exam possesses a major benefit over using the actualcertification exam in that, for the actual exam, only the final score is given; no information isavailable as to what questions were missed. In a classroom-administered mock exam, theinstructor has full access to all exams, and so can categorize all problems into their appropriateobjective areas. Following the grading of the exams, the individual problem scores can becollectively analyzed and the performance in each objective area evaluated; this allows fortargeted action plans to be implemented if poor performance is noted in a specific objective,thereby improving the curriculum.IV.

acceleration, to computer science algorithms that can havedifferent complexities and speeds.When building instructional material for STEM courses, a professor, even when not aware of theprocess (see Figure 1 to compare educational model and software development model), is usuallyfollowing the “the systematic process of translating general principles of learning and instructioninto plans of instructional materials and learning,” by applying a model such as the ADDIE model,which consists of five interrelated phases—Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, andEvaluation. Incidentally, the educational model is similar to the model that is used and taught inSTEM courses such as Software Engineering, Project Management, and Quality Assurancecourses

The focus of the game project is primarily real-time and modular programming.Similar to the IR project, students can complete the game project with programmingfundamentals learned from the course. In both projects, students often learn new ways to usethese concepts in order to develop an effective program.Both projects require students to further develop skills such as teamwork, time management, andproject planning. As students work in teams of two, they learn how to divide programmingbetween the team members, and to do so within time constraints. As part of the requireddocumentation, teams create algorithms and flow charts to plan the code for their project.Theoretical Framework and Survey DescriptionThe

Our goal was toprovide enough theory to allow the students to progress rapidly in the laboratory exercises. Thecurriculum was divided into ten 2.25 contact hour sessions. We also planned a related session onsupercomputers and modeling. The session on supercomputers was taught by a Department ofMathematics faculty member.

Anecdotally, these trends are not surprising, but now we can clearly measure them. In our future work, we plan to automate many of the reasonable instructor responses to such data. We may, for example, offer an automated reminder to calibrate if they have not in previous attempts, or we may have the site advise students to do their homework earlier if they’re waiting until the night before it’s due. We are also adding capabilities to detect unit conversion errors, and to notify the instructor when a particular student is having an abnormal level of difficulty so that

AR helped students to be more engaged in solving the problems. However,several students indicated that the activity was “exhausting” and they were “lost” during theactivity. The authors believe that this can be improved by streamlining the practice and trainingstudents in the use of the tool.The responses of students to the self-efficacy questions showed that there was no statisticaldifference in assisting students in understanding the problems.

Finally, some programs anduniversities choose to lease laptops for two, three, or four years instead of purchasing them.Leased-based programs where the university or program retains ownership adds institutionalresponsibilities, but simplifies student burden in planning the acquisition.
