Given successwith pilot programs, the institution will have proof that the program is feasible, even successfulat the present size, with the present personnel and with the present cohort structure. If thepresent size however involves uncharacteristically small class sizes and if the present personnelare the most dedicated teachers, then this does not allow the conclusion that the program will besuccessful when fully implemented. Moreover a pilot program normally does not offer “trailingsections”. This means that students who are unsuccessful in a class will leave the pilot programand be caught by the traditional curriculum. This makes for an uncharacteristic student bodystarting in the second term of

For this regional ASEE meeting session, we focus on“engineering for good” based within the United States as a small case study, however, ourresearch team has plans to do more expansive mapping of engineering for good within NorthAmerica and Latin America in the near future.We propose a future community-based mapping of engineering for good programs and initiativesto identify common themes, resource management strategies, and potential partnerships andnetworks.

Thispaper will present such situation, with the case of a portable cloning chamber.A portable cloning chamber is basically a small clean room. This chamber is used in greenhousesfor tissue culture and cloning of plant life. It is an enclosure that should remain sterile whilebeing used to do plant cloning in a greenhouse environment. The chamber remains sterilethrough the use of laminar flow hoods and HEPA filters, thus controlling as well the flow ofclean air through the chamber. Another component that help in keeping the level of sterility isultraviolet lights, which kills existing bacteria thus

This is because of the large amount of material that must be covered,the wide diversity of introductory courses in the sponsoring departments, and the limitations oftime in our already compressed undergraduate curriculum. Although progress has been made inthis direction, and a new course is being taught, we anticipate that significant renovation of thisfoundation course is still required Apart from this issue, our program is

coverage isthat it does not consider the pre- and post-conditions of functions verified by a test suite. Forexample, consider a function that divides two numbers and should throw an exception when thedenominator is zero. If the function fails to check for division by zero, a test suite without a testcase that passes in zero as the denominator could still achieve 100% coverage, even though thetest suite is incomplete. Mutation testing attempts to address this shortcoming. The goal ofmutation testing is to evaluate a test suite’s ability to expose errors in a program. 6 The process ofmutation testing begins with making small modifications to a program’s syntax tree, usually withan automated tool. Each modified version of the syntax tree is saved as

This implies that an educationalintervention applied in one context will not necessarily have the same effect in other contexts.For example, Hawisher and Pemberton relate an instance where an asynchronous learningnetwork was applied in a small course for students to discuss readings outside of class.20 Theinstructors expected students would be excited to discuss the readings and this application wouldresult in many insightful posts by students. Instead, students made very few posts, and thesewere largely summaries of the readings. After some investigation, it was found that the studentswere making posts
