This lab plays asignificant role in preparing students for such upper-level courses with more practicalprojects such as courses on “Embedded Systems”, “Testing of Digital Circuits”, but mostimportantly, students take a great deal of experience from the lab and apply it to their seniorcapstone projects, as well as, in their future careers.3.1 Course Content and Outcomes The following lists some of the educational goals and the students’ acquired knowledge and skills upon completion of our digital logic laboratory course: o Design and implementation of logic circuits: theory, simulation, physical circuit o Introduction to TTL Gates o Design with small-scale integration (SSI) and medium-scale integration (MSI

Powered by www.slayte.com Sensitivity Preservation and Precision of Plagiarism Detection Engines for Modified Short ProgramsAbstractSource code plagiarism presents a continual threat to the integrity and effectiveness ofengineering education, as habitual cheating often has devastating impacts on students’ academicand professional careers. As programming becomes an increasingly central component offirst-year engineering curricula, it is essential that instructors are able to uphold academicintegrity by identifying students who engage in misconduct, either through direct plagiarism orexcessive peer collaboration. Instructors have an arsenal of plagiarism detection tools at theirdisposal, and students are keenly

(It can be argued that this is typical of all people, who put the most time andenergy into actions that are most rewarding for them.) In specs grading, the overall grade isoften linked to the number of learning outcomes that are mastered. This means that for a studentwhose goal is a “C,” they might opt not to take a reassessment, or to meet a lower bar for a termproject. Alternatively, it can inspire students to master one or two more learning outcomes inorder to move up to the desired grade level. The key is that it is the student’s decision, and it is amore clear-eyed decision in the specs grading environment. It should

Two exceptional educators reached out during the research to say that they were no longerin the country, having just begun their academic and professional careers abroad. These starkrealities were further expounded by the deans and provosts of the College of engineering whodiscussed how difficult it was to fill the entry-level positions of faculty in their engineeringprograms, most of whom, they claimed had decided to resign and continue their

The in-person version of CPSS 100 meetsonce a week for approximately 90 minutes and is designed to build community among students,acclimate students to campus life, build relationships between students and program faculty,foster career development, and introduce the STS Postures (described below). The first thirtyminutes of class time are typically spent as a whole group with the faculty instructors coveringthe main themes of the day through a mix of lecture and group activities. In the last hour,former-STS-student TAs lead activities that reinforce the STS Postures and topics covered in thefirst 30 minutes. To adapt to online instruction, the instructors recorded a “lecture” for studentsto watch and respond

As one student noted, “The labs were a good way to build basic lab skills andexposure for students who were previously unable to work in a college lab”. By the end of thecourse, 87% agreed or strongly agreed with the survey comment, “Gaining hands-on lab skills isan important part of this course. I believe it should be continued, possibly with more labs, infuture years.”Figure 2: Comparison of students’ confidence in their lab skills before and after completing each of thethree labs. While most students (63%) felt confident with their pipetting skills prior to Lab 1, almost all thestudents (90%) felt confident post-lab. The increase

Instead, they sought to understand the differences in perceptions ofpair programming between female and male students in an introductory programming coursethrough thematic analysis of survey questions. A majority of men and women had positivesentiments around pair programming. The positive themes included improved learningexperience, gaining career skills, and networking, many of the very same benefits suggested bysocial constructivist learning theory. Women reported that they experienced social benefits, suchas improved confidence, more often than men. Men reported experienced benefits to the overallprocess of completing lab

We can understand and often talk, but are they absorbingwhat they need to be able to do to be successful in their career? So that is a kind of change ofmind from the faculty-centered to more student-centered, learning focused.” Relatively,teaching technology, teaching method or learning method may be indirectly impacted byaccreditation, as Mr. Miller argued, “there are people here who are from our classes.
