The Matlab syntax is similar to C, however it doesnot require explicit variable type declaration, memory management, or array sizing. MATLABalso has add-in toolboxes for specific purposes and tasks used in engineering-based courses.Once a toolbox is purchased and installed, all of the toolbox functions are immediately availableto the student, without explicit references to external libraries. Some of the prominent toolboxesused in many junior and senior engineering courses are Simulink, Simscape, Signal Processingand Image processing.This paper describes an introductory programming course for engineering students at WesternCarolina University (WCU).

Also,each university has different general education courses, some of them are university graduationrequirements and some of them are program requirements.In addition to the general education courses, we need to ask the students about their preferredcareer specialization. This is done by using a Questionnaire that addresses careers that are relatedto the programs offered at the university.There are also two other key factors that should be taken into consideration while we aredesigning our smart system: the kinds of subjects the student enjoys studying and the soft skillsthat the students have.

Aside from ease of use, this library was also designed to be easily extensibleby heavily utilizing polymorphism and current best practices in programmingincluding the use of Maven for dependency management. This results in apackage that can be easily enhanced to add in additional functionality in the futureand easily redeployed to provide students the enhanced functionality in a timelymanner.

. The keytakeaway from this visit was the need for students to understand supercomputing infrastructureand risk management. While our students are exposed to computer organization, and ourcomputer engineers are exposed to computer architecture, neither program has a solidunderstanding of the infrastructure needs for a modern data center. While the computingresources that we teach in our program are important, the main design challenges for the siteinvolved device cooling, auxiliary power capabilities, and data backups.From the cooling standpoint, modern devices are changing so quickly that not all devices areable to be liquid cooled. This is especially true of GPU devices. Thus, in many cases, thechallenge to deploying super computers is not

abstraction to students throughinstruction is emerging as a critical challenge to cultivating the next generation of computerscientists. Imbuing fluency in computing at several levels of abstraction has always beenchallenging, but it has become more difficult for a novice programmer to visualize in their mind ascomputers advance in complexity. Students feel they send their program into a “black box”, andthe results are spit back out. Learning concepts like memory management, logic design, andcomputational complexity are increasingly viewed by students as unnecessary nuisances insteadof critical skills. For example, students who grew up using Google Drive are having anincreasingly difficult time understanding basic concepts of traversing file systems

Hazzan et al assert this allows students to be engaged in their learning rather than abystander similar to what you might see in laboratories for the natural sciences [2].Prior engineering education research has clearly shown that inductive teaching styles in lecturesand lab sessions show the students the importance and application of the subject matter byshowing the students particular examples while challenging them to keep building concept byconcept to solve complex challenges [3] [4].

Despite the apparent advantages of a data-savvy workforce,engineering students often have negative attitudes and experiences with programming and dataanalysis. To improve these skill sets in engineering students, a course on environmental dataanalysis was developed and taught to a group of engineering graduate students (mostly civilengineering majors). The course relied on R and Excel and used R packages such as those in thetidyverse as well as modeling packages (e.g., fitdistrplus) and discipline-specific packages foraccessing environmental data (e.g
