These steps includeidentification of key competencies; categorization and prioritization; definition ofcompetency levels; development of assessment tools; scoring and evaluation rubrics;integration with organizational goals; feedback mechanisms; implementation and training;and iterative refinement. We incorporated steps first five steps to develop our survey, as theywere relevant to our goal of creating an assessment process for academia [3].MethodDesignThis study employed a quantitative approach to develop a

When I got back into the classroom withthis course, I had to adjust to a different environment than what I had experienced in my coopexperience. This gave me the experience in dealing with people who do not have a technicalbackground.The Classroom EnvironmentClass lectures are often judged by how good the professor is able to present a topic and relate tostudents. In this particular class, lecture material provided only classical textbook informationabout project management and software engineering fundamentals. The real learning took placeoutside the class lectures. As a result, no more will be said about the formal part of the class.Group
laboratory situation, mistakes must be an option since they are majorcontributors to our education.The SituationMistake recovery needs to be available to the student. The student found lost in the maze of alaboratory procedure that he does not understand is not learning what was desired. A laboratoryinstructor / professor needs to be available and conscious of the student conditions. Time isvaluable and particularly so in the technical fields. The students do not have time to learn allthat is desirable and some material must be cut from a program in order that the studentgraduate. Wasting time in a poorly run laboratory can be very frustrating to both instructors andstudents. Making the laboratory too easy for the student removes some of the

But that’s too hard for girls. (Female student)Without mentioning a specific encounter, some participants talked about a general sense of theirown awareness of being female in engineering: Yeah, so I always have to constantly feel like I have to prove myself, because I’m a girl in engineering. (Female student) Let’s say we’ll be hanging out with a group of them and I’ll be the only girl. Sometimes it’s jokingly, but….I’m never right. I’m always wrong. They always find some reason why I’m not right. Even

These keywords targeted three intersecting domains: virtual worldframeworks, game theory, and technology best practices. The search string included(“guidelines” OR “”standards” OR “framework” OR “game theory,” “best practices”) AND(“immersive learning” OR “virtual world”) AND (“early childhood” OR “young learners” OR“preschoolers” OR “PreK”). The search was conducted using the ERIC database and Google Scholar to access peer-reviewed sources. Materials reviewed included conference papers, journal articles,proceedings, and books written in English. Relevance was assessed by

Keeping it fresh and up to date can be a challenge,especially in fast-changing areas like web or mobile development.This paper presents two distinct experiences and insights (one of us is a university professor, andone is an industry professional) on “industrializing” a full-semester project in a web applicationdevelopment course that we co-teach. By industrializing, we mean evaluating the project with afocus on whether it is consistent with current industry practices, and then developing the projectas any good company would: using best practices from software engineering and industry, suchas iterative development, continuous integration, refactoring, and

Introduction An embedded system is an electronic system that combines microcontroller hardware andsoftware for monitoring and controlling diverse electro-mechanical systems (e.g., automatedindustrial machines, robotics, automobiles, airplanes, etc.) and smart devices (e.g., medical andhealthcare equipment, smartphones, and household appliances, etc.) [1]. In recent years, asurging demand for those mechatronic systems and intelligent products has driven the fastgrowth of global embedded systems market, from $88.35 billion in 2020 to
