Through this process,we can help students make software testing an integral part of their coding practice with theunderstanding that testing cannot just be added on to the software at the last minute after it isproduced.Currently, we are working on a TUES (Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Type II project funded by NSF to develop a set ofinstructional materials in the form of course modules, not confined to a particular technique ortool but generalized over different aspects of

summarizescurrent progress and plans for the NSF project. Finally, it discusses student reactions, lessonslearned, and future directions.IntroductionTo improve student learning, enthusiasm, and retention, especially in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) areas, educators have developed a wide variety of activelearning approaches to engage students, enhance learning, and emphasize attitudes and skills inaddition to knowledge; a few reports are summarized below. Baldwin2 described experiences,benefits, and pitfalls with discovery learning, which broadly refers to learning through self-teaching. McConnell17 discussed active and collaborative learning (ACL), a set of ACLactivities, associated risks and ways of addressing them
