reference to thedefinition of bits in timer 2’s control register which is provided in the microcontroller’s datasheet.Cognitive load theory predicts that when these elements are spatially or temporally separated,such as refer- ring to a textbook, a datasheet, and traditional source code, additional extraneousload is imposed to successfully integrate these elements. Because LP encourages including allthese elements as a part of the document, as shown in Figure 2(b), we hypothesize that the use ofliterate programs will reduce extraneous load, thereby improving students’ ability to master theseconcepts, which will lead to higher test scores.We investigated the impact of LP in a digital system design course because modern hardwaredescription languages

This trendseems to continue, currently, 83% of all U.S. institutions that offer online courses say theyexpect an increase in online enrollment in the coming decade. By available facts, figures, andstatistics one can say that online education is here to stay. The combination of the growinginterest in online learning and how it is essentially a necessity nowadays due to the Covid-19pandemic, speaks volumes about its inevitable continuous growth. It is not difficult to visualizea stimulating future for the global online education industry as more

By contrast, a smaller groupof MPC students expressed a higher level of satisfaction with the overall course experienceduring their interview responses. These students appeared to be more self-motivated andpersistent in their determination to master the material, describing their efforts to consultmultiple sources when encountering problems, as well as the satisfaction they derived fromlearning. These students reported that they had learned a tremendous amount from this class andhad completed the course feeling that while the experience had been time-consuming anddifficult, it was also worthwhile.Interviews with the instructor

In general, students found hands-onactivities helpful in understanding the physical meaning behind the mathematical equations andthat the course format was an effective way to learn the material. Incoming confidence levelsmay influence students’ ability to master some course material, especially that directly related toprerequisite material, and further efforts will focus on identifying ways to overcome theseperceived barriers.References1.

Retention strategies are more successfulwhen students feel a sense of community and belonging on a campus and have an overallpositive experience during their time studying at the university. Social interaction can fuel thatsense of belonging and social isolation can reduce the sense of belonging.

This paperpresents student assessment on the social dimensions of engineering as well as their ability tomake a difference in the world, as a consequence of this course.In its inception, the field of engineering was defined by creativity and innovation. Monumentalchanges in human welfare throughout history have been linked to engineering advances, such asthe steam engine in the Industrial Revolution and the proliferation of personal computers in theInformation Age. Yet paradoxically, traditional engineering education has become prescriptive,hammering students with a slew of equations and rules to solve them. While students havebecome masters at solving problems with

For instance, Business Understanding is essential for a student to function in theindustry environment. How do companies operate? What is the role of engineering in acompany? What career paths are available? How would an advanced degree help or hurt mycareer? Is an advanced technical degree or a Masters of Business Administration appropriate?The answers depend on the career aspirations as often engineers become project managers in acompany. Understanding how a company operates will also help when new technologies areintroduced. Recognizing the impact of the technology on the work of the
students perceived that they are ‘on their own,’ they drew onresources outside of the program to supplement this development process. These resources areforms of cultural and social capital, and are associated with students with affluent backgrounds.Thus, these findings beg the question of who can be successful in BME without these specifictypes of capital.BME Way of Doing: You Are ‘On Your Own’ to SpecializeParticipants described a stereotype of BME students as generalists rather than specialists, as theBME curriculum requires coursework in a range of biological subjects as well as engineeringsubjects. Thus, they described an unspoken assumption about how to be successful in BME: toavoid becoming a “jack of all trades, master of none,” you must
