It seems no matter how often we cover a topic, somestudents don’t hear or it just doesn’t make sense to them. Hearing the topics discussed by newvoices and seeing code that has a different style, approaches a solution in a different way, or isorganized differently broadens the student’s exposure to the topics of the course and to code andproblem solving more generally.

The importance of hands-on active learning has longbeen an integral part of education theory. Educational Psychologist Jean Piaget states thatoptimal learning occurs through “active methods” which “require every new truth to berediscovered or at least reconstructed” by the student1. The National Science Foundation2 arguedin 1993 that “Engineering curriculum reform is necessary to meet the objectives of enhancing theacceptability of US industrial products in the international market” and that hands-onexperiences should be an integral part of that reform3.

assessment is based on thecommonly used course topics and based on identifying the common course learning objectives(CLOs). CLOs are then mapped with ABET’s program outcomes (POs). Assessment tools suchas class work, home work, quizzes, tests, as well as the final exam and/or final project work withpresentations are used to assess the performance of the students. The rationale for writing thispaper is to understand the variation if any in students’ understanding of the material on theiroverall performance in the class. Variation is to be expected since the student population isdifferent (full time versus part time, graduate versus undergraduate) and the course is taught bydifferent instructors. However, usage of common CLOs, course topics, and

The idea of deductive vs. inductive techniques has been explored extensively in liberalarts. In recent studies, it has been shown that students learn better when they are given the task ofstudent centered active learning in a classroom [1, 2]. The inductive techniques of learning havebeen successfully implemented. In the traditional deductive methodology, the instructor teachesstudents a certain concept and then gives a test, whereas; the inductive approach is studentcentered and interactive. A topic
