Although the teachers and administrators were pleased with the progress made duringthe program’s initial four years, there was consensus that ample opportunity for improvementremained. Student behavior was a major issue which needed to be addressed – the teachersvoiced concerns that a substantial number of low-achieving students persisted in the

The design with a set of users in mind, as opposedto their instructor or themselves, is a new idea for most students as they primarily program tosatisfy a course requirement in most of their early courses. When undertaking an open ended and rather extensive system development project, studentsneed to grapple from the start with developing specifications carefully. In addition, students need torealize that they must build a system that matches the specification without modifications along theway to the specification because of problems encountered during design activities or implementa-tion itself. The usual ad hoc manner of dealing with design problems becomes an issue that cannotbe resolved at

Based upon extensive literature studies (see Section II)and our own anecdotal experience in certain courses that currently utilize a mobile studioapproach, such as the embedded systems sequence, we are proposing an integration of the mobilestudio approach throughout the new semester-based curriculum.In addition to elucidating the benefits of the mobile studio approach, the educational researchliterature also provides common themes on best practices for successful implementation. Thesebest practices were considered in the context of the needs of the proposed Electrical Engineeringsemester

diverse fields—from healthcare toeducation—consumers, researchers and policymakers are increasingly raising concerns aboutwhether and how AI is regulated. It is therefore reasonable to anticipate that alignment withprinciples of ‘ethical’ or ‘responsible’ AI, as well as compliance with law and policy, will form anincreasingly important part of AI development. Yet, for the most part, the conventional computerscience curriculum is ill-equipped to prepare students for these challenges. To this end, we seek toexplore how new educational content related to AI ethics and AI policy can be integrated intoboth ethics- and technical-focused courses. This paper describes a two-lecture AI Policy Modulethat was piloted in a graduate-level introductory machine

You just end up doing it. I think people who have good experiences and say they learned relationship-building and communication skills probably just had a better team.” Some students expressed concerned about the siloed approach to teamwork: “It teaches really how to form a collaboration in which people end up—like one person will do all of the CAD, which just teaches you to silo things.” “I think the inherent issue is that the classes that do teach those skills don’t force

For sharing Word, Excel, and PDF format files the team used Google Drive which wasvery successful as the team could edit, read, and review different parts of the same document atthe same time. In addition, all the files autosave frequently so the chances of losing work totechnical computer issues were non-existent. Lastly, the team used an application called GitHubto share the technical Matlab and Simulink Files on a week-to-week basis. GitHub is like a libraryin the project, a member of the team could make a new file (book), save it, and then push it intoour repository (library) and then other teammates can pull (check out) the file and make edits.

issues and concerns resurfaced and, on a retreat, the new faculty beganits own pedagogical discourse informed by, but separate from the one it had inherited. A preliminary question which probes one’s central conception of what it means to teachis “Has the teacher taught if the student hasn’t learned?” Attempts to arrive at an answer haveproven, at least for me and colleagues of mine, productively inconclusive. The simple answer, “No, if the student hasn’t learned, I haven’t taught,” has a certainchivalrous ring, but does not satisfy for a number of reasons. To always be true, it must posit auniversal, ideal student whose desire to learn, even if buried but accessible, is so great that onlybad teaching can stand in its way. The voice

For problem solving and design, most respondents teach andassess it with very small percentages in the other areas. Given that problem solving isconsidered an essential part of engineering, it is good that 95% of instructors are teaching andassessing this.
