Faculty members used this opportunity to makechanges in their curriculum. This was also motivated by demands from industry5, and byrecent recommendations in the European Bologna Process.6 Since the fall of 2000, students atthe Technische Universität Darmstadt have been able to enroll in reformed “Bachelor´s andMaster´s programs” (degrees: Bachelor and Master of Science).The European Bologna ProcessIn 1999 Germany and 38
education, whereby an instructor narratesinformation as if it were a set of static truths, “bestowing” knowledge on learners as if itwere a gift. Learners are thus positioned as passive receivers of the instructor’s greater 3wisdom. A Vygotskian perspective positions learners as active agents who participate intheir social context as they internalize new, culturally-bound ideas. In this view, theprimary role of an instructor is providing appropriate assistance to help the learneraccomplish a new skill or task that they have not yet mastered but that lies within therange of their developmentally determined capabilities (Vygotsky, 1978). While Vygotsky

Sensors were connected to Arduino Uno boards (slavemodules, effectively turning a conventional sensor into a smart sensor). Slaves could beplugged into the master developed on the Arduino Yun, that in turn communicated with theserver through which the remote user could design or execute the laboratory activity. Theresult allowed educators to quickly develop low cost remote laboratories. There wereidentified drawbacks, however, such as the requirement for a continuous power supply,physical connection to the internet which limits where sensors can be used, the developmentrequired in

The students would routinely complain about Verilog in theirevaluations and their frustration with HDLs would often lead them to becoming disinterested intaking additional computer engineering courses or going so far as to leave the major entirely. The new iteration of the course covers many of the same topics as the previous iteration of thecourse including binary arithmetic, logic gates, combinational structures, (multiplexers, decoders,etc.), storage elements (flip-flops and latches), and finite state machines. However, the studentsfirst few lab assignments are done in schematic capture, which is a visual design tool that uses thesame gates and components the students see in class.

Based on thedrawbacks previously described, we define the following general question to conduct ourresearch: How do students perceive the incorporation of HCI as content in an advanced SEcourse?The modified course is aimed at students from the Master of Science in Computer Science atthe UNAB. The main objective of this innovation was to provide advanced knowledge of theSE (analysis, design and formal development of an interactive software, using HCI methods)through PBL. Data was collected through personal interviews, academic records, and coursedocuments. The interviews, based on a survey

Many students in programming courses have difficulties mastering requiredcompetencies and skills. At an introductory level, this problem is considerably more pronounced.Students often view programming courses as hard, relatively unmanageable work. Regardless ofstudent perceptions about learning programming, the outcomes are often disappointing. Manyinstitutes
