indecision, thus decreasing the number of semesters students take to graduate.There are concomitant decreases in student attrition and cost per student. Leveling (the process of bringing all students to essentially the same skill/awarenesslevel) ensures that all students have a common base thus diminishing frustration of both theadvanced and the less well-prepared students. The instructors of subsequent courses can expectall students to be competent with a basic set of educational “tools” or skills. Research shows that cornerstone courses have, in general, been successful in meeting oneor more of these objectives1,2. Brigham Young University (BYU) has developed a course toaddress all three of these goals. In addition the BYU faculty has

The desire to fill this knowledge gap is themotivating factor of this study.Procedure As mentioned in the abstract, this study extends the Genheimer & Shehab reports bystudying programs in engineering technology. In their model, Genheimer & Shehab identifyeight objectives of an IAB. In a related study,6 Rooney and Puerzer identify eleven objectives,which overlap those of Genheimer & Shehab but have more emphasis on recruiting both studentsand new faculty and stronger emphasis on research. They make the cogent point that the role ofIABs is strictly advisory, and they have no policy-making power. They also comment that theroles of IABs change

Developing Strategies to Improve Student Engagement, Learning and Enjoyment of Introductory Computer Science CoursesProfessor Heather Marriott – Computer, Electrical and Software Engineering DepartmentEmbry-Riddle Aeronautical UniversityAbstract - Introductory computer science courses have traditionally been taught using a lecture-based style, and this is perpetuated by the computer science community continuing to teach inthe style in which they were taught. While educational research has proven the effectiveness ofactive learning in the classroom, many computer science professors find it difficult in incorporatethese techniques into their classrooms.
