Although, theentire activity from start to finish is carefully monitored by the instructor with continuous feedbackand grading of team-performance, independent team work and individual responsibility are alsoemphasized. This activity can be replicated in other CGT courses as well other disciplines. The resultssuggest that it can be an effective means to strengthen CG course pedagogy. This approach willfacilitate assessment of tactile learning methods in CGT course curriculum and help with a continuous‘Course Improvement Plan’. Ultimately this

We provide an overview of our coursestructure, course modules, learning objectives, and few case studies which stress ethical thinkingthroughout the process of app design and development. Our goal was to expand the currentrepertoire of in situ learning activities that require ethical judgment and to integrate thosepractices into their development process. Even though we have not taken any feedback, mainly,if students perceived the notion of socially conscious computing from the perspective of mobileapp development, we found

science instructors make use of pedagogical strategies thathelp students improve their understanding of programming concepts and become betterprogrammers. One such tool that implements these strategies through a cyber-learning platformthat incorporates an array of learning engagement strategies (e.g., collaboration, socialnetworking, gamification), is SEP-CyLE.SEP-CyLE attempts to overcome these technical and retention issues in three main ways. First, itbreaks large concepts like software programming and testing concepts into smaller learningobjects providing a less overwhelming experience for students. Second, integrated learning andengagement strategies show that software testing and other foundational programming conceptsare relevant. Finally

This system includes the integration of student-built AC motors, DC motors, and data acquisition systems that students use to discernquantifiable results for their windmill, such as efficiencies, power output, and windmill speed –accomplished via the construction of a tachometer, which the students design and build.The first implementation of this course was in Spring 2017, in which the programming aspects ofthe Cornerstone Project were executed

The dongle is a Bluetooth 4.0 LE + EDR to plug into a USB port; thisis needed if the computer does not have built in Bluetooth.This system can be used to facilitate CG instruction through interactive learning exercisesand active learning in Engineering and Technology curriculum.

Each lab includes ways of tuning the complexity and difficulty of each activity,depending on the students being taught and the lesson time frame. We focused heavily on creating 3labs that could be easily integrated into current curriculum and supplement existing lesson plans. Thismakes teaching Computer Science principles less demanding and much more attainable. Participants were more engaged when labs started slow and worked up incrementally to more com-plex ideas.

To begin to place roughness into someappropriate context, the descriptor of “Specialist” or “Specialized” are used. These descriptorswould indicate that the given student has very strong talents in a few specific skills at theexpense of proficiency in other skills. Figure 3B represents the student with the largest averagecircular radius value, which means that that student has the highest level of average proficiencyacross all skill tag questions compared to the class. Though this student does not represent thelowest roughness value, when compared to others this student can be considered fairly “well-rounded”. A well-rounded profile may be likened to an

As a result, the static information is unable to operate optimally in newenvironments, because the system is unable to adapt uniquely to each students’ learning behaviorsand teachers’ input. Thus, to overcome this issue, the DIME system integrates modern machinelearning techniques, which allow the graphical display of information to adapt automatically basedon external and internal feedback.The way the DIME system responds to these two types of feedback differentiates it from previoussystems. Internal feedback refers to the students’ physical interaction with the DIME map, such asclicking

programming languages like Haskelland Ada. The complexity of hardware descriptions coupled with HDL similarities to sequentialprogramming languages has led the authors to propose the idea of introducing LP into HDLeducation. Using LP to improve HDL education has not been widely investigated. One earlyattempt involved an approach very similar to Knuth’s WEB approach [18][19] using a Prologlogic program to generate a human-readable form and a Verilog HDL file. The main thrust ofthis effort was to capture the formal operational semantics of the description and animate thebehavior of parallelisms. The approach taken in [18] and [19] will clearly suffer from the failingsof Knuth’s efforts with regard to a maintainability, tool-chain integration, and user
