modes. Students enrolled in the Master of Science in Sustainable Engineering(MSSE) must complete a traditional, independent research thesis and defend it before theirresearch committee in order to graduate. The expectation is that the research thesis makes aunique contribution to the Sustainable Engineering body of knowledge. The MSSE program isdesigned to appeal to students who desire a true research experience and wish to cultivate theirresearch skills. Students enrolled in the Master of Engineering in Sustainable Engineering(MESE) must complete an applied “capstone project” in order to graduate. Students can engagecapstone projects as part of a team, or they can work individually to fulfil the requirement.Usually, students working on a

Education, 2020 Improving computer science lab feedback methodsIn computer science, programming courses such as Java, C, Python, C++, the computer science(CS) lab plays the most significant role in helping freshmen students to learn the coding for thefirst time. In the labs, students work on some programming assignment problems and submit themon an online platform to be graded by instructors. The labs are designed to get students hands-oncoding and implement the programs on the computer. Traditionally, the grading feedback isprovided after a week or more, many of which are ignored by the students. As such, in this work,a one-on-one grading feedback methodology on completion of the program in the lab wasconducted. Along with

. Faculty participation varies from institution to institution, fromdepartment to department, and even within departments. Instructors express resistancetowards using quality language and tools because it would allow students to have an activeinvolvement in classroom management. Tracking course effectiveness, as a way to improveteaching and learning, is not emphasized in the traditional higher education culture. This culturegives greater importance to research when evaluating a professor’s performance. Theexistence of tenure has been singled out as one of the major reasons why teaching is not givenits right value. However, the discussion about tenure is nothing else but a good excuse to makeno change and maintain the status quo. Despite of this

Various forms of web-based assessment methods do raise relevant issuessuch as access, rights, security, scheduling, delivery and some difficult issues such asstudent identity validation, performance certification, and academic integrity for university-level courses taught online for credit. Driscoll (1999) suggested a needs-assessment with themes related to how peoplelearn on the web and noted the following: (1) the importance of the systemic design of theinstruction model, (2) the centrality of self-directed learning, (3) the strong relationshipbetween educational themes, and (4) the identification of distinct kinds of web-basedtraining.
