The first is a 19-item questionnaire instrumentmeasuring a student’s perception about his/her team’s overall performance in the three factors ofthe team effectiveness, as shown in Table 1. The latent variable expressing the student’sperception of their team’s overall performance is designated as TETEAM. In Table 1, itemsstarting with IN, GS and PT correspond to interdependency, goal setting and potencymeasurement respectively. All items are in a 5-item Likert-scale from Strongly Agree to StronglyDisagree.Table 1: Team effectiveness items for measuring a student’s general experience on howeffective they found their team experience (designated

This research resulted in the development of anumerical approach to modeling biodegradation of contaminants in karst aquifers that is taughtto environmental engineering students in several steps. First, environmental engineering studentsare taught chemical-reaction engineering principles relating to a wide variety of environmentalfate and transport issues. Second, as part of TSU’s engineering course curriculum, students use anon-ideal flow laboratory reactor system and run a tracer study to establish residence timedistribution (RTD). Next, the students couple that formula to a first-order biodegradation rateand predict the

Not only dosuch experiences help engineering students see the value of communication for their futurecareers, but writing in the engineering classroom also introduces students to the modes ofcommunication that are appropriate to the field of engineering. When the engineering professorassigns lab reports, project proposals, and design reports, students learn to communicate from apractitioner of engineering communication, that is, the engineering faculty member. 6

The company he works for wants to maintain itsleadership in this area. They also want to respond to the emerging environmental problemcaused by the disposal of the inkjet cartridges used in their current model. These inkjetcartridges are made in his hometown. If the new generation of printers does not usedisposable cartridges, then the plant in his hometown will close, putting friends and family outof work.

ConclusionThis paper presents a framework for video game scripting engines designed as an introduction tocomputer programming. Students, with little to no experience in programming, write code using alimited set of instructions to control game characters in a head-to-head video game competition.Since only a few instructions are available, students quickly learn the language syntax andsemantics and are able to focus their time on computational thinking skills.

The instructor also added new elements of professionalism, teamwork, and lab safetyinto the already built course structure. Finally, course level assessments were changed from theold ABET Student Learning Outcomes A thru K to the newly adopted ABET Outcomes 1 thru 7.This is a perfect example of a course revision because new elements were added to an alreadyexisting course and the assessment criteria was updated.An example of a Course Component project occurred for a required freshmen

The goal of this study was to apply the principals ofsoftware engineering to the creation of elementary school math software. A retrospectiveanalysis is conducted to provide guidelines for making future software more meaningful andeffective. The ideal result of this process would produce not only the software but a detailedanalysis of the requirements necessary for other such software to be implemented and
