He saves it in his designated storage area. A systemsadministrator, who routinely scans student files for pornographic pictures (studentsdownloading pornographic pictures crowd out other students with more legitimate purposes),finds the Cookbook in the student’s files. What is the student doing with this information:satisfying his curiosity or planning for something more sinister?Case #2: A student takes a computer systems class in which she learns how to deal withcomputer viruses.

Our initial testingshowed that each user would be testing for extended periods of time—several hours of test time,which we determined to be unreasonable. Additionally, there is a learning bias as each task isrepeated on a subsequent platform. We propose to control for this bias and also shorten the

Constructivism is thedominant theory of learning today, the basis of which is that students must actively constructknowledge rather than passively absorb it via lectures. According to Ben-Ari

While only a few of our students arrive oncampus with experience in using (e.g. programming) such devices through commercial productssuch as Lego Mindstorms, most students do express an interest in and see a value inprogramming and building such devices. Thus while they are better able to conceive ofapplications for such devices, in most cases they are no closer to actuating their concepts thanpast incoming students.With regard to computer electronics, for many years our undergraduate program sought to instillprogramming and interfacing skills through use of 8085 and 80186 architecture based machines.Laboratory experiments helped students learn Intel x86 machine architecture and assemblerlanguage.

Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Training (CAPT) software providesopportunities for student self-repetitions and self-evaluations. To help users evaluate theirpronunciation, a variety of feedback is provided to users, such as record comparison, spectrum,and shape-movement comparisons of the mouth.The lips are one of the pronunciation mechanisms. Lip movement is an important factor thatinfluences the pronunciation of learners.3 It is helpful for learners to get visual feedback abouttheir mouth-shape movements. Through feedback, learners can directly find where the mouthmovement is wrong and learn how to correct it. Arai & Oda4 used 3D

It gets steeper when students mismanage their time and “peak” for majorrequirements. The results of the time survey show that students have a tendency to waituntil the last moment to work on major requirements (see Figure 8). A future courseimprovement may be to require intermediate project submissions to flatten the time curveand improve work quality.Conclusion Clearly, there is more to developing a successful computer-aided design classthan collaboration with industry.
