In some cases, computer science background of our graduates allow them pursueprofessional careers and graduate education in computer science. We believe that the computerscience component leads to increased opportunities for our graduates.

Certainly as colleges move more in the direction of on-line andblended learning experiences for their students, interest will grow in developing the “at home”lab experience. In this paper the author discusses some of his experiences with the last approach.Why Do It At HomeThe “at home” approach has two distinct features that can be an advantage for certain situations.The first feature is that there is no institutional restriction on the variety and size of objects to betested. Thus if an experiment is to be done using an automobile, a potentially large number of“at home” automobiles are available for possible testing. While a college

However, as proven of a techniqueas it is, many technical educators still are resistant to implementing AT in their classrooms for avariety of reasons; these can include: “the notion that students must first master the underlyingprinciples and theories of a discipline before being asked to solve substantive problems in thatdiscipline3, it requires too much effort to change existing course notes, and the class-time it takesto

Students are taught the importance of fundamentaltheory beyond rote memorization of the mechanics of the software implementation. Additionally,students are taught to investigate multiple solution methods for similar problems and choose themost efficient method. The course concludes with a project aimed at allowing students to learnnew software on their own, quickly and efficiently. The purpose of this paper is to outline thebasics of this course

At thesame time, there is substantial pressure on universities to lower tuition costs and use moreefficient models of teaching such as MOOCs. In this paper we discuss a model for flippingclassrooms that quickly amortizes the initial instructor investment and addresses the universityneed to reduce costs. At Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, we converted one of our highly impactedcore programming courses, CPE 357 Systems Programming, to an inverted style of instructionthat greatly increased instructional throughput without significantly increasing instructionalcosts.
