% Final Exam 30% Table 1: Grading rubric for CS2.Assignments include 5 programming projects that focus on specific topics from the course.Projects typically consist of students writing code to build a program ranging in size from severalhundred lines of code to over 1,000. A few examples include a game driver for a Euchre cardgame, and a post-fix notation calculator. Students use the C or C++ programming languages tocomplete each project. Students participated in optional partnerships during projects 2 - 5, whileproject 1 was completed alone.Following are the topics of each project: • Project 1, Basic statistics: C++ readiness • Project 2, Lists and Trees: Recursion and Functional Generalization

abstract: verbally, numerically, graphically, and algebraically. Theinitial verbal phase is an opportunity to connect to the learners’ experience, which makes it easierto refer back to it at later phases. The whole sequence retraces the concept from its more specificto its most general phase: concrete to abstract.What numerically, graphically, and algebraically mean is clear to mathematicians; what is meantby verbally is not always obvious. One way of clarifying it is by connecting to the students’experience in the verbal phase by using everyday examples.The following are some examples of everyday examples used in the intervention: 1. Derivative: How fast does Usain Bolt run at a specific point in his 100-meter race? 2. The number e: Interest

administered only to students new to the program whilethe post-test was administered to all students. The reason the pre test was only administered to the newstudents is because the repeating MACILE students have had exposure to the TEE curriculum for one ormore years and their views of engineering and technology have likely changed in some ways over theperiods.In a prior work (Shumway et al., 2011) contrasted post-test responses to similar questions to analyze theDR student mental models for depth, complexity, or sophistication of thinking. The groups were labeled:Group 1, Group 2, Group3, and Group4.

Constitutive stress-strain relationships can be skillfullyapplied in a numerical model developed using the finite element method or finite differencemethod to reasonably predict the behavior of soil and soil-structure interaction1; however, astudent needs to believe what they are seeing is “true” in order for the teaching tool to beeffective.

In 208 a meta-analysis ofbridge programs focused on mathematics instruction was conducted5. Only 12 summerbridge programs for incoming engineering freshmen were identified for the study. Ofthose programs, 8 lasted 4-6 weeks, while one program was only one week. The one-weekprogram involved approximately 8 hours a day of solving mathematics problems. Thetotal time spent was comparable to the longer programs6. A high percentage of thosecompleting the program increased their mathematics scores, although small

The 2013 Open Doors report from the Institute for International Educationshows that nationally only 3.9% of engineering students studied abroad during theirundergraduate career [2]. In addition, despite the growing awareness of the benefits of studyabroad by students, the challenges preventing students from studying abroad are numerous andcomplex [2].

This feedbackincludes a formal grading of written work as well as a debriefing of the students from each oralevent. It is expected that the students will improve their performance from each feedback session,and that their performance will improve at each stage of the projects. The projects are intended tobe a chance for students to grow their newly formed knowledge with instructor oversight. Theprojects require the students to create test plans, gather data, and then make evaluations of thedata they have gathered, both for technical adequacy as well as to generate

The dramatic increase in oilrevenues during the 70s, and 80s, coupled with lack of skilled professionals in areas deemednecessary for growth and development of oil-related industries of the Region, has been pivotal inthe start-up of higher education in general and engineering in particular.

Compositematerials are manufactured with various matrix materials such as metals, ceramics and polymers.Out of these, polymers are being reinforced with fibers widely to manufacture composites. Thesecomposites are manufactured not only with specific mechanical and chemical properties foraviation and aerospace sectors but also for general use such as in sports goods, fluid containersand conduits, and vehicles for land and water transport.

In Afghanistan the USA and USSR and Germany built someengineering and technical vocational schools.The role of the technician was also stressed, and what has come to be known as “intermediateskills”. The UK realised that the relative success of American engineering, evidenced inindustries like aerospace that had been crucial in the Allied victory in the Second World War,was based on a well-developed education system, with particular emphasis on the developmentof draughtsmen (generally men in those days). It was also in the USA that “co-operativeeducation” emerged. In the UK this became the
