This intervention is based on the hypothesisthat students will more quickly learn the fundamentals of programming using CCS0’spedagogical model and programming environment than with a conventional course in C, and thatthey will effectively transfer these understandings to the study of C during the second half of thesame course. Furthermore, SDIm’s inclusion of projects that examine the dynamic behavior ofsimple RLC circuits will reinforce key concepts taught in foundational ECE courses.Introduction and motivationThe University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) offers bachelor programs in several engineeringdisciplines and in Computer Science.

Students understood that growth mindset was not an all or nothingswitch to be flipped.These findings are useful for educators interested in promoting productive beliefs about thenature of intelligence. Future work in this area will include an exploration of how these beliefschange over the undergraduate experience and the development of concrete strategies forstudents to begin to implement growth mindset within an engineering education context.BackgroundThe National Academy of Engineering provides us with a particular vision for the Engineer of2020, and these students will be graduating in just a few short years.

Survey of Student ExperienceAbstractThis paper is a report on evidence-based practice in a first year engineering program forMechanical Engineering Students. We adapted a year-long curriculum called Living with the Lab(LWTL) that uses a project-based, hands-on instruction to introduce students to engineeringfundamentals, programming, sensors, controls and engineering design. While adhering to thespirit and much of the content of the original curriculum, we added material, created newhands-on projects, introduced a flipped instructional model for the first course in the sequence,and experimented with an alternative final project model. We briefly describe our key innovationsto the LWTL curriculum.Introduction of this curriculum has coincided with

This requires a great deal of coordination and preplanning, and it is very easy forthe instructors to be zeroing in on the details, instead of the significant benefits the activity yields.In assessing this particular course, we can also note that extensive revision to the curriculum and learningmodes used in the course and classroom has already been accomplished, resulting in a much improvedcourse5,6,12.

Their talks were often jargon filled and over the students’ heads, and as a result thestudents were confused and bored. The students filled out an evaluation card for each speaker tohelp us understand who reached them and who didn’t. They were also encouraged to addcomments about the presentation. Using this technique we were able to bring back speakers thatcould communicate well with the students.Minds-On and Hands-On Experiences Both theory and experimentation are important in an introduction to engineeringtextbook, but how to do both effectively?

As consumers, we seekimproved and reliable services. We want innovative, environmentally neutral, andsustainable products. We expect a reliable and safe infrastructure to continue our dailyliving standard. Engineers are needed to keep us at the living standard that we enjoy andexpect.As we enter into the 21st Century, the demand for more engineers in the United States isincreasing.

A conscious decisionwas made not to develop a project-oriented course (e.g., Elzey1; Lo, Lohani and Griffin7) due tothe significant investment of faculty resources for such a course. Typically students in thesetypes of courses have been admitted into engineering and the goal of such courses is to developtheir design skills and pique their interest in engineering.
