Paper ID #44673Developing a Writing Rubric to Answer Research Questions (not forGrading!)Mr. John William Lynch, University of Cincinnati I am an engineering and computing education PhD student at the University of Cincinnati. My interests are in retention of computer science students and improving Computer Science education for undergraduates by leveraging current technology. I am also interested in exploring the links between spatial skills and computer science, particularly how they can contribute to success in computer science. My overarching goal is to increase the retention rate for studying Computer Science at all

Two teaching approaches that have been developed based on a learning-style approachwill be shared. These approaches include the use of writing as well as interactive, live online chatsusing Blackboard technologies. Ideas for effective adaptation of these approaches by educators inother branches of science, as well as mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET) educationare discussed.I. INTRODUCTION The brisk changes that continue to occur in modern society, and in academia in particular,suggest that learning must be a continuous process. A growing body of

IntroductionThe purpose of this research project was to develop a software-based model, with hardwareimplementation capabilities, of a brain-inspired neural network responsible for edge andorientation detection. Consequently, we had to validate the developed model through extensivetesting, using diverse environments that might affect the functionality of the model—forinstance, the use of fixed images initially, and then, the incorporation of live streaming video.For such testing we used different geometric objects like squares, right triangles, circles, as wellas a more complex image like a picture of Lenna Gray (used to test image processing software

themes of improvement that has developed from these studies encourages dualemphasis on teaching and research at the undergraduate level (Coppula 1997). Rather thanviewing teaching and research as opposite ends of the spectrum of undergraduate education,integrative strategies can be adopted to benefit the student’s educational process. Synergismbetween teaching and research can be beneficial for the undergraduate engineering student(Sabatini 1997). Involving undergraduate students in the research process enables them to learnthe methods and processes of research, i.e. what scientists and engineers do, how to make informedjudgments about technical matters, and how to communicate and work in teams to solve complexproblems (NSF 1996).Motivated by
