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

, there is a growing interest in potential innovation for the middle-years of engineering curricula, which usually focus on disciplinary engineering sciences that aredeemed necessary for professional preparation. This factor, as well as an increased focus oninterdisciplinary education has spurred the development of integrated curriculum for engineeringeducation2. Integrated curricula allow students to engage in systems thinking as they integrateknowledge across domains3. By nature of an integrated approach, students may find motivationto engage in meaningful learning as engineering concepts are explicitly tied to multipledisciplines and non-engineering subjects4. Additionally, studies have indicated that studentsperform better on standardized

feedback is necessary to help students further develop these skills and ithas been suggested such feedback is best when situated in the context of authentic engineeringtasks 3. We hypothesize that in such a context, students are more likely to take up feedback onprofessional skills because these skills will be viewed as an integral part of what an engineerdoes. There are two parts to providing students with feedback on these skills: (a) we first musthave a firm understanding of what it means to have professional skills in engineering, and (b) weneed to know how to effectively provide students with feedback on these skills.The case study described in this paper focuses on discourse as students receive feedback whilethey engage in an industrially

These findings reinforce the notion that thecomponents of critical-thinking skills identified by Glaser in 1941, i.e., recognition of problems,gathering of pertinent information, recognition of unstated assumptions and values,comprehension and use of language with accuracy, clarity and discrimination, are relevantindicators of technological problem-solving skills.The process of troubleshooting requires an integrated ability to collect, process, and evaluateexternal and internal information.

In particular, the Concept states: Academic advising is integral to fulfilling the teaching and learning mission of higher education.

The questionnaires are used by faculty to create student schedules.
