The templates for many of the games and quizzespresented on the teaching toolbox site were designed so that they could be used by students withlimited computer skills. The creation of tutorial movies by students in engineering graphics hasbeen successful to the extent that the student materials represent a significant portion of thecourse content. The greatest depth of knowledge achieved by students occurred in areas wherethey created instructional content for others.Bibliography[1] Crown, S., Freeman, R., and Fuentes A.A., “Asynchronous Computer Based Training as a Means of Integratingthe Use of Engineering Software into the Curriculum”, Computer in Education Journal, Vol. XIV No.3, July-September 2004.[2

. 11. INTRODUCTIONSeveral factors have been identified to contribute to the uneven pursuit and completion of engineering andcomputer science degrees based on race and ethnicity: (a) the lack of exposure to engineering or computerscience as fields of study or as career opportunities [1], (b) the lack of professional identity (inability tosee oneself as a professional) [2], (c) an impaired sense of belonging [3, 4], and (d) the lack of self-efficacy (how well one can execute a course of action to deal with a prospective situation) [5]. Thedemands of an engineering and computer science curriculum contribute to high dropout rates [6], evenhigher for underrepresented students [3, 7, 8]. Early failure in math and science courses pose a barrier

While thisopenness enables freedom within curriculum development, it can also mean that technologyprograms are underdeveloped, understaffed and without the technical support needed to sustainsuch programs on a daily basis. To address these challenges, educational Fellows of the National Science Foundation’s (NSF)GK12 program have introduced a pilot program of computer-aided instruction (CAI) at two site

BME 303 is arequired freshman-level course in the biomedical engineering curriculum at UT Austin.

Notably, the course has no prerequisites, allowing students with diverse backgrounds todevelop coding skills early in their academic journey.This abstract details the evolution of BME 303 from a traditional programming course to one deeplyembedded in biological and biomedical contexts.
