However, MATLAB WebTA is still in development, and currentlyonly used for a few assignments in the introductory engineering course.As we continue to develop MATLAB WebTA, it is important to assess its efficacy, understanduser experience, and refine the code critiquer. With this in mind, this study poses the followingresearch questions: RQ1: How effective is the MATLAB WebTA in identifying and providing feedback on antipatterns in novice programmers’ code, as measured by instruments for student engagement and learning?

Moreover, the experience of fluency and expertise in one area showsstudents they are capable of a high level of expertise, for which they can strive in future.With this philosophy in mind, we have focused on six essential topics in the mechanics ofmaterials. Within each of these topics, we have identified a limited class of problems, which arebuilding blocks for solving many problems in mechanics generally, and for which we seek todevelop in students a significant level of expertise.The topics and the associated problem types are: · Axial loading: A single rod of multiple cross

As might be expected, the various engineering disciplines havebeen impacted to varying degrees. In the systems and controls area, the design paradigm shiftemphasizes the need for students to understand the practical issues (such as modeling andimplementation) associated with control system design. In the past, these practical issues havebeen the forte of mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineering
