also shows us something about the uniquecharacter of each of the disciplines. The sets of topics treated in required courses that are uniqueto each discipline show us that the computer engineer is more focused on topics integratinghardware and software in computing systems, that the software engineer is more focused onsoftware process, software design principles and practices, and software quality issues, and thatthe computer scientist must learn topics concerning theoretical concepts, programminglanguages, and compilers that are not required of the others. Sibling disciplines, indeed, but withdiffering underlying cultures and distinctive attributes.Bibliography1. Computing Curricula 2005: The Overview Report http://www.acm.org/education

Case studies have become a proven and pervasive method of teaching about professionalpractice in such fields as business, law, and medicine. Case studies can provide a means to simulatepractice, raise the level of critical thinking skills, enhance listening/cooperative learning skills

The co-op program at UC requires students toalternate between taking academic classes and working in full-time professional job assignments.While co-op is optional for some programs, it is a mandatory requirement for all engineeringprograms at UC, which are specifically designed as 5-year

not succeeding at attracting and retaining sufficient Page 22.1653.2students. A key problem is that computing education begins with extensive skill building focusedprimarily on learning to program. Because the first years of computing education focus onacquiring technical knowledge and skills, many students only view computing in these terms. Amissing aspect is student understanding of computational thinking in action. Also, studentstypically get little appreciation of the software engineering concepts and practices needed tobuild modern systems. Computing education needs to be altered to help students obtain a morecomprehensive view from the

skills, self-directed learning skills, and teamskills. There are a number of excellent examples of case studies in science and engineering at theSUNY-Buffalo web site [12]Although the use of case studies in education has shown success in the aforementioneddisciplines, it is yet to be adopted in any significant way in the computing education. One of thereasons for the lack of use of the case-study approach is the shortage of sufficient material forthis purpose. There are many software textbooks that use case studies (as examples to illustrateconcepts and techniques): [10] (several, including an Airline Reservation System and aHousehold Alarm System), [11] (Fireworks Factory), [13] (Picadilly Television and Ariane-5),[15] (SafeHome).

Second, we wanted students to achieve a deeper and more enduringlearning from our courses (rather than a superficial, short-term one), and inspired on Ken-neth Bain’s ideas, we decided to try two implementations of student reflection, namely alearning journal and a reflection questionnaire.Previous experiences on the use of reflection in engineering have been described by Gillet 4,Kelly 6, and Walther12. Previous work on learning portfolios has been described by Brown 1and Chang 2. The use of wikis to support learning in Computer Science has been reported byHamalainen 5 and Tsai 11.
