In the CE program, the first two yearsare primarily devoted to mathematics, science, humanities, Spanish, English, and economycourses. In years three and four, the basis of CE is built with core courses in the areas ofsoftware, hardware, and communications. In the fifth year, students take mostly technicalelective courses. The program is structured to fulfill both breadth and depth of knowledge andconcludes in the fifth year with a major design experience through a capstone course identifiedas the “Design Project in Computer Engineering”.The particular academic setting where participating students were chosen included four

Nonetheless, in 2001 the National Center for Education Statistics reported that 87.7%of engineering faculty used lectures as an instructional method in the classes they taught whileonly 5% indicated the use of methods other than lecture, seminar, lab or field work 3, 4.

Innovations in Software Engineering Education: An Experimental Study of Integrating Active Learning and Design-based LearningABSTRACTSignificant advancements have been made in engineering education in recent years. An importantoutcome of these advancements is the integration and extension of fundamental pedagogies as part ofengineering curricula, as well as the need for continued research into the effectiveness of thesepedagogies on students’ learning within engineering knowledge domains. In this paper, we focus on anengineering educational research study in the domain of software engineering. This study considers theimportant research question of the efficacy of traditional lecture-homework-project teaching approachescompared to peer-to

What types of cyberlearning awards has DUE made over the past 10 years? 4.) What are theperceptions of cyberlearning among a subset of NSF Program Officers? 5.) Based on the quantitative andqualitative findings, what are possible directions DUE could take with its support for cyberlearning? This study yielded many findings. In scholarly literature, cyberlearning is described using theforms in which it may appear (e.g., games, virtual environments), its purpose, attributes, and outcomes.Over the past ten years, DUE has provided approximately $100M to over 800 cyberlearning
measured the impact that professionaldevelopment training for pre-college engineering had on these beliefs. We examined this in thecontext of a specific, well-regarded, pre-college engineering program, Project Lead the Way(PLTW). We measured teachers’ views before and after training and teaching their first PLTWcourse, as compared to changes observed with a control group of STEM teachers. Some pre-existing differences reached statistical significance: Prospective PLTW teachers were morelikely than control teachers to identify sources of support for engineering in their schools, reportthat science and math concepts were integrated with engineering instruction; and to supportgreater access to engineering. Over time, teachers from both groups were

benefits of the program are that the students are more likely to pursue graduate school,pursue the same type of research area upon graduation, and develop an understanding of currentresearch practices. The CBE retention strategies include setting up a mentoring program toprovide the freshman students with opportunities to benefit from the knowledge and experienceof senior engineering students and faculty. By understanding the needs of the students, CBEcreates a culture that fosters loyalty and hard work. The approach to the undergraduate researchexperience is to construct learning objectives which incorporates communication (i.e., helpseeking), teamwork skills (i.e., peer learning), and project conduct (i.e., self-regulated learning

The box plotsindicate that the mean averages between the treatment and the control groups are nearlyidentical, with only a 2.03% difference as seen in Table II. Referring to Fig. 1, the maximumfinal course grade exceeds 100%, due to extra credit given during the project (exam #2). Thereare a number of outliers for each semester and for both groups. This is due in part to studentswho stopped attending the course and did not withdraw.

The Teagle Foundation plans to address this problem through their “LiberalArts in the Professions” program [1], in which liberal arts education will be embedded into thecurriculum of undergraduates preparing for the professions. Under this project faculty will beable to develop a suite of measures to integrate liberal arts teaching into the undergraduateengineering curriculum.Over summer 2015, during the planning phase of this project, faculty teams from the fourcampuses (California State University Northridge, Los Angeles, Chico, and California StatePolytechnic University Pomona) have met with each other and held discussions and meetings ontheir own campuses to evaluate the feasibility, utility and efficacy of a variety of
amounts of information and data. In some cases, design projects are an engineeringstudent’s first significant introduction to this type of advanced information processing. Designcommunication documents are similar to explanatory writing in that one must analyze multipleinformation sources and subsequently make decisions based upon this analysis. Furthermore,designers must deal with conflicting information, questionable data sources, and advancedtechnical topics.The front-end phases of design (problem definition, development of user requirements, andtranslation to engineering specifications) require a particularly large amount of informationprocessing because one is just beginning to understand the design problem and must gain a deepunderstanding
