Therequirements for students to maintain their NSF scholarship were continuousenrollment in courses leading toward a STEM degree, 3.0 GPA, and activeparticipation in the one-credit course associated with the scholarship eachsemester. The course was used to enable more one-on-one interactions betweenstudents and faculty as well as with their teammates from different disciplines.Interacting with faculty, whether in the classroom, the
tRAT is keyto help students to correct misconceptions in real time, and the points-scale gives the studentsmotivation to learn to work together effectively as a team without instructor input. After allteams have completed the tRAT, the instructor can give a short—typically 5 to 10 minutes—lecture clearing up any remaining confusion about the topic. Students are given an opportunity tosubmit a written appeal, as a team, of any RAT question they believe might be ambiguous. Anexample of a RAT is given in the appendix.The applications–on which the most time is spent in class–are problems that the students mustsolve as a team. The applications follow a 4-S format: Same problem, Significant problem,Specific choice, and Simultaneous report. A class

andlearning center. There are two ways to approach this overlap. The first is to make the ASEEprogramming unique. On large campuses, some Chapters have found success in providingSTEM-specific content as a supplement to the campus-level content for all majors. The secondapproach is to partner with other organization(s). This approach has extra benefits; it exposesASEE and its mission to the members of other organizations and it can provide extra assistancefor planning and execution. For research-specific programming, some campuses have foundsuccess with ASEE-hosted STEM education poster sessions. While almost 90% of therespondents reported having some campus-level teaching programming, at least 65% reportedthat they are interested in ASEE providing
toolsthat are being developed to achieve project objectives, the work related to the development ofcase studies is described here. Historically, case studies have been as educational tools inbusiness, law and medicine but not so much in software engineering. The hypothesis is that casestudies would be effective educational tools to introduce real-world professional practices intothe classroom which would help the students in identifying and solving problems, and develop aperspective on knowledge application. In this paper we describe a set of V&V related case-studies that we have drawn from industry experiences and developed them as pedagogical tools.These case-studies cover several important topics in S/W V&V domain such as software

PCC scientists constructed the devices and evaluated the biological inputs/outputs in the system (picked biological seeds, plate counted bacteria, conducted DNA sequencing). Similar experimental set-ups were operated at both institutions. Cal Poly Pomona engineers provided support with system operation and water sample analysis. Student interaction was achieved by using: (a) Initial in-person two-hour meetings. Every semester, to break the ice and engage PCC and Cal Poly Pomona students with the collaborative work, initial meetings were hosted at Cal Poly Pomona. PCC students and the professor(s) visited the campus and had the opportunity of touring the engineering laboratory facilities. The initial meetings
, the CIT-E community had a deeper understanding of flipping.We understood that flipping is not simply a matter of recording some screencasts for students to watchout of class. Rather, the design of the flipped classroom exercises must be intentional. The SecondAnnual Infrastructure Education Workshop is planned in May 2015 to answer the following questions,and the answers will be reported on the companion poster to this paper. What material in the current course(s) can readily be adapted to out-of-class screencasts? The answer to this question will provide an estimate of how much class time is now freed up for active learning exercises. What are the characteristics of an effective in-class question for the flipped

Selected (B, C, A, D), but not (A, B, D, C). o Follow-up answer was, “Because all the other answers except the answer I choose they put B in the back and B is the driver who should be in the front (sic).” o Instructor’s response was, “You explained correctly what you did, but you got part of Q1 wrong.

The Model B Raspberry Pi has twicethe SDRAM, an additional USB 2.0 port (both of which are moved to an integrated 3-port USBhub,) and a 10/100 MBit/s Ethernet USB adapter which takes up one of these ports on the hub;the tradeoff is that the Model B takes 3.5W of power as opposed to the 1.5W required by theModel A. Both Models run on a variety of Linux distributions such as Raspbian (a DebianWheezy port) and Pidora (a Fedora port), in addition to other OS such as OpenElec and RISCOS. The official distributions are optimized for the CPU's ARMv6 instruction set and are freelyavailable for download, yet many more are available for download. 5 Nearly all distributions areLinux-based, with the notable exception of Plan 9 developed by Bell Labs

Similarly, although women held 18.4% ofthe B.S degrees and 22% of the Ph.D.'s; only 13% of the faculty was women; of which only8.7% held the rank of full professor.19 Studies have also shown that the gap between male andfemale faculty was narrower in early career and widens significantly by 15 years after theirPh.D.18 Underrepresented minorities, both ethnic and gender based, need to comprise at least15% of academia before they can influence the culture and agenda.7The Computing Research Association for Women (CRA-W) has several mentoring programs forwomen in computer

However, „system analysis‟ approach provides a roadmap to theproblem-solving process, by which the reasoning activity is streamlined and generalized. Thismethod may also be employed to demonstrate to the students how to formulate either wordproblems or a design basis. It also helps the teachers to show to their students how to switchfrom rote memorization to critical thinking.‘System Analysis’ ApproachThe system analysis approach considers the definition of a system as composed of componentswhich interact with each other to produce output(s) based on inputs. The best way to define thebehavior of a system is to define the variables which govern the

and project timeline can be found in Table A.1 in AppendixA.Based on the feedback the course developers received after the course has been offered during2013 Fall session A, weekly units have been reordered for 2013 Fall session B, the details ofwhich can be found in Table A.2 in Appendix A. The main reason for the reordering was tomore evenly distribute the workload over the semester and give students more time to work onthe project. Units with time intensive activities were paired with units that did not require asmuch work. This seemed to have helped students better manage the workload and pace of thecourse.The course developers agreed that for the first half of the course, each unit should contain a fewshort video lectures, discussion(s

opportunity to hear the students’ voice and perceptions on peerfeedback experiences in the course; in that way it is an indicator of how well these assessmentopportunities are being integrated in the course. Brutus et al.30 stated that “one of the mainlimitations of [their] study is that it does not specify what, in the PES [peer evaluation system]experience, underlies the detected effects. Questions remain as to which component(s) ofstudents’ educational experience actually contributed to their increase in confidence withobservation” (p. 28). While previous studies have been able to demonstrate significant effectsthrough repeated uses of peer feedback during team projects, this study aims to explore theunderlying mechanisms that lead to those
