Over the years, universities have adopted the capstone Senior Design project inorder to provide students the opportunity to put their engineering skills to the test in real-worldprojects. However, educators agree that obtaining competency in engineering design requireshours of hands-on practice beyond the time and scope of a university course. As a result, we arepilot testing a series of supplementary active-learning

-wise sense, the integral method approach ensures that the basic laws and resultingsolutions are satisfied only in average sense over the region. As noted earlier, the mathematicalimplication of this compromise is a reduction of the number of independent variables and/or areduction of the order of the governing differential equation. The basic steps of the integralmethod are as follows: 1) The first step is the integral formulation of the principle of conservation of energy. By integrating the differential equation of the heat conduction problem over the thermal layer δ(t), one arrives at the heat-balance integral governing the problem. Recall that δ(t) is a phenomenological distance representing the thermal penetration depth

process of student outcomes in the engineering programs.IntroductionThe ABET-Engineering Commission (EAC) accreditation of engineering programs based onstudents’ learning outcome assessment (EC-2000) began in late 1990s. During the last few yearsof 1990s programs were given the choice of being evaluated based on the old criteria or the newlyestablished EC-2000 criteria. Since 2000, all engineering programs requesting accreditation forthe first time or seeking re-accreditation by ABET-EAC have been required to demonstrate thatprogram meets a set of criteria that include both the general criteria for baccalaureate degreeprograms and the program criteria required by the program lead society (e.g., ASCE, IEEE,ASME).1 The programs must also meet all

This project is grounded in Butler andCartier’s SRL model, which describes the interplay between affect, motivation, cognition, andmetacognition within academic engineering design activities. Dym & Little’s design processmodel was also used as sensitizing theoretical framework.

In these courses, programming is often taught in a fragmented way by having thestudents learn the basic rudiments of syntax and then modify examples by trial-and-error. Webelieve that the active-learning approach can enhance rigorous introductory programming coursesand have been developing a proof of this concept in a multi-year NSF-funded study of a novelpedagogical intervention.For the past few years we have offered two versions of our introductory C programming course.The first is a traditional course where students are given individual paper-based
