After allteams have completed the tRAT, the instructor can give a short—typically 5 to 10 minutes—lecture clearing up any remaining confusion about the topic. Students are given an opportunity tosubmit a written appeal, as a team, of any RAT question they believe might be ambiguous. Anexample of a RAT is given in the appendix.The applications–on which the most time is spent in class–are problems that the students mustsolve as a team.

The secondapproach is to partner with other organization(s). This approach has extra benefits; it exposesASEE and its mission to the members of other organizations and it can provide extra assistancefor planning and execution. For research-specific programming, some campuses have foundsuccess with ASEE-hosted STEM education poster sessions.

Historically, case studies have been as educational tools inbusiness, law and medicine but not so much in software engineering. The hypothesis is that casestudies would be effective educational tools to introduce real-world professional practices intothe classroom which would help the students in identifying and solving problems, and develop aperspective on knowledge application. In this paper we describe a set of V&V related case-studies that we have drawn from industry experiences and developed them as pedagogical tools.These case-studies cover several important topics in S/W V&V domain such as software

This study also found that faculty classroom practice isrelated to student outcomes and that student-centered teaching practices are related to bettergrades and less course withdrawals. In other words shifting faculty practices towards student-centeredness would likely lead to lower percentages of DEW student grades. Providing effectivefaculty development opportunities in student-centered instruction is therefore highlyrecommended in order to mend the gap between faculty beliefs and practice and to promote morepositive student outcomes.AcknowledgementThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1226586.Bibliography1 M.

In addition, an instructorcan require each individual group to 3D print their own truss (rather than simply demonstratingthe printing procedure and conducting the failure loading test of the two optimized trusses). Thistype of expansion, of course, will require a significant time investment. It typically takes onehour to print the members needed to fully erect the truss at normal printing speeds (60-80 mm/s).The time required to train the teaching assistant (TA) to install and troubleshoot the 3D printer,and work with the g-code generator should take approximately 5-10 hours

In the future, a survey will be given to studentsat the first build session, and the same survey upon completion to measure competencies.A statistical analysis of the survey results was performed. For each category considered, the datawas first tested for normality. For normally distributed data sets, a paired t-test was used. For thedata that was not normal, the Wilcoxon R-S test was used to test for significance. A p-value lessthan 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Figure 2a: First part of survey
