Page 22.901.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Integrating Computing into Thermodynamics: Lessons Learned Even though computing has become pervasive in today’s workplace, many engineering curricula have lagged in creating engineers with computational aptitude. Computational-capable engineers are ones who can utilize computing effectively to solve engineering problems. Developing these computationally capable engineers means understanding that changes in the undergraduate engineering curriculum must recognize it’s context in an educational continuum. Starting from the first computing course, the computing skills need

IntroductionThe general idea of active learning is to engage students during lecture with a variety of thingsthat actively involve them in the material being presented. Through active engagement, studentsare highly encouraged to focus attention on the lecture. While active learning holds greatpromise, it also raises several important issues: designing materials for lecture that incorporateactive learning while keeping

Overall, the curriculum will be driven by the goal to increasestudents’ time spent coding, with topics such as computer storage and memory organizationadded in using a just-in-time teaching approach.We will continue to collect fine-grained data and analyze the newly collected data in order toupdate our early prediction classifiers. We recognize that it is not sufficient to simply be able topredict at-risk students early on. At the same time, we need to develop intervention strategies.Along with the overall course redesign we will furthermore develop individual studentintervention strategies, guided by our data analysis.By continuously re-analyzing and re-evaluating newly

difference in student performancebecause of the open-resource nature of the on-line quizzes and assignments. For both quizzes andexercises, students had a full week to complete each with open notes/lecture/resources. Theywere only asked not to discuss the quizzes and exercises amongst themselves. Thus, studentswho had not committed class concepts to memory still had the ability to look them up. Furtherwork could utilize proctored, time-limited exams to better ascertain differences in learning.References:1. Liu, M. and M.
