studied classes included the relevant questions. The main reason is based on ourfaculty’s previous class study since there was a strong link between the final exam questions andthe LOs in WReSTT-CyLE. If the questions on software testing were not included in the finalexam, even students with high motivation and excellent grades in the class would have a hardtime maintaining a high performance.Our current computer science curriculum is designed to organize the senior design project intotwo semesters: Software Engineering (CS/CMP 401) and Senior Problem (CS/CMP 403). In thisway, computer science students have enough time to complete a sophisticated project that is ableto demonstrate integrated software development skills through the development
Piloting a New Curriculum: A View from the TrenchesAbstractTeachers who implement a new curriculum provide invaluable feedback to content developmentteams. Without this feedback, possible improvements to the material would not be known andconsequently, not made. Teachers are in the trenches experiencing the various pains ofimplementing new educational programs. They see firsthand the impact on the students and,thus, recognize the positives, negatives, and potential improvements to the course design.This paper presents the experience of high school teachers implementing new curricula – onebased on the science of cyberspace called Cyber Science, and the other is a redesign of physics.Both courses were developed by Louisiana Tech University in
Engineering student identities in the navigation of the undergraduate curriculum Reed Stevens, Kevin O’Connor, Lari Garrison University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USARecent educational theory emphasizes the importance of considering identity processes instudying learning and development. In engineering education, identity has been cited ascentral in student development, for example, as a key factor in retention of students in thediscipline. This paper examines how identity relates to students’ decisions about whetherto remain in or switch out of engineering majors. We develop case studies of twostudents, both women and both members of underrepresented
. ConclusionsThe ultimate goal of this work is to develop an efficient and effective model for integratingresearch results into the undergraduate curriculum. While just being five months into the projecthas not allowed time for complete development and testing of the proposed model, progress sofar has been encouraging. The use of Authorware by undergraduate students to aid thedevelopment of course materials has worked well. Both the theoretical and experimental aspectsof the NASA bioreactor research project chosen have been conducive to demonstrating thedesired learning objectives.AcknowledgmentsThis material is based upon work supported by the North Carolina Biotechnology Center underits program for enhancing biotechnology capabilities at North Carolina

The on-line program was developed by two master level graduate students in computer science attending Colorado School of Mines. Both students were enrolled in an independent study which was designed to support the acquisition of advanced computing and design skills while exploring humanitarian applications in another country. The targeted high school students have had limited laboratory and computer experience.
