Appropriating the turtle in 1 It is important to note, this is the first CS course, since UC Berkeley has been tracking student course data, thathas ever achieved that feat.the LOGO programming environment gave children a way to think about the principles ofcomputation and the practice of programming.Design of an Inclusive CS0 CourseAt UC Berkeley, there are two separate ways a students can get a CS degree. They can either get aBachelor of Arts (B.A.) through the College of Letters and Sciences (L&S), or get a Bachelor ofScience (B.Sc.) through the College of Engineering. The major difference between the two tracksis that students who get the B.A. get to take breadth requirements that gives them exposure tomore

The vignette that NGSS provides states thefollowing: “Ms. S. moved over to another group that had just broken into laughter and asked what was so funny. Rick related, ‘I see smashed cans all the time. I think an airfoot stomped the tanker down. And the molecules transformed into a molecule foot.’ Ms. S. asked, ‘What is this imaginary foot?’ Latasia answered, ‘Air.’ Ms. S. guided the students, ‘Let’s add that idea to the model.’ (The teacher validated the use of place [smashed cans in the neighborhood] to keep the students engaged and make a

Future work should examine the affect of students learning a skill in a computerenvironment and how their emotions evolve as they attempt to transfer skills learned in computerenvironments to real world applications. Future research should also examine whether thefindings from this study are consistent across different tasks and different 2D and 3Dimplementations.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. DUE-1104181.

: IdeaKegClearly stated, there are innumerable tools for implementing creating problem solving techniquesin the classroom. One such tool is IdeaKegTM, a component of Kiln Ideas Ltd.’s broadercollaborative innovation framework known as FuseTrailTM which closely follows that of theOsborn-Parnes CPS model. We picked the IdeaKeg problem solving tool for several reasons.One is that the tool is used by companies for inventing new products and services. It also hasbeen associated particularly with generating ideas and solving problems for startup businesses,and we wanted our engineering students to model this experience in our curriculum. It includesprogressive layers of deepening associations for the participants, ending up with an example ofhow a problem was

An additional pressure on our faculty body can be anticipated, as we will berequired to meet to the demand from our constituents, as suggested by the survey results. Thesefacts fully support the creation of a new faculty line to be fulfilled by a new faculty member.Faculty Professional DevelopmentCurrency maintenance involves continuing scholarly activities and/or professional interactionsthat strengthen the faculty member's knowledge of his/her field and its interdisciplinaryadvancements, best business practices, newest technology

The goal was to provide students with hands-on designexperiences throughout the mechanical engineering curriculum. In this paper, the implementationof these hands-on design projects will be described. Students’ performances in these designprojects will also be presented. Student perceptions of these hands-on design projects have beenobtained through an end-of-semester survey and results will be discussed. Overall students feltvery positively about

targeted toward engineering design. The collaboration between two universities (LTU and UDM) and three different colleges (Biomedical, Mechanical and Nursing) combines the diverse backgrounds and capabilities of students. Multidisciplinary team of this kind are the norm in industry and require project management skills such as effective communication, decision making, resource gathering and scheduling of various tasks. Therefore, the students not only must demonstrate a prototype designed for specific customer need(s) but also the execution process followed by the teams. This requires the students to recognize their roles for contributions in the team.The following sections give a brief
pN-3 … p0. The digital DDFSuses the MSB (i.e., pN-1) as the square wave output. One interpretation is to treat the pN-1 bit as asignal that divides the output period into two equal parts (i.e., two equal phases). The values of 0and 1 are assigned to the two phases, respectively. It is possible to assign multi-bit values, suchas 2 and 7, for the amplitude, and the output wave will oscillate between 2 and 7 instead. Similarly, if two MSBs (i.e., pN-1 pN-2) are considered, the same period is divided into fourphases. Different values can be assigned to the four phases. The same concept can be extendedto S MSBs, which leads to 2S phases in a period. A phase-to-amplitude lookup table with 2Sentries can be created to define the shape of the

Next StepsDue to the overall positive effect of the case studies on student flowcharting performance, wewill continue implementing case studies. We will revise the case studies, taking into accountstudent and faculty opinions. This should include, for example, shortening Mind Games, whichuses all basic procedural programming concepts—such as input, sequencing, selection (if/else),repetition (for and while loops), and output—as well as including additional student-createdstories in the

hoc, abductive analysis represents a dialectic “conversation” between dataand theory. Abductive analysis follows an iterative cycle of hypothesis generation that couldexplain unexpected findings and then exploration of potential hypotheses within the data, whichwill often result in new unexpected findings and refinement of hypotheses. Abductive analysis is“complete” once a new theory is generated that can explain the unexpected finding(s) and issupported by the data.Thus, in this paper, we attempt to address the following research question through abductiveanalysis: What theoretical formulation can help explain why female engineering students were more likely to experience innovation in more comprehensive ways than male

-Term andSpring performance in terms of quantitative performance toward meeting each of the courseobjectives. In 2016, however, only 57% of students in the spring course met all three objectives(and 5 students met only one or none of the objectives), whereas 83% of students in the J-Termcourse met all three objectives. While this result falls just short of statistical significance for athreshold of α = 0.05 (Barnard’s test p = 0.083), it suggests a pedagogical deficiency in someaspect(s) of the Spring 2016 course (see Discussion).Analysis of Student Course Evaluations and CommentsAt the end of each term, students completed anonymous course evaluations answering multiplequestions relating to the course and to the instructor.

the setup placed outside in a patio near our lab space and this helped minimizethe mess with the water (there will be a lot of splashing during initial testing). When choosing afan, you want one that is at least 22 in in diameter, but something greater than 24 in creates alarge region of wind to harness. You will also want to provide students with a wind anemometer(it does not have to be fancy) and just make sure that the wind speeds are between 4.5 m/s and5.2 m/s at the high speed. This provides enough energy to be competitive.One of the secrets that students do not often realize until the end is that because our setup isplaced outside, most of the light energy does come from the sun (even though we place the setupin the shade).

The scaffolding of these activities makes it natural for studentsto revisit and compare with previous test results. Students were expected to complete activity 1during the class and finish the other two activities after the class. It was brought to theinstructor’s attention that some students skipped activities 2-3 in fall 2018, likely because theywere not collected or graded. Therefore

The clients are on the Autism spectrum, and we want to use art andtechnology to bring forth their creativity. We are not sure if it is the way of communication thatcaused this misunderstanding, or if the client that the student worked with was truly unhappy tobe there. During the second meeting, the clients all presented their Arduino programming work,and the helpers to the clients were amazed and said that they wouldn’t normally do so. When oneclient missed a meeting, that client would work at home and bring back the work to us. On theexhibit day, the clients dressed up and visited their project with
