rapidly increasing expectations forstudents’ competencies in computing that went beyond simply word processing andspreadsheets. In response, our “Introduction to Computing” course was reengineered during theSpring 2014 semester with a four-pronged vision: (1) modernizing the curriculum by moving thecourse from a tools-based course to a computing-based course, (2) elevating student engagement,(3) scaling the course for growth, and (4) making the course relevant and accessible to anystudent, regardless of background or technology. Toward modernizing the curriculum, the course met with relevant stakeholders acrosscampus, surveyed top courses from other universities, and reflected on best practices from withinthe community of practice on

It isworth noting that previous work uses custom written software for Windows [2] and a web basedsoftware tool [3]. Both of these are very capable, and in many ways better, than the current tool.However, both require a greater knowledge of computer programming to adapt.As an aside, the obvious questions is ‘Why not use the existing data system?’ At WCU thestudent records system is based around Banner, by Elucian.

The rubrics have been modified to increaseefficiency, and steps have been taken to develop computer-based tools to collect, store andanalyze the data. Once all faculty realize that continuous improvement of the program dependson reliable assessment of student outcomes, the opportunity to introduce significant changes inthe curriculum will be evident.Perhaps the most important lesson learned thus far is that processes do not have to be perfectfrom the start.

The purpose of this study is to identify the various contributors to thiscontouring error, and in particular estimate the error due to stick slip motion usinganalytical techniques. It is planned to measure the errors experimentally making use ofcapacitance probes.
