What are student approaches to modeling and problem solving and how do they change over time as students move into upper division courses and use programming and computational tools to model and solve discipline specific problems? Instrumentation: (a) Student surveys assessing attitudes and confidence in specific course outcomes, (b) survey questions about modeling and problem solving, (c) specially developed, common problem solving tasks, (d) student reflections about how they go about solving tasks, and (e) course-related samples of student work. The survey data is being compared to students completing these same or similar surveys in subsequent semesters, to establish trends in self-confidence

Instructors utilized the information gained through real-time formative assessment to tailor instruction to meet student needs. Particularly important wereopportunities to make students’ thinking visible and give them chances to revise, as well asopportunities for “what if” thinking. Attempts to help students reflect on their own processes aslearners were also emphasized3, 6.

Computing?The future CS majors, technology makers, need to realize that the context in which technology isused must be reflected in the technology’s design - because of the ethical implications of its useand because understanding the consequences of such use helps improve the design. This insightwas included in Computing Curricula 1991 [4] and has been a part of CS Accreditation Boardcurriculum standards since 1987 [5, 6]. Thus, the social, ethical, and professional context of thetechnology was added to the core undergraduate curriculum as part of the natural evolution ofthe maturing CS discipline. However, in addition to the traditional computer ethics curriculum,which CS major students usually get exposed to during their coursework, in our

There is opportunity for reflection and peer review of each others’ contributions bystudents. More recently, some authors used wikis to allow users to add, modify, or delete contentusing a standard browser, to create a site that thoroughly explores a topic. But, unfortunately, manyof those studies have not produced as good results as expected. For instance, Cole 13 conducted anexperiment in a course on information systems with 75 students; it was organized so that lectureswere in alternate weeks, the other weeks being intended for students to discover new material andpost to the class wiki.

Tomas and Ritchie claim that integrating authentic science activities into classrooms assiststudents in learning how practicing scientists conduct research24.

This approach allows the validation of the theoretical predictions discussed in class.If we wish to explore the effects of different configurations of precision such as reduced wordlengths for FPGA simulation, or increasing the precision of a portion of the algorithm to 32 bitdata, the simulation tools can easily be reconfigured to reflect the changes, and all the analysistools still apply.The use of simulation tools teaches good habits in system development. Students can developand debug their algorithms in floating point, then simulate the results in fixed point and resolveany precision issues before starting any hardware implementation

The Midterm survey allowed the students to give students a chance to provide feedbackto the instructor on what was and was not working in the class. The Post-Class survey assessedstudents’ perceptions of the course after the fact, as well as soliciting suggestions for changes tofuture courses.The Pre-Class survey questions are listed in the Appendix.

In prior lecture sections I show how the magnification factor curve is – strangely and conveniently – the FFT of the impulse response. We apply this principle in the MDOF module by creating a Simulink model for the 2DOF system and determining the time domain impulse response from a free vibration simulation with an initial velocity at one degree of freedom. The FFT of the results gives the two magnification factors, and the mode shape results are clearly reflected in the frequency domain. The calculated mode shapes are 𝒖𝟏 = [2 1] and 𝒖𝟐 = [1 −1].

We wanted the students to develop problem solvingand self-directed learning abilities while they also remain motivated to learn increasinglychallenging topics. To incorporate experiential learning in our curriculum, each module beginsfrom concrete experience to reflective observation, then to abstract conceptualization to activeexperimentation. In other words, the first stage is where the learner actively experiences anactivity. The second stage is when the learner consciously reflects back on that experience. Thethird stage is where the learner attempts to conceptualize a theory or a model of what is observed.The fourth stage is where the learner is trying to plan how to test a model or

According to Dhulla, Kolb’s ELT “The learning process oftenbegins with a person carrying out an action and seeing the effects of the action; the second step isto understand the effects of the action. The third step is to understand the action, and the last stepis to modify the action given a new situation”19 (p. 111).

engineering education in the United States remains largelyunexplored.A distinctive feature of knowledge building is that it is idea-centered, a characteristic essential ina knowledge age pedagogy. By focusing on ideas rather than schoolwork and tasks, knowledgebuilding supports the intentional, reflective, and metacognitive engagement required for deeplearning. In a knowledge-building environment the focus of the learning community is oncontinually improving ideas. It begins with a question of understanding that is developed by theparticipants, such as, Why do we need water to survive? Learners are encouraged to generate andpost their ideas about the topic--typically in an asynchronous, online group workspace such asprovided by Knowledge Forum
