Professors at our institution strive very hard tokeep their knowledge up to date and explore new ways of effective and efficient teaching bylearning.Technological advancement in classroom equipment provides an edge to teaching. This bringsflexibility to both teachers and the students. Audio-visual aids like using power point slides, lasertechnology, video clips to emphasize important points, and using WebCT, Wimba are effectivelearning tools with proven impacts. Due to the availability of these technologies, more studentsare able to take courses via online. In our online courses, we made the course curriculum suitablefor online students.

Fourth, we hope that innovative methods used in HGD might attractmore students interested in computer science, art, and entrepreneurism to Michigan Tech.A significant body of research suggests that integrating gaming programming and project-basedlearning into computer science curricula can capture student interest in computer science. For asummary of institutions which have attempted to integrate these ideas into curricula, see.1 Forexample, some2 have found that teams of students working collaboratively on game projects canpositively impact students’ attitudes about computer science, programming

such collaboration is the integration of gaming elements into different disciplines, commonlyknown as gamification. This topic is relatively new in academia - as is awarding university de-grees in computer game design; the discipline of game design has largely been an investigationwithin the discipline itself. Likewise, architecture, though much older as a degree-granting disci-pline, has also used, primarily, conventional architectural projections of orthographic projectionand perspective and, more recently, animation. The underlying argument of this paper is that acollaborative, cross-disciplinary approach to a design and presentation project - specifically, ar-chitecture and game design - has a synergistic value in the “overlap” or common

A large-scale design project requiring tools from many courses improves student problem-solving and design skills.By integrating five semesters of the mechanical engineering curriculum into a cohesive whole,this project has the potential to transform the way undergraduate education is delivered.

Recall that 33 of the 55students voluntarily participated in the retention counseling sessions and the professionalworkshops. These 33 belong to the “Participant” categories shown in Table 3. The other 22comprise the “Non-participant” categories. Furthermore, first-year students who did not placeinto calculus started behind in the curriculum and are in the category “Start Behind”. Second-year students who are behind their cohort by up to two courses are in the “Fall Behind” category.The survey was a formative assessment
