This impacts performance of faculty andoverall college education, and perhaps results in mushrooming of private tuition classes that haveshort term focus and examination orientation. It is estimated that the overall private tuitionmarket’s annual turnover is double than the budget for education in the ongoing five year plan.All this is resulting in stooping down of the estimated employability of graduate engineers toonly 25% 3.Meantime the global demands from engineering

IntroductionThe ability to solve real-world problems and design systems or components under realisticconstraints are essential to engineering and computer science graduates, as both mandated byABET and highly valued in professional practice. To help students develop such valuable skills,project-based learning (PBL) has been considered as a useful pedagogy by many engineering/CSeducators. However, it is also recognized that PBL may not always function if not designed andintegrated in the curriculum appropriately [1-4]. This challenge magnifies at commuter campuseswhere students having difficulty

Some professors give the option ofusing the ebooks, while others do not. Students may or may not know about the availability ofebooks for their courses and this may impact their decision to choose either option.

Although studying human analysts in ART is an emerging research trend, how studentsmight behave differently from software professionals is yet to be investigated. In this paper,we compare the performances, processes, and strategies between students and software pro-fessionals in carrying out ART tasks for an unfamiliar system. We observe that both studentsand professionals performing ART activities generally follow a generic four-phase problemsolving process: define the problem, develop
