The course was taught for the first timeduring the Fall 2012 semester and is being taught for the second time during the Fall 2013semester. The course design is based on blended learning approach3 to facilitate integration ofadvanced technological resources (ICME Cyberinfrastructure) with traditional pedagogicalpractices (textbook, Mark F. Horstemeyer, “ICME for Metals” 4).The interdisciplinary course curriculum is fragmented into independent learning modules witheach module focusing on teaching different material length scales with its respectivecollaborative student group assignments and

Shift the function of undergraduate courses from imparting content at the Knowledge level to instead improving the student’s learning process to reach the Synthesis and Evaluation levels. 2. Increase the amount of material or class size while continuing to achieve learning outcomes.Despite previous work comparing the efficacy of hand-on, simulated, and remote laboratories[15]-[17], the debate regarding different approaches to course and laboratory instruction methodshas not been settled in general and

The content contained in computerethics is very different from the technical courses computer science faculty completed asgraduate students. In other words, computer science faculty are unlikely to have prior training orprevious teaching experience in computer ethics. The National Science Foundation (NSF) hasrecognized this problem and is supporting projects that seek to develop computer scienceteachers' knowledge and understanding of computer ethics and how to teach computer ethics.This paper focuses on one such NSF funded project (NSF CCLI-DUE: 9952841), DevelopingOn/Off-line Computer
