Within this 36-month project, 90 low-income rural and urban students (1) learned abouttechnologies involved in game products; (2) learned about programming, computer graphics, and animation; (3)created games on four science themes – recycling, nutrition, physical exercise or activity, and substance abuse; (4)finalized their interactive game projects for distribution in local educational communities; and (5) shared

The Use of Extra Credit to Improve Course Design Thomas Shepard University of MinnesotaAbstract: This paper discusses the use of extra credit assignments in a semester-longintroductory fluid mechanics course. During two semesters students (n = 180) had a chance toimprove their grade by applying material learned in class to homework-type problems on topicsfor which time did not allow in-depth coverage. The problems were designed to expose studentsto the potential use of course material to real world applications while also incorporating criticalmath skills, yet these problems were much more challenging than an average homeworkproblem.

This coursefocuses on the impact of technological development and is one of several "substantial writingcomponent" courses in the curriculum. Students in the Plan II program are purposefully chosenfrom a wide range of degree programs in Natural Sciences, Engineering, Social Sciences, LiberalArts, Public Policy, Languages and Performance Arts. The classes are intentionally composed ofmixed majors to provide a broad perspective in the discussions. I found the style of teachingrequired a refreshing change from my usual classroom experience.

since students feel asthough they have more control over their education [8]. Mastery-based-learning (MBL) alsoeliminates the “one-shot” mindset for students taking exams. If students are not able todemonstrate mastery on their first attempt, they are given additional chances and, if theydemonstrate mastery, they will receive the same score as students who succeeded on their firstattempt [9]. This allows students to learn from their mistakes and try again without anypenalties.Since the curriculum in engineering courses continually builds on itself, it is extremely importantthat students understand prerequisite materials. If students are struggling with the more basiccontent, they will inevitably struggle with subsequent content. Falling behind

While this madethe assignments more tractable, it hid what is often a critical piece of designing digital systems.Also, while the culminating Pong game project was fun, it utilized digital logic in a fairly classicaldomain and had limited broad relevance.Existing research has identified a number of factors that can help attract and retainunderrepresented groups, especially women, within engineering

A typical course covers a wide range of topics, startingwith integrated circuit processing, device physics, transistor characteristics, layout rules,common circuit structures, timing and power dissipation, and the use of CAD tools toproduce chip designs. Given the broad coverage of material in such a course, it isdifficult to adequately cover the details of how each CAD tool operates. Instead, CADtools are usually treated as “black boxes” which automatically generate a design, withlittle or no explanation of the capabilities and limitations of each tool. Courses in

The course was intendedto be of interest to students from business, engineering, and industrial sciences. Within business,interest was strongest with students from computer information systems (CIS), and MBAs withan interest in manufacturing, quality, and/or technology management. Mechanical engineeringand industrial technology were the two areas outside business most frequently represented afterCIS and MBAs. The course was offered at the ‘500’ level meaning both undergraduate andgraduate students may take the
