comparing students’ usage of other programming languages to their average exam score, demonstrating a significant difference (p=0.0042).Another trend that was not significant, but was consistent across the exams, was the clustering ofscores in certain majors, with Aerospace Engineering consistently performing well overallrelative to other majors, as seen below in figure 5.Figure 5: Oneway ANOVA comparing students’ major versus their average exam score. Though this pattern occurred across all exams, the average is shown above for reference.Discussion and Future DirectionsUpon first examination, the results in figures 1-4 seem paradoxical, as it might be assumed thatexperience in more than one programming language would lead to

Additionally, wegathered GPA information, but note that a majority of the participants had a GPA above 3.0 on a4.0 scale with an average of 3.7, making it difficult to make any significant claim aboutprogramming skill level based on grades. Participants were also required to have a minimum ofone semester of programming experience in Python, C or C++.Using the prior programming knowledge assessment we classified each participant with a self-estimated skill level (SE-Skill) as either Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced in the context ofintroductory programming concepts. After collecting the participant data we used a case studyapproach to understand the initial characterization of Design Cohesion using an

assessment is conducted involving the students.III. VLE BASED LEARNINGSeveral VLEs have been created and used as part of engineering courses targeting senior andgraduate students from computer science, industrial, mechanical and aerospace engineeringprograms. These VLEs have been used in a graduate level course (which is also a senior levelelective) titled Introduction to Cyber Physical Systems course at Oklahoma State University(OSU). Two of the VLE based modules introduced students to the design of micro assembly workcells as well as assembly planning techniques using Genetic Algorithm (GA) based concepts. Inthis paper, we discuss the learning process and the assessment outcomes related to the functioningof the GA operators (cross over

Cognitive InterviewsWe recruited undergraduate engineering students to complete the survey while being asked toelaborate on their thinking verbally to ensure the intention and reception of the questions aligned.This specific process is often called a cognitive interview, which is a crucial step in improving thevalidity and reliability of the instrument’s results while the items are being developed [39].Our sample of students for the cognitive interviews (n = 11) contained a variety of engineeringdisciplines, including aerospace (1), chemical (1), computer science (4), electrical (3

These interviews,conducted in the Fall of 2023, had two primary objectives: • To identify the specific programming knowledge and skills that engineering faculty deemed essential for their students to succeed in both their courses and future professional practice, and • To gather input from CS faculty on the key components and best practices for designing and delivering a robust CS1 introductory programming course.We interviewed 10 faculty members from four engineering programs: Civil Engineering (CE),Aerospace Engineering (AE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), and Bioengineering (BioE). Table 1highlights their key insights, which were derived by identifying recurring themes. Programs Expectations
