The hardware usually results in a sitting body posture while using thedevice.Virtual Theatre. The Virtual Theatre is a mixed reality simulator which enables unrestrictedmovement through a virtual environment and therefore is used in an upright body posture.The user can move around within the environment by just walking in the desired direction.Therefore the control mode of locomotion is walking naturally. To track the movements of auser, the virtual theatre is equipped with 10 infrared cameras. They

tRAT is keyto help students to correct misconceptions in real time, and the points-scale gives the studentsmotivation to learn to work together effectively as a team without instructor input. After allteams have completed the tRAT, the instructor can give a short—typically 5 to 10 minutes—lecture clearing up any remaining confusion about the topic. Students are given an opportunity tosubmit a written appeal, as a team, of any RAT question they believe might be ambiguous. Anexample of a RAT is given in the appendix.The applications–on which the most time is spent in class–are problems that the students mustsolve as a team. The applications follow a 4-S format: Same problem, Significant problem,Specific choice, and Simultaneous report. A class

On large campuses, some Chapters have found success in providingSTEM-specific content as a supplement to the campus-level content for all majors. The secondapproach is to partner with other organization(s). This approach has extra benefits; it exposesASEE and its mission to the members of other organizations and it can provide extra assistancefor planning and execution. For research-specific programming, some campuses have foundsuccess with ASEE-hosted STEM education poster sessions.

Historically, case studies have been as educational tools inbusiness, law and medicine but not so much in software engineering. The hypothesis is that casestudies would be effective educational tools to introduce real-world professional practices intothe classroom which would help the students in identifying and solving problems, and develop aperspective on knowledge application. In this paper we describe a set of V&V related case-studies that we have drawn from industry experiences and developed them as pedagogical tools.These case-studies cover several important topics in S/W V&V domain such as software

Similar experimental set-ups were operated at both institutions. Cal Poly Pomona engineers provided support with system operation and water sample analysis. Student interaction was achieved by using: (a) Initial in-person two-hour meetings. Every semester, to break the ice and engage PCC and Cal Poly Pomona students with the collaborative work, initial meetings were hosted at Cal Poly Pomona. PCC students and the professor(s) visited the campus and had the opportunity of touring the engineering laboratory facilities. The initial meetings

, the CIT-E community had a deeper understanding of flipping.We understood that flipping is not simply a matter of recording some screencasts for students to watchout of class. Rather, the design of the flipped classroom exercises must be intentional. The SecondAnnual Infrastructure Education Workshop is planned in May 2015 to answer the following questions,and the answers will be reported on the companion poster to this paper.  What material in the current course(s) can readily be adapted to out-of-class screencasts? The answer to this question will provide an estimate of how much class time is now freed up for active learning exercises.  What are the characteristics of an effective in-class question for the flipped

Both Models run on a variety of Linux distributions such as Raspbian (a DebianWheezy port) and Pidora (a Fedora port), in addition to other OS such as OpenElec and RISCOS. The official distributions are optimized for the CPU's ARMv6 instruction set and are freelyavailable for download, yet many more are available for download. 5 Nearly all distributions areLinux-based, with the notable exception of Plan 9 developed by Bell Labs

Thismethod may also be employed to demonstrate to the students how to formulate either wordproblems or a design basis. It also helps the teachers to show to their students how to switchfrom rote memorization to critical thinking.‘System Analysis’ ApproachThe system analysis approach considers the definition of a system as composed of componentswhich interact with each other to produce output(s) based on inputs.
