developersmust be well-trained in software testing to plan and carry out effective software testing activities.To achieve a better trained workforce in the area of software testing, curricula at academicinstitutions need to be integrated with software validation techniques, including software testing. The problem of integrating software testing concepts and related techniques into programmingand software engineering (SE) courses is still an open research problem. Over the past decade, therehave been many investigations, specifically by members of both academic community and softwareindustry, into ways to integrate software testing into computer science (CS) and SE curricula. Forexample, several approaches attempted to integrate testing concepts into

As we begin to look at student performance, we are utilizing McGill and Volet’sconceptual framework for analyzing student programs and diagnosing deficiencies [20]. Thisframework links three types of programming knowledge (syntactic, conceptual, and strategic)with the view of knowledge from cognitive psychology (declarative, procedural, andconditional). We believe using this framework to link our qualitative codebook withprogramming knowledge will allow us to further evaluate students’ thinking processes and thechanges in programming knowledge over time.

The method proposes that, at a planning stage, decomposing complex solid modelsinto segments and sketching each segment isometrically helps students learn the extrusion opera-tion concept of CAD software, as well as Boolean operations. The feedback from students showsbreaking down complex solids into segments helps students understand solid modeling principlesand such principles will be helpful in the use of other CAD software. However, there are few ITSsthat are developed to teach students solid modeling skills. There are also few empirical studies inthe literature

The group met on several occasionsduring the summer and fall of 2008 to explore possible topics for the contest. Eventually thegroup settled on a theme that represented a real area of concern to Council members—the needfor a person with disabilities to obtain food from a refrigerator during an emergency situationwhen a personal assistant is not able to be present. Thus was born the idea of an autonomousrobot that would serve as a server or waiter and a unique contest, RoboWaiter, the

However, notonly are problem-solving activities time consuming for students, they are also often difficult toassess beyond simply checking for correctness of the final answer. In addition, it is difficult in aclassroom setting to deliver useful feedback [1].

This course is based on our initial ideas of howcollective argumentation can be used to teach students how to code. This course was offered topracticing teachers during the 2018 spring semester, and the aim was to determine how theseteachers would use collective argumentation to learn how to code and what lesson plans theywould develop to teach their students how to code.

However during the fall of 2014, it was determined that the summer 2014 implementationof the Raspberry Pi-based system was not easily maintainable or extendable. In order to addressthese concerns a redesign was proposed consisting of three components: 1) refactoring theinstrument parsing code, 2) restructuring the database schema and 3) implementing a REST APIexplained later) to provide a consistent way to access the data.

The sense of visionhas fantastic ability to actively construct every aspect of our visual experience.
