comprehensive examination of first-year CS students reports that only approximately20% of the surveyed students could solve programming problems expected by their instructors [4].“Issues impacting students learning how to program” was the topic of an entire Computers inEducation Division technical session at the 2019 American Society for Engineering Education(ASEE) Annual Meeting [5]. Clearly, there is a need to explore new pedagogical approaches forteaching students how to program and design digital systems.Authors Jones and Mohammadi-Aragh are actively exploring literate programming (LP) as oneapproach to improving programming pedagogy [6–8]. In the LP approach, the programmer (author)composes the program (document) in a form that is readable by
the Learning Environments division, the idea to develop, oversee and assess engaging students to expand their knowledge and creativity by innovating new technologies application for Engineering Education is currently under way to engage the university and the community. Concluding, Mr. Lugo’s ambition is to encourage students to focus in science, technology and engineer abilities in order to expand their professional potential.Mr. Mike Thomas Pitcher, University of Texas, El Paso Mike Pitcher is the Director of Academic Technologies at the University of Texas at El Paso.

MET 31700 Machine Diagnosticsis a three-credit semester course that meets for two 50-minute lectures and one 110-minutelaboratory session per week. The course topics begin with theoretical vibration of single degreeof freedom systems.5 Experimental work is tied closely to theory whenever possible. Time andfrequency domain relationships are repeatedly noted, setting the foundation for analyzingvibration signals for diagnostic purposes. Phases are explored with respect to vibration vectorsand critical speeds. Corrective

Similarly, since the 1990s, service learning has beengaining acceptance as an instructional tool in engineering education.4

Session 2515 Revisiting the Question of Why Four Years Howard I. Epstein University of Connecticut, Storrs, CTIntroductionOver the years, there have been many programmatic models proposed and many voices callingfor a degree program, at least five years in duration, as the minimum required for a professionaldegree. The proposals have generally recognized the need for dramatic changes in the way inwhich engineers are educated. The following introduction is excerpted from the author’s paper"Why Four Years" that appeared in ASCE’s Journal of Issues in Engineering, Education

Our work is informed in part by Austin & Jones’ The Governance ofHigher Education [2], a book-length review of a diverse body of scholarship spanning multipledisciplines that speaks to the different social and organizational processes that exist for directingour diverse systems of higher education. However, rather than relying exclusively on establishedtheoretical frameworks we made use of grounded theory methods [3] to elicit, through ourinterviews, a wide range of comments about more ordinary, local, and diffuse processes that canbe found within the general arena of engineering education reform.
