description
Summary:This report evaluates the use of active, open-ended research problems taken from the instructor's laboratory and assigned as mid-semester projects in Transport Phenomena. Projects are structured in a POGIL [process oriented guided inquiry learning] format and designed to engage students by providing them the opportunity to impact real research problems in their department. The impact of these assignments on student comprehension and engagement is evaluated by comparing exam performance of students with and without POGIL projects and through student surveys.
