resources. Unlike other subjects of the traditional curriculum, there is no unified curriculum for computer education. However, some common trends may be found which may constitute the backbone of a computer education curriculum. Needles to say that the components that curriculum should be carefully crafted to suit grade levels and students abilities. Another striking observation was that only about 10% of the teachers in the computer-using schools said they are able to use computers. This percentage is expected to be even lower in the non- computer-using schools. One can conclude that it could be a hopeless case to try to introduce all aspects of computer education without massive teacher training both

The model of adaptive expertise hasbeen presented as a way of thinking about how to prepare learners to flexibly respond to newlearning situations, which is precisely what students are expected to do in the context ofdeveloping design solutions. We focus on “computational adaptive expertise,” which weabbreviate CADEX, since a major portion of an engineering curriculum focuses on developinganalytical and computational knowledge. Yet, students often struggle with applying ortransferring computational knowledge in the context of design. The current paper presents anoverview of adaptive expertise and relates this concept specifically to engineering designeducation. In addition, the paper presents an overview

Barry William States Lee College of Engineering The University of North Carolina at Charlotte Charlotte, NC 28223AbstractThe Engineering Technology (ET) department at UNC Charlotte began offering the first twoyears of its BSET curriculum in the fall semester 2004, having previously been exclusively a“two plus two” program. Although much of the first two years includes basic studies in English,math, and physics, the department has chosen to teach its own freshman level class in computercompetency.The goal of ETGR 1100
Science and Engineering Education The goal is to deliver an improved learning setting for computer science education. Using the CBE concept, the framework can become portable and be generalized to offer a wider range of services for computer science and engineering education. To determine potential computer science courses, we analyze our curriculum in respect to the CS2008 Review Taskforce 31 sponsored by ACM and IEEE Computer Society. The analyzing process was based on the assignment types, syllabus components, and course specifications in the CS Curriculum 2008 31 , and with respect to the base services of Cloud Computing. The result is illustrated in Figure 4 mapped into the three

But mostly theseuniversities offer their data mining course as a graduate course. Therefore, the students whograduate from the universities like our university with no graduate computer science programwill not have the opportunity to get Data Mining knowledge.To improve our Database Engineering curriculum, we have decided to add a new Data Miningcourse to this curriculum. The paper first presents this curriculum and then elaborates the contentdetail of this Data Mining course.Introduction:In addition to associate degrees, the Computer Science and Pre-Engineering department offers

andpreparation for the course. The results are summarized in Table 1. A majority of the studentswere from the Computer Engineering (CE) major; this is not surprising since the course isrequired in the CE curriculum and most of them are interested in the topic. There were also afew Electrical Engineering (EE) majors who could take it as an elective. There were noComputer Science (CS) majors who could also take the course as an elective. In terms ofprerequisites, most of the students can program in C/C++ and assembly language but they are notnecessarily proficient. Most have also taken courses in digital logic design, computerorganization, and operating systems. The survey also indicated that a majority of students hadlittle prior knowledge or experience
