He has taught middle school mathematics, engineering, and science and both undergraduate science and graduate teaching courses at Harvard. His research interests include assessment of students’ misconceptions and how they change with instruction, K-12 curriculum development, the transition to college of students who wish to purse STEM careers, pre-college engineering, and the professional development of teachers. Dr. Sadler has won the Journal of Research in Science Teaching Award, the American Institute of Physics Computers in Physics Prize, the American Astronomical Society Education Prize, and the American Association
. Results and discussionThis section summarizes the experimental results obtained from this study. A comparative studywas also accomplished to verify the effectiveness of the methodologies using the base line data.CS102-“Introduction to Programming I” has been chosen as one of the STEM pilot coursesbecause it is the first programming course and also the pre-requisite of many other core course inthe computer science curriculum at AAMU. Underperforming students in CS102 are very likelyto struggle or fail in other courses afterwards. Therefore, CS 102 has been considered as a criticalgateway course in computer science. Table 1 lists the students learning outcomes andcorresponding assessment methods. The same eight outcomes were assessed in fall 2016
perspective on how a training program might be set up usingreal-world experiences in HCI. Seffah & Metzker18 discuss why HCI training should becomepart of the core curriculum in computer science; they also suggest that training in both fieldsshould be part of hiring managers’ employment criteria for software engineers.Integrating the Software Development TeamsFor a truly integrated process there needs to be an integration of software engineering and HCIfrom start to finish. For example, the requirements gathering process needs to be accomplishedby team members with expertise from both disciplines, continuing through planning, modeling,coding, testing, and deployment. Those with usability expertise will most likely focus on theuser interface
A Multidisciplinary Engineering Computation Module for Introductory Courses in Engineering Technology John W. Blake Austin Peay State UniversityAbstractTopics selected for introductory courses in engineering technology and in engineering shouldhelp students decide if they want to pursue the degree and, if so, to prepare them for work intheir later courses and in their careers. The topics should be applicable in different areas oftechnology. The author has found that a module on computations using rates and capacitiesmeets these criteria and is a useful addition to a first year course. This paper discusses thismodule and describes the

Delp, Maribel Figuera, Mustafa Kamasak, James V. Krogmeier, Catherine P.

mounting a campaign to a) take computer science to the high schools, b)increase the visibility of computing as a career, and c) develop curriculum and studies on how toconvey an appealing message that describes the opportunities and challenges of the field24.Compounding this problem is the fact that once we have prospective majors in the classroom,their prospects for success are not great. Low enrollments and high DFW rates are obviouslyconnected.

RemarksTable 3. Workshop Day Three Schedule.Workshop ParticipantsWe were able to draw participants from a range of demographic and disciplinary backgrounds,including computing, education, engineering, social science, data science, copy editing, labororganizing, and curriculum development. We were particularly happy to have a relatively highpercentage of graduate students participate, and we look forward to seeing the excellentscholarship and advocacy that they will produce in the future. While we did not explicitly decideto exclude senior scholars from our event, we realized afterward that a benefit of not havinghigh-profile scholars was that the junior scholars and students may have felt more comfortablesharing their perspectives.

ready to apply to capstone design projects. The background knowledgeneeded to learn microcontrollers does not require typical engineering prerequisites such ascalculus or dynamics. Assuming that microcontroller programming (programming in C) will betaught as part of the microcontroller curriculum, only basic computer skills are needed from thestudents. Most incoming students have the knowledge to get started in microcontrollers.Another advantage is that the students will learn these skills without adding classes to the Page 14.1258.2curriculum.
