Additionally, quantitative analysis was used to understand theeffects the intervention had on student self-efficacy. The guiding research questions were: (1)How did such technology-supported scaffolded (MATLAB Live) modeling activity experiencesimpact student self-efficacy regarding programming and computational modeling? (2) Based onstudent comfort level with programming (self-efficacy), how did students vary in their reportedexperiences of MATLAB Live? The results of this analysis show that the MATLAB Livescaffolding proved beneficial to both novice and experienced programmers, yet student

The design of the course focused on engaging students with innovative technologyand empowering students to develop technology-based engineering solutions for their semesterproject. The goal of this paper is for the authors to share their experiences in 1) designingVR-infused activities and design challenges for their courses, 2) developing two VR-readyclassrooms, and 3) implementing virtual reality (VR) in their classroom environments. Thedesign of the class was focused on the adoption of group-based problem-solving, educationalgames, and

The class leveragesInnovation Based Learning (IBL) [1], a pedagogy similar to Project Based Learning [2] butemphasizing the creation of novel ideas and the development of projects with social impact.Besides having to meet IBL’s requirements, we faced a challenge: our 36 students were based indifferent locations. Most were spread across two different campuses. Some were taking thecourse online from various locations across the country. Good communication, inside andoutside the class, had to be achieved under these constraints since good communication

In this paper, we demonstrate the AR tool and share our experience andthe assessment results.IntroductionSpatial ability or visuo-spatial ability is the capacity to comprehend, reason and remember thespatial relations among objects or space 1 . It is of value for the success in engineering and othertechnical fields. In engineering, for instance, engineers utilize spatial skills when designing partsof a machine; they must understand functions and interaction of the parts from multipleperspectives while integrating the parts among a variety of other components in an assembly 2 . Itis very common to find higher spatial ability in people working on engineering and architecturerelated activities 3 .Engineering students differ in their development

We indicate ideas of how Coral's introduction can be improved, which may yieldfurther improvements.1. IntroductionCS1 courses are difficult and commonly have high rates of Ds, Fs, and withdrawals [1], [2], [3],[4], [5], [6]. One contributing factor is the set of technical challenges in the first several weeks,including nuances of commercial languages like Python, Java, and C++ [7].

Yet,there are limited numbers of inquiry investigate approaches to incorporated CT into acurriculum. Betül Czerkawski researched ways to integrate CT across all curriculum, throughsurveying instructional CT designers. She constructed the survey using the ADDIEinstructional design model.

Theresults of student node tracking are also reported.Constructivist theory of education is to assist students with the construction of their ownunderstanding of a knowledge domain. Bruner [1] considered knowledge of a domain to beembedded in a structure and “grasping the structure of a subject is understanding it in a way thatpermits many other things to be related to it meaningfully. To learn structure, in short, is to learnhow things are related.” As stated by Montfort, et al. [2] these structures are

In fact, engineering students outside of computer and electrical engineering may notrealize the value of computer programming skills until after they have graduated and advanced intheir career [1]. Failure to find value in computer programming may have negative consequencesfor learning. Indeed, engineering students who do not view programming as interesting or usefulshow poorer performance on tests of programming concepts than students who do [2]. This findingis consistent with theories of technology acceptance [3-4] that emphasize perceived usefulness

Of these, items two andfour focus on holistic engineering, emphasizing global cultural, social, environmental, andeconomic factors.To address all of the critical aspects of engineering projects, students must successfully analyze therequirements, synthesize information, and evaluate several design options for a given problem.These cognitive skills match well with Bloom’s

In addition, the synchronous in-person teaching component incorporatesevidence-based instructional strategies. We define synchronous distance instruction as a form ofinstruction where the faculty member is physically located with one set of students and otherstudents are connected into the class remotely.
