In ART, if the candidate traceability linksgenerated by the automated tool do not look promising, the students should learn to revisit theproblem definition or to re-prioritize the requirements (clusters) to be traced. Essentially, thisstrategy is analogous to engineering design, in which constructing and reasoning about a de-sign model, rather than building the full-fledged system, can help assure quality and minimizere-work. Despite the teaching of the shorten-the-feedback-loop principle in most curriculums,students should learn to apply the idea in a more flexible and dynamic way.3. Developing an enriched vocabulary.

regardless of how much of the reading you did.” “The flipped classroom was a great idea that allows college students to be college students. They have the responsibility to be prepared for class which allows the teacher to then build on what they should have already learned or have an idea about, which removes lecturing, something students tend to ignore anyway.” “It was great! The video lectures were a great resource. Wish I had this in every class!” “I felt that the flipped classroom was very helpful and a lot better than taking the class online.”Students also provided some feedback toward improving the flipped classroom and its place inthe curriculum: “I really liked the flipped classroom

Being redmeans obeying the leadership of the Communist Party, unconditionally subscribing tothe communist ideology, and being loyal to all levels of party members and cadres.Under the party rule, the party’s wills were equivalent to the nation’s benefit; hence“red engineers” were considered as patriots. The cultivation of “experts” focused ontraining specialized senior personnel. The excessive emphasis on specializationseparated science education from engineering education; humanities education wasseen even less relevant and largely eliminated from engineering curriculum, exceptfor a few courses in political education.

looming deadlines draw near. In 1989 while at the Software EngineeringInstitute of Carnegie Mellon University, Watts Humphrey introduced the notion of the CapabilityMaturity Model to describe the state that existed in software development organizations. Itincludes the concepts of “levels” of maturity and “key process areas.” Many organizations haveadopted this model now referred to as CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) and usedit to guide their maturation process. It is a framework that allows an appropriate, matureapproach to software development to become part of the organization’s culture.

more upfront planning than does the average lecture-based course. If you are new toPBL design, consider finding someone in your department who has more experience to helporient you to the process. Otherwise, consider seeking assistance from the instructional supportteams offered at your institution or find researchers on your campus who may be involved inPBL research. Timing is important to the success of any PBL experience. It is important to startdeveloping early. Your environments may need at least a semester of planning before they areready to be implemented. Making an effort to streamline the design process can be beneficial asyou seek to add PBL opportunities throughout your course or across the curriculum. Templatescan be an
