So it waswith software engineering.Software engineering is a relatively young scientific discipline. For the first time, the term“Software Engineering” was proposed in 1968 at the NATO conference at Garmisch-Partenkirchen devoted to the so-called “software crisis” that has arisen with the developmentof computers of the third generation, allowing the realization not previously implementedsoftware projects. There was a need for new technologies and methods of management for thedevelopment of complex large software systems. In Russia, the HSE in 2006 began to developfirst domestic standard on software

consequence, educators have includedpractical projects in their software development course designs, recognizing the need tolearn about the human (i.e. cognitive and social) aspects of software engineering.9 Thesepractical projects are able to complement lectures and teach a different set of skills. Kroppand Meier11 introduced the Agile Competence Pyramid model, differentiating various levelsof these agile skills and rating them in importance. Agile values are considered to be mostimportant in their model by being on the top of the pyramid. However, the authors notethat this level of the model “is mostly completely neglected” in current course programs.In order to address this issue in an integrated approach, we have developed the softwareengineering

Are they entering theworkforce with high self-efficacy and a command of chemical engineering theory and designprinciples?Using a modified version of the Carberry et al. instrument for design self-efficacy, we trackedstudent self-efficacy throughout their senior design experience.

Additionally, older machineparts tended to be single-made, versus mass produced, which further complicates finding anappropriate replacement. This is a distinct problem when dealing with ageing machines that arestill in use, but cannot be easily fixed. This paper presents an example of how reverseengineering, modeling, and prototyping using a Maker Space may be employed to generate a partfor an ageing steam locomotive. To further student learning of reverse engineering andmodeling, this project was additionally used to fulfill and Honor’s Contract in an introductory3D constraint-based modeling course.1To graduate with an Honors diploma, students at Western Carolina University must

This particular course waschosen because its content offers natural connections between engineering and programmingconcepts. The MATLAB programming instruction and assignments were approached throughthe context of the dynamics course material. This allowed students to make connections betweentheir typical dynamics course content and the more abstract programming concepts which cansometimes be difficult for them to understand. This idea was indicated to be effective throughanonymous student comments from student evaluations.Introduction Although

Most recently she has implemented a STEM faculty Academy at FGCU that asks faculty to incorporate evidence-based practices into intro- ductory STEM courses and measure student learning through a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) project. She has spoken at numerous conferences and workshops on these topics. In addition, she is author of a series of guided-inquiry activities and a chemistry textbook for the health professions (Pearson Education). Her textbook takes a unique, integrated approach to the delivery of chemical topics that has been shown to increase student interest in the course.
