When Maple and Working Model were firstused in the course in 1994 the students were surveyed as to how they felt about these tools. In1999 this survey was repeated. The results of these surveys and additional assessment resultswill also be presented. Many changes have been made to the course, but the only significantimprovement in student performance occurred when the course was integrated with other coursesand the material was taught in a significantly different manner.I.

thedevelopment of an innovative delivery system. In 1993, a faculty committee consisting of representatives from various departments was formed by thedean to develop an “innovative curriculum” for the college. In carrying out the task, the committee consideredand used as reference several models from other institutions, including Drexel University’s “E4 EducationalProgram1” and the “Integrated, First Year Curriculum2” at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. The newengineering curriculum developed at the University of Miami had the following objectives: 1. Facilitate the transition of students from high school to college environment, 2. Expose students to engineering in their freshman year, 3. Make the study of mathematics, basic sciences

These intersections have multiple implications for educators in developing andscaffolding course assignments that will be explored in Phase 2 of the project.In our literature review, previously published in part at ASEE [9], we discussed that inengineering education research on engineering judgment, the context described by researcher andeducator resembles a closed-loop, naturalistic, decision making process much more than anopen-loop process. The term “closed-loop” is used in decision science to refer to decisionprocesses that incorporate monitoring and feedback to adjust decisions in response to emergentinformation in the decision context. This is opposed to “open-loop” where decision processesassume goals

Because the goal is for cadets to assimilate theprocess and programming concepts rather than become programmers, we use the RAPTORdesign tool, which greatly reduces the number of novice programmer mistakes1.Cadets generally did well on programming assignments gradewise. The assignments werebelieved to be valid assessments, and so it was reasonable to conclude that the cadets had anunderstanding of the general programming concepts, but something was lacking.

a world where computing and computing technologies are growing at an ever-increasing rate, students need meaningfully situated opportunities to learn how to thinkcomputationally. Defined as a creative way to approach tasks or problems using concepts,practices, and perspectives from computer science, computational thinking holds promise for alllevels of education, especially K-12 classrooms [1]. Efforts to advance computational thinking ineducation include increased attention to the dispositions that people display when engaging incomputational thinking [2]. The study described in this paper extends these efforts by examiningthe impact of a summer professional development institute on teachers’ computational thinkingdispositions. As

At that time we had a TA training program that was administered by the University Centerfor Teaching Excellence and offered to new TA’s from all departments during the week preceding the first day ofclass. The program consisted of a two-hour long session on “what to do on the first day of class” followed by atwo-hour long practice session. Foreign TA’s underwent additional six-hour long discussion session onAmerican classroom culture.
