not discuss the case of themicrostrip in the first semester of our sequence, so the students would need to be quite confidentof their experimental and computational methods before tackling it. Thus the students wouldhave an example of validating a computational technique with known cases and the applying it toan unknown case.For the computational work, we decided to use MATLAB since all of the students had taken aprogramming course that included MATLAB at some point in their curriculum. The MATLABlanguage had also been used in prior physics and engineering classes taken by these students.The plan was that students would be given a sample program implementing a relaxation solverfor the coaxial cable geometry with specific inner and outer radii

editor/execution environmentThe ExperimentFirst, we conducted an experiment in order to see if there is any enhancement in learning withCFL. Instead of measuring a long-term effect (e.g., one semester), we decided to measure rathera short-term effect. The reason is that long-term effects are not only difficult to measure, but canalso be easily intervened by many unforeseen factors. Thus, in order to minimize such sideeffects, the study was planned as a very short-term and tightly-controlled experiment. We had two classes of the C programming course, one with 32 students and the other with33, all freshmen, CS majors. None of the students had taken programming courses before. Theywere taught by the same instructor on the same weekdays, but in

Faculty who are either in imbalanced departments or who exist in isolation attheir institutions often find themselves both with leadership and service responsibilitiesconsidered unusual in established programs (e.g., chairing the graduate admission andcurriculum committee, developing departmental policies and bylaws, running major researchcenters, and serving on strategic planning committees). The few senior faculty with expertise inengineering education tend to either be too sought after nationwide or are otherwise engaged tobe able to spend much time with junior faculty. The imbalance makes it difficult to receiveprofessional mentoring from established leaders.In addition to this imbalance, there have

As the first step inthis process, students from the core classes of the minor were asked to complete a survey nearthe beginning and end of the semester to capture their attitudes toward entrepreneurship andinnovation.

As such, it is very importantthat instructors ensure that pedagogical principles drive the use of technology rather than theother way around. Instructors must strive to achieve certain learning standards, regardless of themedium through which they are teaching [11]. Because of this, course planning should take placebefore instructors select the technology and course management system that will be used for thecourse.It is also important to note, that although
