allthe team peer ratings is certainly more time-consuming for the instructor. Even the students whodislike working in teams understand the necessity of learning how to do so effectively for theirfuture careers. Some students, as predicted from their learning styles, also dislike active,cooperative work even if it does improve outcomes. Any instructor will certainly understand thechallenge of finding the appropriate mix of activities for all the students who take their courses ifthey consider the data from the ILS carefully. It is certainly challenging to find the bestcombination of activities for a large number of individual learners, each having their own uniqueneeds.

, the problem-solving techniques that are learned in one context can be generalized and applied to other contexts. Instructors can draw parallels between different types of problems and show how the problem-solving techniques can be applicable beyond a single class. This can be useful for those students who have less work experience as well as those who see their engineering degree as part of a career Page 24.1118.14 pathway into management, law, or other fields.VI.

, the phrase‘current scenario’ in F6 could either mean a sudden change in the traffic condition aroundthe vehicle not yet detected by the FM traffic alert service, or a mechanical problem with thevehicle itself. Students need to be trained to identify and resolve such conflicts in an indepen-dent manner to be successful not only during their initial Software Engineering careers butalso throughout their professional lives. To that end, we designed this learning activity as anincremental, semester-long practice assignment.After clarifying different aspects of the application domain through a few initial meetingswith the clients, the students were given a lab assignment to create domain dictionaries12for the system.

Howeveranticipated funding to support this effort did not materialize, so a rigorous evaluation has not yetbeen performed. Additionally, the desire to draw any clear conclusions regarding itseffectiveness is also hampered by the small sample size. To date, only four cohorts – a total of84 students including those who are currently enrolled – have taken this class. And since thestudents from the first cohort have yet to graduate, the full impact of this pedagogy on theiracademic careers is just now being assessed.

Moreover, this deficiency leaves students underprepared to meet the programming andcomputational demands of many engineering careers upon graduation. Recognizing thesechallenges, we seek to redesign CS 101 to better align with the needs of engineeringstudents.Previous research provides valuable insights into CS1 redesign.
