various aspects of the PBL activities. We further investigated the factors that wererelated to such advanced thinking patterns. It should be noted that, the formats of PBL activitiesin which students self-reported included their course design or course projects, capstone projects,undergraduate research projects, and some competitive activities (e.g. Innovative Practice Programfor university students, a program that focuses on promoting innovative design and practice amongundergraduate students). By analyses of transcripts, we identified multiple factors, such asguidance from their professors/instructors, collaborations with peers, communications with otherstakeholders and their active collections, and digestion of relevant materials (e.g

: Alan H. Yorkdale Memorial Award, 2014. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Integration of Research Topics into Undergraduate Information Technology Courses and ProjectsIntroductionUndergraduate information technology, computer science and software engineering courses oftenrequire that software projects be completed in courses that allow students to gain experienceworking on real-world-like problems. Senior technology projects (Capstone projects) requirestudents to work on real-world projects that may require collaborating with companies. Research[1], [2], [3] has shown the advantages of using real-world-like projects in courses. Courseprojects, however, can also

This project presented the prospect of userstories from several perspectives—that of the food pantry clients, the organization’s skeletalstaff, homeless teens, and the volunteers that do much of the work of unloading, sortingpackaging and stocking the pantry shelves.All students were required to volunteer at the food pantry to experience the volunteers’perspective.

these are to occur in upper years, students would be so much more prepared to handle teamwork for [our Capstone Project].”The most significant criticisms of the event were to make the project more exciting, and to makethe presentation of results more meaningful/involved, as the demonstrations “really killed thebuildup of the entire event”. Based on the above observations, the organizers have mademodifications to the event for its subsequent offerings.3.4 Tron Days 2017Following the lead set forth by the other programs, Tron Days in 2017 was re-designed to focuson a single hands-on project. This change was needed both to address student interest, but also toease facilitation during the event. The students were tasked with building a
