to the tools listed in Table 1) received by in-serviceteachers.The major purpose of the Noyce program was to recruit pre-service science and mathematics teachers andimprove their computational and pedagogical skills. So far, as shown in Table 9, the Noyce program hasenrolled 16 interns (undergraduate students who have demonstrated some interest in teaching as a career)and 43 scholars (undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the college’s teaching certificationprogram). Cumulative demographics for all cohorts (I through IV) indicate a distribution of 55% femaleand 45% male students. The interns have no obligations for the summer support they get other than takinga CMST course (e.g., CPS 101) afterward but the scholars are required to

Page 12.595.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2007 Embedded Software Design Methodology to Help Students Succeed in the Real WorldIntroduction: A Tool for Entering the Workforce with ExperienceIn the good old days, new engineers could look forward to a long and rewarding career,working for a well-established engineering firm. They would typically spend their firstyear of employment “learning the ropes” from older, more-experienced engineers.During this apprenticeship, they would pick up the tips, tricks and

writing flexible programs (or “functions” or“scripts”). Many seem much more comfortable using software to solve what they tend to viewas separate, standalone problems. When they move from one problem to the next, many seem toview it as a time to start over from scratch. Of course, the students in the course are mechanicaland civil engineers, and not students who are preparing for a computer programming career.However, it seems for them to be efficient in their careers, they need to consider methods forautomating tasks when appropriate. It is hoped that the experience with this project will benefitsome students by prompting them to think about how to automate repetitive tasks
