By some estimates, 41% of informationtechnology budgets in North America are spent on quality assurance and testing. 1 Softwaretesting helps ensure the correctness of the software being developed, and there are several testsuite quality metrics used in industry to ensure that a test suite properly verifies the behavior ofthe software it tests.One widely-used test suite quality metric is code coverage

Agile methodologies hold considerable promise especially forhigher-level classes such as mechanical senior design.Introduction: Student Engagement vs Student OwnershipIn 1987 Chickering and Gamson published their famous “Seven Principles for Good Practice”which codified what many good teachers have always known: a good teacher must engage thestudents in their own learning [1].

Yet, most research universities, as well as quite a few non-research colleges, require at least 1-2 semestersof core undergraduate coursework in theoretical or foundational CS.We summarize some interesting lessons learned from teaching theoretical CS to mostly undergraduate upperclassmen(as well as a few non-traditional students) at two prominent public research universities in the US Pacific Northwest

The first robot cleaner that appeared on the market was Electrolux Trilobite[1], a vacuum system developed by James Dizon and purchased by the appliance manufacturerElectrolux. In 2001, the British technology company Dyson built a vacuuming robot known asDC06 [2]. However, due to the high cost, it was never released on the market.

The goal of this committee is to improve the quality of student learning by consideringnot only course content, but also by considering the quantity and timing of various types of skillbuilding. Technical communication (TC) is one of these common threads. We believe thesequence of instruction related to various forms of technical communication (written, oral, anddrawing skills) should intentionally develop students’ abilities so that by graduation they areprepared for a professional engineering environment.Several research studies have identified the gap between engineering students’ writingexperiences and the expectations of professional writing in the engineering workplace [1], [2

Evidence from aCanadian national survey of engineering graduates indicates that the need for technical writing iswell-understood—most recent engineering graduates who participated in surveys and focusgroups requested that more opportunities for engineering-based writing and presenting, coupledwith in-depth feedback, be provided to future engineering students [1].The implementation of

While later philosophers and educational scholars pushed back againstthe idea that students are little more than passive, empty vessels and that the simple input-outputmodel is representative of learning [1], Locke’s philosophy persists in many disciplines,particularly those that historically involve traditionally rigid ways of thinking and

However, following theidentification of these needs, a filtering process is often employed, wherein external influencessuch as market dynamics, competition, and intellectual property influence the potential for thesuccessful development and commercialization of solutions in these needs area [2].
