Adding music to the game isn't related to the learning topics, but itdoesn't interfere with them and it increases the sensation game pleasure. Likewise some of themore whimsical and fantastic elements of the game (such as talking magpies and some visualaspects of the museum rooms) add to a sense of fantasy and sensation.We haven't yet incorporated the game pleasures of fellowship and expression into the design ofMagnitude Museum, but those game pleasures can make the game more fun without interferingwith the educational aspects.Future workIn the future we plan to make a multiplayer version

, while other degrees are considered as applied majorswith which graduates are expected to go to industry right after school.According to [3], Chinese computing education can be divided into three major developmentperiods. The first period started in 1956, following a 12-year plan by the State Council of Chinaat the time. The 12-year plan identified computer as one of the six emerging areas of importance.A couple schools, including Tsinghua University and Harbin Institute of Technology, started thecomputing majors in 1956. By the end of 1950s, more than 10 colleges initiated computingmajors. The focus at the time was on designing and building computers, or computing devices. Afew sample courses of the time include Principles of Electric

applied to the student retention problem. A data mining approach could be a mostworthwhile strategy for other practitioners and researchers planning to include many variablesalong with all levels of STEM students in the data set. Hendrix [19] found only one out of every2,352 dissertation abstracts included the search words “data mining” in a search of dissertationswith the key words “higher education” and “retention.”In this review, the relevant retention factors, organized in groups, concern students’ academicbackground, commitment behavior, and family background. Multiple variables within thesethree groups of factors are also part of the discussions.Method & ModelThe data mining method of analysis was a predictive classification process

Work-in-Progress: A Web-Based Tool to Assess Computational ThinkingAbstractWhen President Obama unveiled his plan to give all students in America the opportunity to learncomputer science [1], discussions about Computational Thinking (CT) began in earnest in manyorganizations across a wide range of disciplines. However, Jeannette Wing stated the importanceof CT for everyone a decade earlier in her landmark essay [2]. Since then, several people andorganizations have posted their own definition of CT, which presents a challenge in being able toassess CT understanding and awareness in people. In an effort to build consensus on how to bestassess CT, the authors have developed a web-based tool that will enable CT experts globally

that ideainto actions requires planning. So before one can write any code, or design any system,one has to take the time to explore the possible techniques and technologies. The mainchallenge for non micro-controller based TEG systems is that the utilization efficiency ofthe energy is low, a large amount of the generated energy may be wasted. Hence there isa potential need for an energy management system which can acquire, store and deliverenergy efficiently, with minimum energy wastage. With proper mentoring, capable tutelage,and guidance, these burgeoning and talented young students will contribute to the bestpractices in implementing future system design and apps development.ResultsSo far we have used this series of modular design projects

. The dream of an autonomous vehicle has been there for almost acentury. It can be said that the first “autonomous” vehicle was Stanford Cart which was built in1961. The automated car concept was evolved truly in 1980s with Carnegie Melon University’sNavLab and ALV projects which resulted in ALVINN which used a neural network to drive [8].The automotive industries are conducting significant research and development efforts in thearea of autonomous vehicles. The major automotive companies like Toyota, Ford, MercedesBenz, BMW, Volvo have announced their plans for creating an autonomous car. In the racetowards autonomous vehicles, Tesla and Waymo (from Google) are two of the most advancedcompanies. In 2014, Google introduced Google car with camera

Third, students create their own accounts and therefore usermanagement is a problem.In the future, we plan to develop more labs on commercial, public cloud systems and use VirtualPrivate Network (VPN) to connect students’ virtual machines with a central server to providebetter support and monitoring when needed. We are also considering integrating automaticassessment scripts through the central server on the public cloud to provide immediate feedback,which has been done successfully in some labs on our in-house, cloud-based systems.REFERENCES[1] D.

The main risk was the scale of the company; it was a small privately-ownedfirm with limited resources, very tight budgets, and thin operational margins. The companystated it needed to make the product commercially available after the end of the academic year tobe profitable.

The completion rate was tracked in the beginning of the semester, but tailed off toward the end because it did not seem necessary. 2. investigate the impact of flipping the course on achievement of learning outcomes by comparing test scores of

Both prior programming experience and lab enrollmentprovide additional practice to students, which in turn increases ability in programming andperformance in the course overall.7. RecommendationsThe student’s ability to choose to take their programming course with or without lab grants thestudent more options when planning their college experience, allowing for a more effectivecourse load. For example, we find that students with prior programming experience who alsoenrolled in the lab did not perform much better than those with experience who did not enroll inlab. Therefore, if a student has prior knowledge in programming, they can be advised that the

instructorscaffolds with dialogue as needed. As a tertiary benefit, students become familiar with the pair-programming paradigm used in industry. The worksheet problems are a single arc where studentsconstruct a solution/algorithm (computational thinking [20]), rather than work backward from anexisting solution. The pairs are randomly assigned each day. Pairs are chosen carefully by theinstructor to avoid towers of knowledge [41] and ensure zone of proximal development [42]–[44]. The worksheets are graded and worth 25% of an overall grade. Adjusting the plan for theday based on JiTT was a time intensive process that significantly increased prep time for theinstructor by one to two hours before each lecture, in addition to the large one-time cost
