We observed the students’ progress and found thaton average students can program similar projects 80% faster after learning and using the twosoftware engineering concepts. 1. Introduction Introductory software programing is an important first-year course that brings students to thedoor step of the CS major, which we consider as a CS1 course based on the definition given in[1]. It is also a requisite course for many students majored in Science, Technology, Engineeringand Math (STEM). The majority of the curriculum of this course is to teach a specificprograming language without any introductory concepts of

The three courses consist of anintroduction to engineering course called Engineering Foundations and a two-course sequencecalled Engineering Models I and II, which introduces students to MATLAB® as a computing toolfor solving engineering problems. All three courses are required for all engineering andengineering technology majors, are 2 credit hours, and meet once a week for lecture (55 minutes)and once

programs, a critical first step is to understand the entrepreneurialinterests and characteristics of undergraduate engineering students as compared with studentsmajoring in business. Comparing these two groups of students suggests some of the ways thatbusiness-based courses might be modified for an engineering audience. In addition, someentrepreneurship programs are designed to service engineering and business majors;understanding how these students compare in terms of entrepreneurial interests andcharacteristics would allow for a better designed course for both groups of students. Nabi et al.have reported that business students showed higher entrepreneurial intent than did engineeringand technology students, based on their survey of undergraduate

problem is solved. It is acomplex process that depends on and influences students’ understanding about themselves asthinkers and learners, and usually precedes and follows cognitive activity. Butler found that astudent’s understanding of a learning activity is grounded in productive metacognition abouttasks associated with students’ thoughtful planning, self-monitoring, and selection of appropriatestrategies to accomplish task objectives [1]. Metacognitive skill plays a particularly critical rolein real-life or open-ended tasks, such as solving ill-structured design problems.Metacognition is critical to the self-evaluation of one’s knowledge and abilities [2], which isessential in mathematics [3, 4], science [5, 6], technology [7, 8], engineering

Indeveloping their version of a cornerstone course at McMaster University, it was noted, “Theobjective of the Cornerstone is to instill in first-year engineers enjoyment from learning,motivation to continue learning, and genuine intellectual curiosity about the engineering in theworld around them.” 1 And, from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, “The purpose ofcornerstone projects is to

The state of Washington ranks firstnationally in its concentration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)jobs, but between 2012 and 2017 approximately 30,000 jobs in Washington will go unfilled dueto the lack of qualified STEM candidates3. To help fill this deficit of qualified employees andnarrow the income achievement gap, the Washington STate Academic RedShirt (STARS) inEngineering Program was conceived to increase the number of engineering and computer sciencegraduates from the University of Washington and Washington State University.“Redshirt” programs are common in athletics; in these programs, an athlete is given a year toprepare to compete in athletics at the
