ofinspections in software industry (i.e. to save rework cost, effort, and time), academia should alsoprioritize training students with early quality assurance skills (i.e. inspections) during SDLC.Therefore, this research reports the results from a practical training experience to help studentsimprove their understanding of inspection which in turn, would improve their inspectionperformance. This paper presents results of an academic study on the effect of reflection(training) technique on thirteen graduate and twenty-six undergraduate students on theirinspection performance. The participants individually inspected two different requirementdocuments using fault-checklist method and recorded faults pre and post reflection. We analyzedthe impact of
. Through this progression they were able to master most if not all of the challengesand learning outcomes.In this paper we will look at some examples of sessions based on these learning blocks and wewill examine if the camp met the expectations of the campers based on pre- and post-activitiesfor particular learning blocks and the end of camp surveys. We will also look at their level ofengagement during activities as well as how formative assessment was built into the campthrough one of the self-reflection pieces that was part of the process.Materials and MethodsThe primary design strategies for our camp were based on the implementation of learning blocks,which were strongly focused on formative assessment strategies, Blooms Taxonomy
successful performance onwell-structured problems is not a predictor of success on ill-structured problems becausefundamentally different reasoning skills are needed.7 While well-structured problems are oftensolved once an appropriate algorithm has been identified and used, solving ill-structured problemsinvolves skills such as argumentation and reflective design to robustly identify the problem itselfbefore considering potential solutions.9,10 Success in the setting and solving of ill-structuredproblems has been linked to metacognitive strategies,7,9 specific cognitive skills such asanalogical reasoning,11 and epistemological beliefs.12,13 Analogical reasoning is a higher orderthinking process whereby novel problems are interpreted as an amalgam of
developing skills and understanding where the abilities and tools for learning gainedfrom various life stages (e.g., childhood) and various sources (e.g., schooling) provide a contextand resource for learning and performing in later life.8 Lifelong learning capability is seen whenan individual or group reflects on the current situation and resolves to address a problem, toshare an idea, or to do research and further study to gain a better understanding of the situation.Thus, lifelong learning happens serendipitously in the workplace, at home, and at play, as part ofdaily living.Some authors have written on the role of technology in lifelong learning.

losingcommunication with the RPS system.Beyond the level of accuracy provided, the system does face other limitations. Reflected lightand glare inhibit QR code detection when said glare occurs adjacent to the QR code itself.Detection is also inhibited when QR codes are not perpendicular to the camera. The system canhandle most skewing of QR codes less than 20°, however larger angles result in loss of detectionwhile moving and severe angles can prevent stationary QR codes from being detected at all.CostThe cost of the system for support of one course was approximately $6,000. This estimateincluded the 8020 aluminum structure, the cost of the LabVIEW and NI vision software, thecomputer, and the electronics of the system. The effective cost of the system for
learners work hand-in-hand withindustry experts, academic researchers, and data scientists to elicit the type of design behaviorsthat reflect real world engineering practice in the aerospace industry. This allows us to develop,test, and refine the instrumentation methodology, data architectures, analytics, and visualizationapproaches before interfering with the day-to-day work within an organization. In the context ofour work, a program called AerosPACE was developed not only as a senior capstone course, butalso to serve as a test bed.AerosPACE is an engineering education program developed by a large US aerospace company.The primary goal of this program is to bridge the gap between theory and application, (and tohelp students understand the
