Game developmentaims to provide students with a deeper understanding and appreciation for programming via amotivating application. Game development is also used in many camps [12], workshops [13], oroutreach programs [14][15] for younger students. Using game development in education canhave many purposes. One purpose is to motivate or engage students. Cliburn and Miller [11]show this when they allowed their students to choose a final project (a game, a “choose your

As statis-tician George Box famously quipped, “Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful.”?This is an unsettling concept for undergraduates, who are most often encouraged to seek a sin-gle ‘right’ answer (i.e. the one found in the back of textbooks). However, students of the finiteelement method have no choice but to consider the impacts of their modeling choices includingboundary conditions, element type, mesh size, etc. A semester project was assigned to get studentsto consider these effects.The semester project required students to develop a set of models for an engineered system oftheir choice.

Auburn University’s department ofComputer Science and Software Engineering started computer clubs in the elementary schools atthe 3rd, 4th and 5th grade levels.
