to help students with algorithmicthinking and problem solving using computing.These courses aim to educate students to model problems relevant to their specific engineeringdiscipline, solve these problems using modeling tools (including a range of software platforms,such as Excel with VBA), and then to analyze the solutions through decision support (i.e., tobecome “power users” not programmers).Other departments in the College of Engineering have expressed interest in reviewing theirintroductory computer programming course requirement and implementing a course similar tothose already developed in TE, ISE and CBE.

nanoHUB Simulations as Learning Tools.IntroductionSimulations can provide a critical element of learning experiences. Simulations are alsobecoming a critical part of computational science, which is being described as the third- 1leg in this century’s methodologies of science (Sabelli, et. al, 2005) . Opportunities existto use the same simulation as both a tool for experts and a learning environment ofnovices. What needs to be done to accomplish this duality of a simulation resource?The Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN) has developed an infrastructurenetwork to help transform nanoscience to nanotechnology through online simulation andtraining.

about their usage. We have developed and implemented an entropy based method forthe verification of academic integrity. This tool was implemented primarily for a freshmanundergraduate programming course with a yearly enrolment of more than 1000 students. Evenwith significant resources and effort dedicated to ensuring academic integrity, the result wasdifficult to quantify. Further compounding the challenge was the fact that computer programsource code has rigidly defined constructs and syntax, thus a simple text comparison couldindicate a high level of similarity that might implying a lower level of integrity. Conversely, twologically identical programs could be written with different variable names where a simple textcomparison could indicate

A typicaltest that is used is a circular test in which the machine is programmed to travel along acircle, and the difference between the programmed path and the measured actual path iscompared. The purpose of this study is to identify the various contributors to thiscontouring error, and in particular estimate the error due to stick slip motion usinganalytical techniques. It is planned to measure the errors experimentally making use ofcapacitance probes. The study is intended to develop an appreciation for the sources ofdifferent errors produced in a machine tool and as such forms a module in a typicalsemester long class devoted to manufacturing processes.INTRODUCTIONComputer controlled machine tools
