that students completing this course areproficient in programming both in MATLAB (which will be extensively used throughout theMechanical Engineering curriculum) and in Arduino C (which will be used in the Mechatronicssequence).Teaching computer programming to mechanical engineering students has historically been achallenge, since they may not be gifted in this area and often struggle to see the relevance ofcomputer programming to engineering while still freshmen. The basic idea behind our approachis to motivate student learning using a concrete engineering application in the form of a hands-on, microcontroller-based team project with an end-of-semester competition.Other engineering programs have also introduced microcontroller-based

Both courses are part of the core computer science curriculum for all computerscience majors and minors, and are considered gateway courses to specialized upper levelcourses.In our results, we observed an association between student partnerships and increased projectperformance during the same semester, confirming the observations of prior work. Whenexamining student performance in the following course (CS3), our largest statistically significantresult was for students in the lowest GPA quartile: those who had partnered in CS2 wereassociated with improved project scores in CS3, where they all worked alone.1 Introduction and Related WorkPair programming is a software development technique where two programmers work together atone

Dickerson and Clark [7] researched the role of SPICE (anelectronics circuit simulation computer program) in university microelectronics courses. Theyexplored the difference between teaching a course using an interactive simulation in-class versusteaching the course without. Students reported that engaging in the simulation helped them withtest and quiz problems, and that they felt they understood something from the simulation thatthey would not have learned without it. These students scored higher on the final exam thanstudents who did not take the course with

The goal of these PD workshops was toincrease teacher’s confidence and capability in integrating culturally relevant computing andcoding experiences within their curriculum and instruction. Here, we set our focus on the impactof the PD. Through the PD, teachers were engaged in computing and coding professionaldevelopment via Code.org. The teachers were then asked to apply what they learned aboutcoding by developing and implementing culturally relevant computing and coding experiencesfor their students. Here, we share early findings from three of the teacher

Actually, there is a need to address thetraditional mindset throughout the curriculum of computer science. The author regularly teaches twocourses that are well-suited for educating students to see their profession as a service type professionthat caters to the needs of users. However, there is a need for more faculty to take up this challenge ofemphasizing that computer science is a service profession that requires students to learn how tocommunicate well with users in order to build

For example, the tree architecture of the basic MS-DOS operatingsystem can be shown to be similar to the folder/sub-folder scheme of the Macintosh system. These twosystems can then be contrasted to the complex, web-like structures that result from logical hypertext links onworldwide web (WWW, or just web) pages. These types of relationships can be explored in computer-basedengineering laboratories, where cutting-edge information technology issues that arise and mature too quickly tobe included formally in the curriculum can be introduced.
