Source: Wilson Research Group and Mentor, a Siemens Company [9].An Important Topic that is Rarely TaughtAll engineers, regardless of whether they specialize in software- or hardware-based systems, needto be skillful in troubleshooting [11]. Debugging is a skill that can be taught even though it mayseem intuitive. In order to achieve this, debugging must be emphasized through efficient teachingmethods [12]. As early as the 1970s, the computer science and software engineering domainsbegan to acknowledge and explore debugging strategies [13, 14]. Numerous studies on softwaredebug education have been reported [6, 15, 16, 17]. However, the
An Evaluation of Some Low-cost Rapid Prototyping Systems for Educational Use Wayne Helmer, Damon Mobbs Arkansas Tech University, Arkansas Tech University,AbstractRapid Prototyping (RP) technology and methods have been around for over twenty years. Asthis technology has matured the base price of these units has decreased as well. RP are nowcost effective in graduate schools, technical schools, secondary and primary educationalfacilities. New improvements in the technology have made RP units available to almost anyschool in our country. This paper evaluates some of the current low cost RP units availableand provides recommendations for those schools seeking to implement such technology

response to questions related to the role ofcomputational software and traditional or classical analysis methods. Similar questions wereposed to both target groups; faculty/administrators and practicing engineers. The goal was toidentify a core curriculum for educating the engineers of the future and preparing graduatesentering the profession today. By polling two groups, educators and practitioners, theorganization hoped to identify the common ground between the target groups, but also identifythe differences.Backstory: The committee callAre the expectations or training for students entering the structural engineering profession thesame for academics, educators and practitioners?

The use of Open EducationResources (OER), which are materials that have low or no cost for academic use, can helpaddress the issue of access. Construction Management Technology courses can realize thisbenefit relatively easily, as the needed resources may often be accessed or created based onmaterials available from public agencies at all levels of government. There are several goalsother than reduced cost that

survey link via emailthrough the McMaster University-approved software LimeSurvey, whereby students could decideto participate in the survey and submit their answers anonymously. This survey link was sent outby administrative staff and not by the course instructor to mitigate instructor influence on surveyresults. All data was stored securely within the university through LimeSurvey host servers,without reliance on a third-party external data storage surveying tool. The survey was created suchthat learners would be able to reflect on their experiences on a semesterly basis. This was done inan effort to not over-survey learners after each tutorial, as students in newly developed courses canoften be over-surveyed with ongoing educational research
Improvement (CCLI) proof-of-concept project thatcorresponds with this work aims at developing FE tutorials. These learning modules can beeasily implemented in “traditional” undergraduate engineering courses. The FE learningmodules provide students with hands-on experience in FE method applications in problemmodeling. The models include problem definition, project educational objectives, analysisapproach, assumptions, goals, and comparison to hand calculations or experimental data,following a unique learning cycle known as Kolb’s cycle. To scaffold learning for thoseunfamiliar with the commercial FE software, students are provided with systematic, step-by-stepprocedures of modeling.Initially, we have developed FE learning modules in six engineering
structures, we elected to focus on understanding through postsecondary educators.The research questions (RQs) that we sought to answer were: • RQ1: How do educators incorporate learning experiences for undergraduate computing students into courses to aid in their career outcome expectations? • RQ2: What actions do educators see as necessary for institutions to take to enhance students’ technical interview performance and career attainment?Towards our goal, we conducted a focus group with educators from institutions around the U.S.We centered deliberately on those who may interact with and/or teach computing students, a termthat we envision as encompassing majors such as computer science (CS), software engineering(SE), information

Future analysis of thistype of data could examine trends in recent graduates’ applications and job acceptances helpingus to better understand what engineering education positions look like.

This would allow more flexibility in the sorts which may reveal new findings regardingthis topic.RecommendationsIn keeping with the “Tricks of the Trade” nature of this paper, we would like to offerrecommendations to future researchers based on our experiences conducting this work.
