Assurance (QA) course that integrates evidence from research andnew developments in software testing as well as engineering education. The specific goals are:1. To incorporate empirical studies in software engineering to supplement instruction in testing of all aspects, including safety, security, reliability, and performance.2. To increase focus on particular topics of high relevance such as formal testing of safety- critical systems and software inspection through targeted pedagogical interventions.3. To leverage existing instructional materials from the software engineering education community to create and explore blended learning models such as a flipped classroom.4. To integrate and promote inclusive and reflective teaching practices in

This lab included two problems. The firstproblem was to reproduce a class diagram involving six classes. Its primary purpose was to teachthe students how to use the tool. The second problem mirrored the exam question, in whichstudents were to model an electronic book reader with a display and collections, books, articles,and pages. Full details are given in the first report on UMLGrader.10 The expected answer is inFigure 3. This lab comprised the only review of the material between the first and second exams.

Page 26.230.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Are Automated Assessment Tools Helpful in Programming Courses?AbstractAutomated assessment tools (AATs) are growing in popularity in introductory programmingcourses, but researchers may have a difficult time synthesizing valid data to draw conclusionsabout the tools’ usefulness. Our first step addressing this issue was to break down our overridingquestion—are automated assessment tools helpful in programming courses?—into four morespecific questions: (1) Have AATs proven to be helpful in improving student learning? (2) Dostudents think that AATs have improved their performance? (3) After having used the tools

in contemporary softwareengineering principles, the experimental version of the course incorporated the followingvariations:1. The laboratory project now involves open-source mobile application development;2. The hybrid design methodology (waterfall and XP) is further explored by incorporating two or more development cycles into the project, while additional classroom activities further understanding of connections between the development process and application needs;3. Five active-learning sessions are included to enable reflection on past co-operative education or internship experiences and relate them to classroom learning. The objective of this novel pedagogical strategy, which we call UnLecture, is to bridge the gap between

After the session, students documented the last section of the rubric (reflection). The following are some excerpts from reflection:  “All of my experience has been in very small teams and it was interesting to hear about teams that were 25+ people …and about teams that were international and the benefits and difficulties of having people working at different time zones across the world.”  “It [the course team model] is different from my internship, where I was stuck alone for a long time with frequent unclear instructions.”  “It was interesting to see how their [fellow students'] co-ops were
