Preliminary Investigation of Undergraduate Students’ Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) in Writing Lab Reports in Entry-level Engineering Laboratory Courses at Three Universities

“…Engineering educators have studied engineering undergraduates' lab report writing with most study results predominately focused on best practices for supporting lab report instruction in classroom settings [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The best practices include tutoring support and automated feedback, peer evaluations, self-evaluations, and assessment standards, and a web-based writing support system.…”

Estimation of Experimental Errors Using Monte Carlo Analysis in the Introductory Electrical Circuits Laboratory

“…Experimental data often are used to supplement engineering analysis as a basis for design. Lower level engineering students are typically not aware that not all data are equally good and that errors are a part of every engineering experiment [1]. Gross errors and statistical errors comprise the two major groups of experimental error.…”
