Education, 2014 Use of Microsoft Testing Tools to Teach Software Testing: An Experience ReportAbstractThis paper reports our experience using Microsoft testing tools in both graduate and under-graduate Software Testing courses for four semesters. In particular, we used Microsoft Visu-al Studio Ultimate 2010 (including Microsoft Test Manager 2010) and Microsoft TeamFoundation Server 2010, which together offer an integrated and comprehensive environmentfor the application lifecycle management, including test planning, authoring, automation,execution, tracking, monitoring and managing. We assessed our experience in using thetools from the student`s and the teacher’s points of view. Based on students’ feedback

the rhythm of “What/So What/ NowWhat?” Around this time, we began using this as a structure for reflections throughout thecurriculum, beginning in the first required seminar. This structure was inspired by the literatureon reflection that emphasize movement to future action, or a cyclical process [2, 3]. Around2000, we began also to use the acronym PAW, or “Present, Analyze, What’s Next?”, branded toour animal mascot [18].From 2017 to 2020, we used the same prompt for all of the reflections, as shown below, andencouraged students to choose from a menu of sub-prompts for their own What, So What andNow What.In 2020, of course the COVID-19 pandemic caused us to re-think our plans.

For him, social justice is a concept that should always be involved in discussions on infrastructure. Related to STEM education, Miguel Andr´es is in developing and applying contemporary pedagogies for STEM courses, teaching empathy studies in engineering as a tool for innovation, and assessing engineering students’ agency to address climate change

The cadet team followed Forest Service design parameters, includingmaking the bridge both wide enough and strong enough to accommodate ATVs for search andrescue missions.

While thisopenness enables freedom within curriculum development, it can also mean that technologyprograms are underdeveloped, understaffed and without the technical support needed to sustainsuch programs on a daily basis. To address these challenges, educational Fellows of the National Science Foundation’s (NSF)GK12 program have introduced a pilot program of computer-aided instruction (CAI) at two site

However, this research did not address actual implementation of thecurricula. Mathis et al.18 explored students’ use of EBR during solution generation of anengineering design challenge in a seventh-grade classroom. The study found that students usedEBR most while planning a design idea and evaluating the tested design solution; also, instancesof EBR were found in student worksheets and group discussions.

Engineers work directly with clients to develop a set of criteria andconstraints (time, money, resources, etc.) and to define the problem [8], [11]. Before any projectcan begin, engineers must see the problem in context [11].
