interdisciplinary curriculum, learning is less fragmented, and therefore students are provided with a more unified sense of process and content.  The interdisciplinary curriculum provides real-world applications, hence heightening the opportunity for transfer of learning.  Improved mastery of content results from interdisciplinary learning.  Interdisciplinary learning experiences positively shape learners' overall approach to knowledge through a heightened sense of initiative and autonomy and improves their perspective by teaching them to adopt multiple points of view on issues.  Motivation to learn is improved in interdisciplinary settings.” “Arguably all student work, interdisciplinary or otherwise, is (or

To address this gap in knowledge and facilitate the adoption of NGSS inChicago Public High Schools (CPS), the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Colleges ofEngineering and Education developed the innovative Bioengineering Experience for ScienceTeachers (BEST) program. This program pairs selected BEST applicants (Fellows) with severalUIC Bioengineering faculty members and their laboratories. Here, Fellows spend six summerweeks immersed in the laboratory environment, participating in individualized research projectsunder UIC Bioengineering faculty mentorship. During these six

The learning objective for the assignment is for each student toinvestigate and explain one real-world application of a concept in the course. To demonstrate thatthey have achieved this objective, each student writes a one-page, double-spaced, summarydescribing how their real-world application applies to a course topic. Then, to leverage the diverseexperiences of students in the course, each student is asked to share their application witheveryone in a short TED-style talk on the last day of class.

The motor skills they gain can then be used in real-worldexperiments.In addition to its uses in entertainment, training, and rehabilitation, VR simulations are beingused as educational tools.

Kolb’s experiential learning model is based on such transactions,where knowledge is created through the transformation of external, real-world experiences. Oneform of incorporating real-world experiences involves service learning, where students areactively involved with community-based experiences meeting one or more societal needs. It wasposited that repurposing the software application project to incorporate service learning conceptscould better serve the students involved. Therefore, in 2014 the project was revised in the spiritof experiential learning to meet the needs of clients from the field of education. The project hassince expanded to redirect the narrative

Five departments marketed oroffered a CS minor to student in other majors, and three departments created dual majors oronline post-baccalaureate programs for students majoring in other fields that have highconcentrations of women (i.e., biology and psychology). Explicitly drawing attention to the waysin which computing and other fields intersect enables students to understand the relevance ofcomputing to real-world, socially relevant applications, which also influence their commitmentto the major once enrolled [5].Finally, institutions made other systemic changes that likely contributed to attracting morewomen.

RTTD-ID aims to reduce frustration inidentifying and following an active speaker when there are multiple speakers, e.g., in a lab. It hasthree different display schemes to identify the location of the active speaker, which helps deafstudents in viewing both the speaker’s words and the speaker’s expression and actions.We evaluated three RTTD speaker identification methods: 1) traditional: captions stay in oneplace and viewers search for the speaker, 2) pointer: captions stay in one place, and a pointer tothe speaker is displayed, and 3) pop-up: captions “pop-up” next to the speaker.

While the academic and professionalbackgrounds of the two authors of this paper are considerably different, we also share quite a bit in common: inparticular, both of us have spent several years in high-tech industry prior to returning to the academic world asComputer Science faculty. In particular, when teaching various CS courses, we try to relate concepts and techniquescovered to the "real-world" applications, and in particular the recent and current technology challenges and R&D donein industry. We have applied this general philosophy to virtually all courses we have taught, including the verytheoretical ones -- such as those on Automata and Formal

Such learning deficiencies can be largely attributed to theineffectiveness of the traditional lecture-mode of teaching during which much effort is spent onthe analysis of discrete members, while less emphasis is devoted to understanding the behaviorof the entire structure in a three-dimensional (3D) structural context.In this study, we explore the potential of augmented reality (AR) to facilitate the teaching ofstructural analysis concepts. AR combines the real world with the virtual content so that itconserves users’ awareness of the real world environment in a 3D space [3]. It enables users tovisualize virtual objects and to interact with both real and virtual objects in the same context [4]thus extending their perception

However, limited resources make itdifficult or impossible to provide the full access needed to realize the real potential of the ECPenabled by these excellent modules. Even at institutions where students can easily afford theirown devices and parts kits, students outside of ECE often do not use them in more than one classand, thus, tend to sell them to classmates. This defeats the purpose of empowering students tolearn and apply electronics in new ways throughout their studies and careers.Using a device whose price is under $50 makes most of the application problems go away, if thedevice can be shown to work. Thus, in this paper, we address the general question of whatperformance criteria must be met

They particularly appreciated thepracticality and applicability of the case studies, the opportunity to hear from a real-world industrypartner, and the insight into industry jobs and how a project works from start to finish. In executionof the case studies, the biggest challenges were adapting the expectations of the students, balancingthe workload along with other course assessments, and encouraging the students to pace their work tooptimally interact with and engage with the industry partner.
