. While statemachines are well known in networking and digital design, we have found that typical CPEstudents do not carry over their state machine skills into their network programs. In addition,CSC and SE majors may not have any experience in state diagrams and state machines.Therefore, as part of the process the concept of state diagrams and how they may be applied tonetworking programs is presented to the students.As shown in our results below, this approach has improved the completion rate and quality of thestudents’ programming assignment. In addition, I present the results of two student surveys thataddress using this methodology in developing programs.In the remainder of this paper we present an overview of the course, the steps used to

While commenting on the use of portfolios to assessengineering communication, Williams11 suggests that portfolios used in engineering educationshould be designed to document student learning in more technical areas, such as engineeringpractice, experiments, design, etc., and portfolio models adopted from language arts andeducation fields may not offer what engineering students/faculty need.
