. Once all team members were in the virtual laboratoryenvironment, they negotiated the division of the tasks involved in the experimental procedureamongst each other using the integrated instant messaging feature. Each student participatedactively in the assembly process of the simple gear train setup as shown in Figure 6. For studentsthat needed additional help (e.g. regarding the order in which the components needed to beassembled or how to pick and place an object), a virtual instructor was available at all times.After assembling the simple gear train experiment, the students were asked to build differentexperimental setups, including a simple gear train with one idler gear, a simple gear train with anodd number of idler gears and a simple

OverviewThe online assessment presented in this paper was used in conjunction with a first-yearengineering course that focused on computer programming. First-year students typically have aset of core courses, including mathematics, science, physics, etc. In addition to these traditionalcourses, students are also exposed to the C++ programming language as part of their first-yearengineering curriculum. The fundamental programming course runs for a 14-week semester withthree 1-hour lectures per week and two 1-hour lab sessions per week. Since this class is requiredfor all first-year students, a student’s familiarity with programming and overall background maybe different. This forces the course to begin with an introduction to programming. It

He has been actively involved in the development of this program, the first undergraduate software engineering program in the United States. This involvement included bringing active learning and problem-based learning into the curriculum, developing an inter-disciplinary course sequence in real-time and embedded systems, and guiding the program through its ABET accreditation. Prior to RIT, Dr. Vallino had seventeen years of software development experience in industry, followed by his PhD studies in Computer Science at the University of Rochester. His research interests include pedagogy for software engineering

all students into the course can view. If students are all workingon the same type of document or the same type of project, for instance, an instructor could createa video showing a ‘good’ example that would help students as they work on their ownassignment. This would allow students to see a representation of “good work” without requiringthat individual videos be created for each student. It would also be interesting to discover if thistype of feedback would help build community in online courses and strengthen the connectionbetween students at a distance and the instructor.Works Cited:[1] Norback, J.

is most effective when it reflects an understanding of learning as multidimensional, integrated, and revealed in performance over time. Formative assessment across the software application development process is intentionally integrated into the project. Each learning objective is addressed by at least two means of assessment. 3. Assessment works best when the programs it seeks to improve have clear, explicitly stated purposes. As the first-year students are still developing programmers, opportunities for formative assessment feedback are placed at critical points in the design process. 4. Assessment requires attention to outcomes but also and equally to the experiences that lead to those outcomes. Kolb’s

value causing a rapiddecline of intelligibility.Other studies have examined how delay affects fundamental learning processes, rather thanexamining it in the specific context of network information transfer. Maddox et al.6 investigatedthe effects of delaying feedback on ruled-based and information-integration learning. Rule-based skills require the learner to apply an explicit reasoning process, whereas information-integration skills require the learner to integrate existing knowledge, for example to infer theresults of decreasing a resistor’s value given Ohm’s Law and the power equation. They reportedthat feedback delay did not appear to affect the rule-based learning but significantly hinderedinformation-integration learning, such as

The results in Table 1 suggests thathaving performed the AM iLab experiment using interface A, users had a better understanding ofwhat amplitude modulation entails.

What if the student is actuallytalking to a peer and still manages to submit an answer before the computer categorizes him orher as disengaged?

The authors therefore plan to introduce the concepts of BIM and associated softwaretools at earlier stages of the curriculum.Another hurdle to be overcome, in terms of introducing any new technology at University level,is that faculty members do not always remain up-to-date with technical software applicationsused in industry. This may be alleviated with closer integration between industry and academia.Many of the institutions surveyed by the authors are keen to develop strong industry links andalready have visiting tutors and lecturers from industry, and this could extend to the teaching ofBIM processes and technologies.The authors aim to determine the most effective curriculum strategies that should be adopted

If you got your engineering degree before 1965, you probably took a Fortranprogramming class using something like an IBM 1620. You prepared your program on punchedcards and “loaded” the cards along with the operating system components onto the machine.Computing technology dramatically changed over time - from cards to terminals and magnetictapes and from 16 bit machines to 64 bit machines (mainframes).
