Students thatelected to take the survey submitted their major, noted how long they had been attending college-level classes, and completed an engineering identity survey (Godwin, 2016).Nine of the students (less than 3%) in the University 101 class completed the survey. This poorturnout may be due to a lack of incentive to fill out the survey or because of the timing of thesurvey distribution (three weeks before final exams). While the survey only took a few minutesto fill out and the following interview would

A junior counselor was able to fill in and create a new activitythat incorporated the card game in a way that was much more fun for the student campers whileteaching the cybersecurity concepts better.Junior counselors introduced the campers to cybersecurity ‘Capture The Flag’ (CTF)competitions and coached a live cybersecurity CTF event with camper teams. This collaborationbetween the student counselors and cybersecurity campers became a very popular camp activity;the cybersecurity campers asked the student counselors for additional CTF resources and wereinterested in setting up similar competitions in

From this brainstorming, the three best proposed solutions were determined forconsideration in further development through the design cycle. A Pugh matrix was developed tocompare these proposals based on desired criteria collected from customer reviews andmarketing research (Appendix A). After analyzing the Pugh matrix, it was determined thatconsolidating a vacuum cleaning system and deep cleaning system into one device was the bestoption. This proposed solution utilized two separate intakes for each system connected via a y-joint, allowing for a split flow path leading to a universal

students will be collected and analyzed to study theteaching and learning effectiveness of these modules for further improvement. Each module willbe a complete, and stand-alone package that operates in three modes, i.e. Learning, Assessment,and Game modes. The Learning Mode teaches fundamental concepts through simulations andvisualization, the Assessment Mode quizzes on the understanding of these concepts withconceptual questions, and the Game Mode gives problems for students to apply concepts andtheir critical thinking and problem-solving skills. All the activities are carefully thought throughand planned to cover, teach, and assess critical concepts in a systematic matter.2.

For example, Chemistry 115common exams were scheduled on Monday evenings from 7 – 9 pm so those tutoring sessionswere scheduled on “off weeks” from exams.Chemistry 115 was scheduled for Monday, Mathematics 155 (Calculus) was scheduled forTuesday evenings and Mathematics 153 / 154 (Calculus Part 1 & 2) was scheduled for Thursdayevenings. These subjects were chosen since the majority of students in the Engineering LLCwere enrolled in those courses.In the spring of 2019, tutoring was expanded to cover Physics 111 (General Physics) andMathematics 156 (Calculus 2) as those were classes that the majority of the students typicallytake in the spring semester.House Cup / Running

Consequently, it may be especially important to ensure that students enroll in a mathcourse that aligns with their current skill set, even if they must devise an alternative plan to meetfuture prerequisite requirements. Among our population, and others [20], math self-efficacy wasmore dependent on grade earned, rather than course enrolled.To what extent might math self-efficacy be associated with persistence in engineering?We indeed found that math self-efficacy was highest among students who were retained throughtheir sophomore year. Given the potential role of math self-efficacy in retention, it may beimportant to encourage classroom environments and support activities that help to build mathself-efficacy, especially among students who do not

Based on the freshman population, there are typically 14-28 different seminar topicsand 18-23 sections with approximately 20 students per section. Because of the broad nature ofthe General Education outcomes, each seminar section varies in its particular topic, spanningmany different disciplines. The School of Engineering at The Citadel used the curriculum updateas an opportunity to engage both engineering and non-engineering students with engineeringtopics in the freshman seminars.

It was decided to first implement the core game functionality.To verify that core game functionality is correct, multiple exhaustive rounds of the new Snake gamewere to be played. After ensuring that the base functionality of the game was complete and correct,the hardening and obfuscation was to be included.As previously mentioned, obfuscation techniques were to be junk code insertion, rabbit-holefunction calls, and stack pointer manipulation. Junk code insertion is a common and relativelysimple technique in basic code hardening and obfuscation. The goal of this technique is to muddythe source code of an application without changing the functionality of the application. To do this,random

For larger systems there may be other aspects as well: ● Comprehension of the desired task ● Planning a sequence of steps to accomplish that task ● Writing a program in a particular language to implement the algorithm ● Testing and (usually) debugging the program In teaching programming, we can show students the programming constructs of alanguage, such as a loop, but like any language, fluency comes through practice. The obviousway to build competence is to have students write programs

This proactive approach can lead to collaborative work between searchcommittees and administrators. However, blaming search committees alone for not presenting adiverse pool of candidates for hiring decisions to be made up the chain is insincere if committeemembers are not included early on in the development of faculty search plans, do not have aproactive voice in the recruitment strategy, and are not given direct resources to be innovative inthe areas of non-traditional advertising that may be required to reach out to minority faculty

Regular reflection plays a critical role in the construction of metacognitiveknowledge and self-regulatory skills, or planning, monitoring, and evaluating one’s own learningand knowledge. Metacognition is important because it supports the development of lifelonglearning skills needed to excel in the workforce. It provides students with strategies for whennew tasks arise, as they must be able to navigate independently after college by directing theirown learning.

This extended to change of major requests from one major to another withinthe School of Engineering and Computer Science as well. In the 2017 catalog multiple Schoolssought more control over the process for a variety of reasons, mostly over concerns about theability of the School to accommodate demand for its majors and allocation of resources tomatch growth.
