they have installed the student version of Matlab. Many of them have done that. Feedback about the lab from students, including official course evaluations, has been almostuniformly positive, which we attribute largely to the fact that many students consider the Arduinoto be something like state-of-the-art, want to know more about it, and feel that this lab gives themgood exposure to it. Another major factor in student satisfaction is that on the relatively rareoccasions when technical problems do arise, they are fairly easy to understand and to fix. Severalstudents have gone on to use the Arduino in other projects, such as Senior Capstone projects.References[1] D. Wilcher, “Physical Computing and DC Motor Control” in Learn Electronics

morebasic background in math and science, with relatively less emphasis on general engineeringsciences, and more so with extensive technology and design content in accordance with generalnotion that engineering technology students are trained to apply technologies to design in a morehands-on fashion.In light of recommendations from industrial advisory board meetings, the regular curriculumupdates of our university curricula has been constantly revised not for the FE exam, but rather tostay in conformance with TAC of ABET accreditation criteria. Our capstone senior projects andtwo review courses were introduced earlier to train our technology students to analytically applythe theory and practical applications of math, science, and engineering

/database/network courses and capstone project courses. In RPGs,experience points (XP) are used to quantify a player’s (or character’s) progression through thegame. XP can be implemented in different ways. Level-based progression XP are widely applied:Players win enough XP as rewards to reach next higher level 27 . Players in the next level will haveincreased ability. We want to design level-based XP to reflect students’ progress through theircourses. However, we want to avoid associating XP directly with performance-based criteria suchas students’ assignment scores, since this may cause unexpected negative effects. A suite ofindicators that assess students’ progress and effort based on their submissions 8 are a possiblecandidate measure for XP

categories: (1) service consumers, (2) serviceproducers, and (2) service managers. Service consumers utilize the services offered by theCBDM. Service consumers include, for example, students participating in distributed design andmanufacturing projects, researchers/engineers investigating a new design prototypes, orcompanies with geographically distributed manufacturing shops that need to manufacture thecomponents of a new product. Service producers provide human resources in term of intellectualcapital and labor that result in provisioning of useful services. For example, a laboratory assistantor production manager could be a service producer who installs a new set of devices andequipment into the CBDM and integrates these components to form a new

collaborative learning is not directly relevant to our approach since thekinds of activities considered in much of that work, e.g., team projects in capstone design coursesas well as in several of the systems listed above do not, for the most part, involve students in ateam trying to resolve cognitive conflicts. Indeed, students in such teams often go out of their wayto not criticize the ideas offered by other members of the team for fear of offending them. Morerelevant for us is the work on the role of argumentation in learning. But, as Driver et al. [8] putit, “[although] argument is a central feature of the resolution of scientific controversies, scienceteaching has paid . . . little attention to [this] practice . . . It is our contention that

The average time invested in numerical methods was 35% higher than the next highest course. It was twice the average of all other courses. Details are published in Coller Page 14.844.5 & Scott3.• Finding #2: Students taking the game-based numerical methods cours appear to learn the material more deeply than students taking traditional textbook-based numerical methods courses.

The authors state that lectures were created in Camtasia to teach students touse another software product, Microsoft Producer.

, following the completion of each assignmentwill be able to read the summaries of the discussions created by the students in the various groupsand look for common misconceptions which can help tailor the future direction of the course or,possibly, the way the course is taught in future offerings.4. Prototype SystemWe are currently in the process of implementing a prototype version of the PICOLA system. Thisis the design/implementation project in the capstone design course in our Computer Science andEngineering (CSE) program. Thus the students who will work on the prototype are CSE majorswho are in the final semester of their programs. Most of these students have extensive experience inimplementing large scale software systems as part of their
