have the flexibility toeither follow the suggested teaching outline or use their own discretion to determine which of thetopics are suitable, fine-tuning the course materials to make them more accessible andunderstandable to their students. This also increases the effectiveness of the modules andachieving the desired learning outcomes.Seven Course ModulesThe following is a description of seven course modules that are to serve as the instructionalmaterials for teaching software testing in multiple CS and SE undergraduate courses. Alsoexplained is the rationale behind the choice and design of each module, and the course(s) itmight apply to.Module 1 – Software Testing Fundamentals: The must-knows of software testingThis module covers concepts
AC 2012-4719: INTEGRATING AEROSPACE RESEARCH MATERIALSINTO A PROJECT-BASED FIRST-YEAR ENGINEERING DESIGN COURSEDr. Jacques C. Richard, Texas A&M University Dr. Richard got his Ph. D. at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 1989 & a B. S. at Boston Univer- sity, 1984. He was at NASA Glenn, 1989-1995, taught at Northwestern for Fall 1995, worked at Ar- gonne National Lab, 1996-1997, Chicago State, 1997-2002. Dr. Richard is a Sr. Lecturer & Research Associate in Aerospace Engineering @ Texas A&M since 1/03. His research is focused on compu- tational plasma modeling using spectral and lattice Boltzmann methods such as in plasma turbulence (http://www.worldscinet.com/cgi-bin/details.cgi?id=jsname:ijmpc&
industrysponsored. Student teams face challenges when defining objectives for an ambiguous project,controlling scope creep, achieving buy-in, and selling their results to the sponsor. These areskills that are not taught in most engineering curriculums prior to the capstone course(s). Ourobservations are consistent with the observations by other researchers who have studied thedesign process. Wilson et. al 2 highlighted how students in the capstone course setting strugglewith setting milestones and soliciting feedback at the right times. Developing and effectivelycommunicating the project plan and status are critical to the success of the project. As noted byYildirim3, there is a need for understanding the relationships between design activities

engineeringclasses will be beneficial both from an instructor’s perspective, to provide insight into areas ofmisunderstanding, and for the student’s perspective, to provide them with opportunities to re-examine and deepen their understanding of the material. This paper presents a snapshot of thisendeavor as we attempt to apply this new approach to the education of electrical and computerengineering students. It is clearly a work in progress, but initial results are promising.References 1.

projects described, a community in BuniaduVillage approached some of the UTG students looking for help powering their mosque. A groupof students went out to the site and designed a complete PV system meeting the mosque’s needs.The community covered the costs of all the required equipment. On installation everythingworked and was still working perfectly to date. Our hope is that this is just a small example ofwhat might be possible with the collaborative, locally funded, approach outlined here.Works Cited 1. Oakes, W.

equation is correct. Foractual learning to occur, however, they must structure available information to fit with priorknowledge to create a useful understanding of the concepts or process. Nilson suggests sometechniques to conduct initially before diving into the problem solving attempt, including 1)reviewing the problem and clarify meaning, 2) define the problem, 3) identify given knowledge,4) identify the knowledge needed to acquire, 5) set objectives [7].Research has shown that inadequate mental workload capacity may hinder learning throughoutthe problem solving task [8]. If a student’s workload capacity is low, then (s)he may lack enoughexcess capacity to encode new knowledge because lower level tasks are not being performedefficiently
ofAlabama has been using in previous years. The Dragon12-Plus MCU from EVBplus has beenthe main hardware that laboratory assignments for ECE 383 have been built around2,3,8. This hascontributed to a decline in the grasp of the fundamentals of microcontrollers and peripheralinterfacing. Possible reasons could include the absence of the connections in physical sight of theuser when working with the MCU, or possibly the sheer magnitude of the device that the studentis working with. The fact that the students working the assignments have not been making thephysical wiring connections from the microcontroller to the peripheral device(s), because of themonolithic nature of the MCUs, may be contributing to this decline in peripheral interfacingaptitude
students inattendance.The approach used in this case varied over a three-term period, providing insight into whichaspects of the peer-tutoring process led to different observable effects on the students’performance. Additionally, the professor(s) teaching the same class each term varied, allowingfor insight into how the professor may influence the structure and content of the tutoringsessions.During the first term, a single peer tutor was employed by the university’s SARC to providelearning assistance to engineering students taking MECH-320: Thermodynamics. The tutor’sschedule was posted, however the professor made no commitment to the process, not even goingout of the way to mention in class that a peer tutor was available for consultation. As
