instructional design – “hybrid” in the sensethat students are provided with both depth and breadth learning experiences – can capitalize onthe strengths of both approaches to provide students an optimal design education experience.This paper will report the effectiveness of this instructional design in students internalizing andsubsequently owning key concepts and practices of the engineering design process. The class isorganized in two parts: a “design boot camp” in which students are involved in designchallenges from the first day of class for the first half of the semester, and an in-depth challengeduring the second half. The design boot camp is structured along the lines of the engineeringdesign process; student teams iterate through the cycle of

In this research, teachingand learning materials and activities have been remodeled by use of feedback from assessment resultson a regular basis in order to enhance students' conceptual change for more effective learning. Here,we report on the research question, "How can instructional materials be modified and adjusted topromote conceptual change by using formative and summative assessment in an introductory materialsclass?"

Initial analysisindicates that students learning Pascal or C++ (without the use of objects) for the first timeperformed marginally better than students that learned ADA95 or C. However, student surveysindicate that several constructs used in ADA95 and C caused these introductory students to havemore difficulty. By adjusting the presentation of these topics, the instructor can teach effectivelyin any of the four programming languages.

In particular, the study aims to answer the following hypotheses: 1. Students who complete the cross-disciplinary course are more likely to persist in their engineering studies than their peers who enrolled in a discipline-specific course. 2
