to be controlled remotely by a ground station. They went throughthe full development life-cycle using formal agile process. The participants gained experience in projectmanagement, and how to negotiate with the customer to reduce the complexity of the project to anachievable scope, given available resources (time, personnel, and cost).I. INTRODUCTIONThis paper describes one of our activities under the INSPRE-CT (Computational Thinking) project that hasbeen funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) CPATH-2 program NSF-DUE-0939028. TheINSPIRE-CT project explored vertical integration of student teams to improve student learning and raisestudent interest in computing. Throughout the project, we looked for opportunities where we

contact hours acrossthe curriculum.One of the opportunities in meeting the new curriculum requirements was merging therequirements and architecture courses. By merging the two courses, we could provide courseteam projects and individual activities that spanned the requirements specification andarchitecture design activities of software development. The tight relationship betweenrequirements and architecture development is often described with the Twin Peaks model,1,2emphasizing the iterative co-development of requirements and architecture. When the courseswere separate, we could not have a single project that spanned the two courses. With the mergedcourse, the students carry the same project from inception through to requirements specificationand

We present detailed courseware and instructional modalities, including implementationdetails of daily in-class active learning activities, out-of-class assignments, and project resources,along with supporting materials from the literature and student feedback results.1. Introduction Evidence-based instruction or education is generally considered as the utilization of existingevidence from research and literature on education1. While findings from educational researchare critical, appraisal of discipline-specific research is often overlooked or not well-integratedinto instruction. We propose a unique research-to-practice model that combines evidence fromresearch on education as well as the

engineering instructor. Assessment is a vast topic withmany options. There are generally two types of knowledge to assess: declarative and procedural.Instructors vary the assessment method depending on that category of knowledge. For example,instructors can easily measure a student’s declarative knowledge with a written exam and proceduralknowledge with a project. However, in a graduate engineering course assessing procedural knowledge ismore prevalent, since the student must apply the declarative knowledge appropriately in order to succeedin our competitive workforce. In addition to an instructor’s method to evaluate a project, both peer andself-evaluation are often used as a complement to an instructor’s evaluation. Assessing softwareengineering

It shares many characteristics with traditionalengineering design processes, but for the purposes of this work, the following elements are theemphasis. In particular, this course promotes the Agile methodology, which is supposed toachieve the same results without imposing onerous, administration-heavy overhead.1 Agile is nota substitute for proper planning and execution, however, so this freedom demands discipline,which is generally lacking in students at this stage of their

Engineering Education, 2016 The Integration of Novel Forms of Feedback into Software Engineering CoursesAbstractSoftware Engineering students exhibit a wide array of learning styles across the perception,input, organization, processing, and understanding dimensions. To improve students’performance in the classroom, many techniques have been developed to address these variances.Active learning has a long history of usage in the software engineering classroom, and thedisciplines strong history of diagramming and visual representations have been very supportiveto the large percentage of students who are visual learners. Coaching by faculty in project basedcourses also is common in the discipline. However, when it
