this paper are available forother schools that would like to use and/or modify for their own purposes.[1]IntroductionAdministrative tasks like scheduling require substantial work doing iterations of menialtabulations, analysis, and revision. Most colleges and universities have software that helps withthese tasks, but it is not well suited to a technical curriculum with extensive prerequisites,laboratory/equipment/software constraints, and faculty availability. The result is a lot of manualprocessing of spreadsheets and timetables.At Western Carolina University (WCU) there are five residential undergraduate programs thatshare a number of courses. In addition, there are two undergraduate programs that are offeredoff-campus and a residential and

reflect on their learnings with the aim of improving theirprogramming skills and the quality of their programs.Introductory programming courses have historically high attrition rates because often studentsare not sufficiently and dynamically engaged with programming tasks. In fact, failure rates of 30to 50% have been reported in literature [1]. Beginners frequently feel frustrated and disenchantedwith the subject since the challenges of learning programming appear to be too overwhelming toovercome. While laboratory components of these courses help students with getting feedbackand encouragement in the face of programming challenges, practice and motivation beyond thelab environment remain uncertain. Therefore, it is necessary to explore

information technology tools. Without a laboratory section for the course, the designresults are verified using simulations, for example using MATLAB, MATHCAD or otheravailable programs. It is very important that students first go through problems usingpaper/pencil, back of envelope calculations, with use of calculator before they attemptsimulations, obtaining graphical results from available computing information technology tools.4. CONCLUSIONS. In this paper we have shown how computer information technology (CIT)are used at the right time, right place in an example science and engineering course. Students areencouraged to use paper and pencil, calculator to solve a given problem and do simplecalculation (“back of envelope”) before using software

Here one may want toquote the famous phrase: Practice Makes You Perfect. This last, final group prefers to learnthrough experience. It is like performing a Ballet, or playing a Piano or building a modelbridge, etc. It could also be laboratory experience, clinical experience, simulation, case studies,co-op experience, industrial internship experience, service-learning experience, practical trainingexperience, etc. This perceptual mode is referred to as Kinesthetic mode.Additional Resources In addition to the above mentioned ideas, the author has

It furnishes an alternative route for green energy withrenewed design emphasis on semi-conductor technology instead of traditional analogmechanization. Finally, the results of the survey analyzing this learning methodology will also bediscussed. This will go a long way in motivating engineering technology students to conductpotential future research, and reinforcing the best practices for life-long learning.BackgroundEngineering departments are often confronted with the necessity to update laboratory exercisesand equipment with the latest emerging technological trends within tight budget constraints.Another

setting [7]. A kernel tracing tool has beenused in explaining the concepts in the GNU/Linux Operating System. The target is not really anRTOS, however, the method reveals that understanding the internal mechanism is the key tounderstand any operating system [8]. A focus on the networking aspect of the RTOS kernel wasexplained by teaching the CAN bus. The emphasis was to make clear the networking part of theRTOS [9]. Laboratories were developed for teaching RTOS. For example, a virtual machineenvironment was introduced to reduce the setup time [10]. A commercial grade open sourceRTOS, FreeRTOS, was taught to show the deployment of RTOS. The emphasis was on using theFreeRTOS but not designing an RTOS [11]. The approach in [11] is a “top-down

isachievable with a bachelor’s degree is fueling student interest in computer science as a major.Students are highly motivated to learn as they enter their first programming course, CS1 [2]. Yet,the pass rate for CS1 courses has been reported to be as low as 67% [3]. Many possible reasonsfor high attrition have been proposed ranging from inadequate advising to poorly-designedactivities in CS1 laboratories to insufficient opportunities for meaningful practice with formativefeedback [4]. Increased student engagement in introductory programming courses may be oneroute to increasing retention in CS1 courses.Collaboration, gamification, and social interaction are considered to be three pedagogicalstrategies which aid in engaging students in learning

Some options include propensity for exploration,relevance to the topic, importance to the topic, question complexity, or level of student interest.The criteria selected by the instructor should be related to the desired purpose for which thequestions will be used. Some options for the purpose of the generated questions include aresearch paper, design project introduction, laboratory hook, or topic motivation [13].3.
