of Pattis’ approach atStanford prompted the committee to recommend adoption of Karel by ENCMP 100.Bergin et al.’s implementation2 of Karel, called Karel++, was adapted by the senior FSO for usein ENCMP 100. Because the course focused on procedural C++ (C programming with C++input/output streams), the object-oriented nature of Karel++ was hidden via preprocessor macros.Students were provided a Visual C++ starter project, which included a precompiled Karel++ Page 23.624.3library, and a C++ stub file for task programming. The project was configured to load Karel’sworld from a text file. Students were also provided a Windows application with

When a modest uncertainty of 0.2% for temperature is assumed, the properties arecertain to at most 3 to 4 digits, but not more. The same can be shown for steam.Uncertainty of Steam PropertiesIn the superheated steam tables, property data (v, u, h and s) is often given in pressure “blocks.”Students find the correct pressure block, then the line for the appropriate temperature to look upthe other properties. Although two other intensive properties can be used to fix the state, the Page 23.746.8most common are pressure and temperature; hence

thus, the feminine in any representation is devalued.Consequently, the dichotomous relationships ensue. For example, understanding that to be anengineer is to not be a student in the humanities. The two colleges and cultures representgendered disciplines in this sense.3 Using Putnam et al.’s, explanation of hierarchy in difference,masculine is privileged and so it becomes the ideal.10 Therefore, anything outside of this standardarguably will be a tension.Examining the culture surrounding this tension and in order to better understand the output ofgraduates, Godfrey and Parker found that engineers have certain ways of performing engineer.2They contend that as long as people stay close to the engrained way of “being an engineer” theyare accepted

questionresponse itself.Overall, clickers have shown potential to keep students engaged in the learning process andprovide a means to quickly assess learning success. Students are prompted to connect the newconcept(s) to those learned previously and demonstrate their mastery of it. This allows thestudents and the instructor to rapidly discover whether the introduction of a new concept wassuccessfully scaffolded onto prior knowledge by a critical portion of the class. If the answer is no,the instructor can return to the concept with a clarification or another example. If the answer isyes, the instructor may move on, but the students who privately know they were not correct are
