for Engineering Education, 2019 Developing a Studio Model Computer Curriculum for First Year Undergraduate StudentsAbstractThis paper describes what was learned while implementing a reinvented undergraduate computertechnology curriculum during the first two years of its rollout. The paper includes the activitiesof the freshman cohorts of computer students who were the first to experience the curriculumredesign.Perhaps the biggest paradigm shift in the new curriculum was the adoption of the studio model ofinstruction. Borrowed from other traditions such as art and architecture, the studio provides ahands-on approach to learning that is ideal for computing students; particularly for the largepercentage of
graphics [2,p. 30]. Computer-based learning allows students to receive immediate feedback by answeringpractice problems and incorporating low stakes graded assessments. This technology helps tokeep students accountable for remaining current with the course materials [4, p. 22]. Anothertechnology that enables students to have the necessary content is electronic books (e-books). E-books allow students to read and reference the course textbook virtually. As technologyimproves, e-books are being modified to be read on mobile devices, which enables true remotelearning from almost any location [9]. Providing feedback to students is essential for them to realize strengths and weaknesses.A challenge for the online learning environment is having
of the Office of Naval Research. It examines the concept of making in orderto develop skills for active duty personnel in 3D printing, computer aided design, and reverseengineering. As part of the Creating the Fleet Maker project, educational materials, and hands-on activities, based on STEM concepts, were developed for a 2-day workshop. During the firstyear of the project, a series of five workshops were delivered, with a total of 92 active active-duty sailors attending the workshops. This paper presents the lessons learned during the firstseries of workshops, including successes, challenges encountered, how these challenges wereovercome, as well as areas for improvement as the project enters its second year.

In total, 15Creating the Fleet Maker workshops will be executed and assessed. Each workshop is designedfor 20 sailors. The content delivered in the workshop is focused on the following STEM areas: a)computer aided design, b) reverse engineering, c) additive manufacturing, d) solid mechanics andmaterial testing, and e) product lifecycle management and part retrieval. The following sub-sections will briefly outline these subject areas grouped under modules.Module: Dive into Printing The first module starts with a lecture session

The curriculum also enabled learners to adaptsuch systems using pre-existing components of other systems, through manufacture of as-designed components or through the design and manufacture of new components using additivemanufacturing technologies.The following sections include an overview of the development and implementation of coursecurriculum and the computer-based learning platform. The data presented are based on twoworkshops taught to military personnel. These workshops served as a case-study and providedvaluable feedback on the pedagogical approach, the learning platform, and curriculum modules.The paper concludes with suggestions for modifications and future applications.BackgroundThis work was sponsored
that supports adaptability throughout the design anddevelopment cycle. Additionally by embedding concepts in game play similar to well-knownboard games such as Battleship, computer games such as Minesweeper, and console or mobilegames such as Guitar Hero, students will use their calculus and physics skills to complete tasksin a familiar environment. The game itself consists of a series of sub-games each focusing on atopic that students traditionally struggle to understand. Furthermore, students will be offeredaccess to learning resources and assessed regularly as they progress through the game.CAPTIVATE overcomes some shortcomings from the previous development.

I learned what resistors,potentiometers, and capacitors were. I learned how to create and print circuits with a computer,how to test them with oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer, and how to solder the parts together.These were all new to me before, but I learned them over the course of the project.I greatly enjoyed this whole project, but my favorite part was the hands on aspect, when I got tobuild real circuits with physical pieces, instead of on the computer. I especially liked solderingthe final board together, even though it was sometimes a bit frustrating. I only had a

In the model, sophomores engage by learning the skills associated with directleadership of individuals and small teams and the management of duties. In a sophomore-leveltechnical writing course (required of all engineering and computer science majors), sophomore-level leader development was assessed using the institution’s criteria. These small teams had ahands-on, technical assignment that lasted several weeks. There was a difference in leadershipskills and communication skills observed between the traditional students with their formalleadership curricula and the student veterans. Student peers consistently rated student veteranshigher in all areas of the leadership attributes

Rather, the student-veterans worked toestablish clear criteria and expectations for each member of the team to include requirements forstudents to make the competition’s travel team and criteria for meeting and workgroupattendance. In this way, student-veterans provided a transparent and fair means of assessing eachindividual’s contribution to the project which ultimately led to the team’s success.The competition also required each team to work with a mentor who was certified
………. ACE teams use Bloom’s Taxonomy to help them analyze their alignment of credit recommendations and validate the learning outcomes….. The decision to recommend credit will be based on the team's consensus. No formula exists for making the judgment on credit equivalency which helps potential veteran college students develop a greater sense of interpersonal and intellectual competence [10]. If the consensus is not to recommend credit, the team is still required to identify the learning outcomes, methods, and topics of instruction, in addition to providing a short justification for why the team is not recommending credit
