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

andlearning center. There are two ways to approach this overlap. The first is to make the ASEEprogramming unique. 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. While almost 90% of therespondents reported having some campus-level teaching programming, at least 65% reportedthat they are interested in ASEE providing
toolsthat are being developed to achieve project objectives, the work related to the development ofcase studies is described here. 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

PCC scientists constructed the devices and evaluated the biological inputs/outputs in the system (picked biological seeds, plate counted bacteria, conducted DNA sequencing). 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

Here are some examples: Q1’s answers are correct, o but the answer to the follow-up is, “Only A or B can drive. o Instructor’s response: Why didn’t you select the third option, (A, B, C, C)? Selected (B, C, A, D), but not (A, B, D, C). o Follow-up answer was, “Because all the other answers except the answer I choose they put B in the back and B is the driver who should be in the front (sic).” o Instructor’s response was, “You explained correctly what you did, but you got part of Q1 wrong. Please read the question more carefully next time. Q1’s answer is
