calculatedfor nominal data (i.e., data that can be sorted into categories that are not in any meaningful order.) As part of our group’s ongoing work, we are interested in capturing and studying the time-resolved processes of engineering writers using screen-capture data collected over hours ofauthentic writing practice. The overarching motivation for the project is to capture similarities anddifferences in the enacted writing patterns of engineering writers to elicit heuristics and usefulwriting strategies that can augment engineering students’ writing strategies in overcomingprocrastination, writer’s block, and writing anxiety, which are known to plague engineeringstudents [5]. Data for this project were collected in one semester from three

mindset (EM). Although EM has increasingly becoming a commonlyused term to describe the developmental goals of entrepreneurship education forundergraduate engineering programs, the conceptualization of the EM is still broad andvaried. This is primarily because entrepreneurship education in engineering has utilized awide variety of approaches such as standalone seminars introducing practicingentrepreneurs; project-based courses exposing students to the opportunity identificationand customer discovery aspects of entrepreneurship; or student accelerators/incubatorsand other co-curricular programming for fostering student ventures [14], [15]. 2In other words

Afew faculty members involved in these projects attended a week-long summer institute from theuniversity’s teaching and learning center (called “eLearning”) which discussed best practices invideo design. As a result, the videos created for the two grants were short and modular, withmost videos being less than 10 minutes in length and covering a single topic or example; shortvideos are generally preferred by students [9], [10], [11]. The videos were initially uploaded to alocal university server and links were made available to other mechanical engineering instructorswho had the option of sharing the links with

This promotes a crispness inrequirements formulation and fosters singularity and precision.Figure 9: VerificationThe author found that despite providing quality check tables (that contained elements thatviolated a style guide rule), some students had difficulties in using them to improve modelquality. The introduction of an on-demand validation suite (See Table 1) significantly improvedproject quality (no projects have been submitted with violations since its introduction). It allowsthe codification of the quality checks and when the validation engine processes the rules,violating elements are identified within the model. It is relatively simple for modelers to thencorrect the issues (receiving satisfying feedback

Our goal is to provide the reader with an overview of the deliverable and findings that resulted from three collaborative National Science Foundation (NSF) awards from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program; #1504634, #1502564, and #1503834. The so-called EvoParsons project (http://cereal.usf.edu/EvoParsons) resulted in a proof of concept educational software aimed at novice programmers. It applies coevolutionary computations theories and advances to both design Parsons puzzles for students, and enable a dimension based analysis

interaction of assessment withlearning and teaching. As an integral part, assessment provides an opportunity for teachers and students alike toidentify areas of understanding and misunderstanding. With this knowledge, students andteachers can build on the understanding and seek to transform misunderstanding into significantlearning (N.R.C., 1993). Assessment as ‘learning’ is not a third-party research project orsomeone's questionnaire; it must be viewed as a community effort or nothing, driven by afaculty's own commitment to reflect, judge, and improve (Narayanan, 2007 & 2009). The author has tried to follow such a philosophy while gathering data for this project. Inthis presentation the author provides some guidelines for

The challenges of designing anintroductory computing sequence that accommodates such a diverse population include pacingthe course such that students with little or no experience may succeed while at the same timeproviding learning and growth opportunities to those students that do have experience.Historically the rate of students
