They were discouraged from choosing games as their app idea since games apps tend torequire extensive graphics skills and design time; the instructors felt that one semester was tooshort a time-frame for students with heterogeneous programming experience levels to complete aplausibly compelling game app.Examinations were designed to be uniform for the course population, which meant that studentswere responsible for understanding material from outside their major. The examination questionswere vetted by all three instructors to ensure they were not over-dependent on any narrowdiscipline-specific material covered outside of the Mobile App Development course.Once

We in CEES are beginning to address these weaknesses viaclassroom reform. The paradigm centers on project-driven assignments, where students areorganized into permanent teams and given a complex design question at the beginning of thesemester before any substantive background material is delivered. In the remainder of thesemester (or portion thereof, if several tasks are to be assigned), class activities, be they shortlectures or class discussions or group exercises, are driven by student questions on how tocomplete the project.

WhileHenry Petroski was concerned about failures in engineering design, I believe the same applies toeducation. “I believe that the concept of failure – mechanical and structural failure in the context ofthis discussion – is central to understanding engineering, for engineering design has as its first andforemost objective the obviation of failure”.1 We also must learn from our past failures inengineering education. How can we justify such low graduation rates?I will take a brief tour down memory lane before looking at where we are today and where we maybe going in the future. Let’s start with the tools we had as engineers. To be an engineering student,you had to have your own slide

Although, this definition is often accurate, it is important to notethat the directly making learning into a game is not always the right strategy, ratherpsychological outcomes of playing a game should be achieved to drive behavioral outcomes. Itshould be noted that gamification is not always ideal for engagement and depends strongly onthe subject matter, approach and implementation. It is made effective with careful design ofassignments and course material ensuring that features of games replicate the learning experience(exploration, curiosity

To stretch the students’ collaborative skills and enhance their experience with more fluidteam configurations, we experimented with creating teams across two related senior-level classeswithin Computer Science, but with different perspectives and approaches. For one particularproject, shark spotting in drone video footage, the teams also collaborated with a group ofMarine Biologists from the Shark Lab at CSU Long Beach, who provided the video material andacted as a customer for three teams across the two classes

Integrating asynchronous and synchronous deliveryOur flexible distance learning framework offers the opportunity to redefine the classroomconcept, and to expand the set of tools available to the instructor. These tools can be groupedinto two categories: lecture delivery and enhanced materials. The first can be further subdividedinto synchronous and asynchronous modes of delivery.

It was found that whilestudents recognized the potential benefits of gamification, factors like time constraints and timemanagement were significant barriers to its effectiveness [10]. Buccafusca incorporatedgamification techniques, like problem-based learning and storytelling, in engineering educationto improve student engagement. Storytelling provided a structured context for students to followas they completed tasks. This narrative helped connect abstract concepts to real-world scenarios,making the material more relatable and memorable.

The broad nature of the material naturally lends itself to such a review,reinforcing the value of the engineering curriculum, giving students the satisfaction of being ableto apply their engineering skills to a particular topic and mimics the process of merging thesefoundational abilities with details of a specific knowledge area as will be required when enteringthe workforce.
