Since the firstauthor was a professional programmer, we also discuss the expectations from a softwareengineer point of view.In this paper, we will focus on CSI and provide a teaching sample on how much thestudent should know about Java in CSI. We will also cover CSII, AdvancedProgramming, and object-oriented analysis and design with UML [5-6].Our goal is to teach students in a gradually improving mechanism for the OOP conceptissue while focusing on developing programming skills for most of our ComputerScience majors. 2.

lists of question prompts provided to them before they start their own projects. Thestudents’ community service learning included the following phases: Phase 1: Training. Seminars or on-line materials on creative problem solving skills areprovided to students before they go to the community learning sites. Students will learn thematerials to master how to solve a problem facing them in their service. Phase 2: On-site: Students are introduced to their community partners or mentors and starttheir service learning project for about two month period. Assisted by their mentors, the studentswill be introduced with the problems that the community faces and will select the project topicsthat fit into their learning interest and ability levels

Mechanical Engineering. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Taking a Bandsaw to 1st Grade: Transforming Elementary Schoolthrough Hands-on STEAM Education (Evaluation)AbstractIt is well recognized that the world needs interdisciplinary problem solvers and creative thinkersto address the problems of the future. Training in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering,Art, and Math (STEAM) is crucial for understanding the complexity of the world around us andfor identifying and tackling critical issues ranging from climate change to gender inequities. Tothat end, many programs have been launched all around the world to expose students to STEAMfields and to
expertiseresides. For example, there is the attitude that educational knowledge and practice from K-12 andadult education can not be directly applicable to higher education.The visiting scholar model also relies on the assumption that most of the local audience has thesame learning needs and desires and roughly the same availability. That is, since a workshop isscheduled for a given time with a defined agenda, it is necessary that the local audience beavailable to participate. If one misses the workshop, one might have a summary or materials torely upon, or a video tape to review, but seldom would one have the chance to engage thespeaker or other participants at another time. It is also necessary that the visitor make someassumptions about where the

The primary method of delivery will be to use the module that will bemade available online and in class to guide the class sessions as the students will see the topicstructure, relating examples, and visualization for a particular week, and cued for the next topicfor the following week.Evaluation instrumentsThe evaluation instrument element are methods and instruments that will be used in this classthat will evaluate learner’s mastery of each outcome [27]. This is primarily performed usingsome form of feedback mechanism, such as asking the students

Thus,each item of the survey was further examined for face and content validity.One question utilized in this analysis asked students to “Please rate the current likelihoodof your choosing a career in the following:”. The various career options were “Mathematics”,“Science/math teacher”, “Environmental science”, “Biology”, “Chemistry”, “Physics”,“Bioengineering”, “Chemical engineering”, “Materials engineering”, “Civil engineering”,“Industrial/systems engineering”, “Mechanical engineering”, “Environmental engineering”, and“Electrical/computer engineering

approach, teaching renewable energy comes with several challenges, which could be grouped as follows: a. Educational challenges: Integrating renewable energy topics into existing curricula or developing brand-new courses or even whole new curricula is time and effort intensive. Universities might not have enough personnel, or not have the right personnel. Educators might need specialized training to effectively teach renewable energy concepts. b. Technical Challenges: The field of renewable energy is evolving quickly, making it challenging for educational materials to stay current. Providing students with practical, up-to-date hands-on experience can be difficult due to the high cost and complexity of renewable energy equipment

designed the online tool to mimic an authentic labexperience. It includes physical representations of circuits that students would normally see in lab,like breadboards. It also includes a mechanism to take voltage measurements in the circuit. Bylogging all mouse and key clicks in the browser window as well as user replies, we observe bothstudents’ reasoning and actions as they work to understand the error in the circuit. Thus, our newtroubleshooting tool allows us to capture rich data for large number of students quickly andeffectively (and now remotely).Using our new tool, we were able to better understand how students approach troubleshootingcircuits. We were able to analyze where and why students got off track during the troubleshootingprocess

This is because AR can be accessed with different technologies such astable PCs, mobiles, and tablets. With an increasing number of mobile device owners, AR isavailable to more people. Furthermore, AR applications increased dramatically because themobile device is simpler and more portable (Martin et al., 2011). Compared to othertechnologies, AR has several advantages. Firstly, AR improves interactions between students andtheir student peers (Kamarainen et al., 2013), between students and the materials (Kamarainen etal., 2013), and between students and teachers (Zarraonandia, Aedo
