to modern problem solving andprogramming methods using C. Students use appropriate tools and discuss ethical issues arisingfrom the impact of computing upon society. Topics in this course include Unix; representation ofinteger, floating point, and character data; declarations; loops and conditionals; functions andparameter passing; searching and sorting; structured data types; and pointers. The students usedIaaS to implement one of the three programming assignments during the course.The learning objectives for this class are as follows: 1. To demonstrate understanding of the basic problem solving process of implementing a computer program to solve a problem. 2. To write and run simple computer programs using C 3. To appreciate

For example, and AM signal is demodulated simply by takingGiven the sampling rate of the soundcard and the types of waveforms we are converting, thesoftware must process each digital sample within about 250 mS.3. PedagogyThe CS department has a two-semester senior project course track. The first semester, a one-credit Page 14.895.4course is given that emphasizes design (particularly user interface analysis and testability), projectplanning, specification, and the ethical implications of the students

expected. However, the workloads were judged to be heavy as the studentswere required to not only become familiar with the idea of a real-time operating system, but werealso being asked (some for the first time) to implement a complex hardware system on a shorttimetable. The students during this term dealt with high stress levels as they moved deeper intothe material. For some students, the high stress situations led to a stronger work ethic and anincreased sense of team responsibility. For others, it deepened the divide between members oftheir team who seemed more ahead of the curve and members who seemed to be lagging behindor not pulling their weight. This had an obvious impact on the final product that was eventuallydelivered. During

Both courses have a team project that accounts to approximately 50% of the total coursegrade.Next, we describe the samples used to test the hypotheses.Control group: baseline data collection using the same courses and projects as the treatmentwithout using the collaboration platformUndergraduate n=40, Graduate n=24Treatment group: students enrolled in the same selected courses participating in the same type ofprojects without using the collaboration platformUndergraduate n=33, Graduate n=40We analyzed the impact of the
students to theengineering design process while teaching them fundamentals related to problem solving,communication, teamwork, ethics, etc. The first course in the sequence focuses on problemsolving using tools such as Excel, MATLAB, and C/C++. Additionally, students participate indifferent labs each week, each of which highlights a different discipline of engineering givingstudents a place to work in a hands-on environment. Following the labs, students completeabstracts, lab memos, or lab reports on the content of the labs in order to enhance their technicalwriting skills. Some of these assignments are done individually to give students an opportunity
, political, ethical, health and safety,manufacturability, and sustainabilityTo assess the effectiveness of this work, we will focus on the following outcome: 1. Students are able to successfully complete a design project that uses DSP to meet realistic constraints.The following analysis shows that most projects in the past five years that should have used DSPto meet realistic constraints were either avoided, did not meet the constraints, or were notsuccessfully completed. Data was compiled from the senior projects for the last five years(2011-2015).Out of a total of 84 projects, 18 (21%) should have used DSP to meet realistic constraints. As anaside to the main focus of this work, this small percentage may indicate that students

MATLAB instruction as part of the EGN 1002:Introduction to Engineering course.If adopting the second solution and keeping the MATLAB instruction as part of EML 4920,possible improvements over the 2004-2005 format would be:(a) to alternate a week of MATLAB instruction with a week of Engineering Ethics or moretraditional content (this would keep the workload more uniform during the semester)(b) to organize the class as an introduction to programming class, with syntax examples inMATLAB.As long as the weight of the MATLAB grade is well described in the syllabus, the teamteaching format of the class was not a problem. In fact, this format can allow a suitable Ph.D.candidate or post-doctoral associate to obtain teaching experience under the

example, a laboratory on controls typicallyrequires sophisticated and expensive machinery, precise sensing equipment, and computingresources. Simulating these mechanisms in Processing vastly decreases the cost of equipment(students can perform the laboratory assignment on their home computers) and increases thepossibilities for exploration, as the system under control can be perturbed by forces of arbitrarycomplexity, extensive and sophisticated instrumentation is possible, and there exists nomachinery to maintain, wear out or break, removing many stumbling blocks from the laboratoryexperience.As the educational field should adopt the “First, do no harm” principle from medical ethics, anydemonstration or simulation should not mislead the student

toannually draw 100 talented high school sophomore students to the university for an intensiveexamination of unanswered questions and unresolved challenges. Among the areas that areprobed include: world hunger, plants and people, knights and cowboys, drama, ethics andsociety, communicating with computers, understanding cultural development, pharmacy,fundamentals of computer design and programming, and the links between life and the arts. Thegoal is not to require students to learn another body of knowledge and pass yet another test. It is,rather to challenge imaginations, focus diverse disciplines on specific issues or problems, andintegrate various individual talents into a larger perspective. In the process it is hoped that theselected high school
exercise their thinking. Depending on the focus of the questions, thestudents may be more motivated to investigate the subject matter, may gain a deeperunderstanding of course concepts, or may improve their skills through hands-on experience usingthe knowledge in problem solving and design derived from the exercises. There are many waysof using class exercises in the classroom setting. For a small class size, the teacher may simplyuse an exercise to engage students in discussion and hands-on practice. For larger classes, thestudents can be assigned to small groups using the class exercise as an instrument leading togroup projects. Woods and Howard [8] effectively used class exercises for InformationTechnology students to study ethical issues. Day

Thus this work corroborates the decision to implementtools to gauge student interest and list skill sets for better team formation.Faculty at the Franklin W.

Their overall process of teambuilding and formation is very similar to the process followed in this work. They take intoaccount not just student preferences for projects on a 5 scale rating, but also use GPA as ameasure of work ethic, while the authors also use the students skill set.
